Princess Tilsim von Liechtenstein (47) also traveled to Russia with her husband Prince Rudolf (46). Prince Leka of Albania (39) and his wife Princess Elia (38) were honored. Simeon von Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha (84) and Margarita Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (86) also accepted the wedding invitation, which was a rarity.
At the side of her father Roberto Bettarini (74), the radiantly beautiful Rebecca walked down the long corridor of St. Isaac’s Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, where she came to stand by the side of her future husband in front of the altar. The native Italian and Grand Duke Georgi have known each other since their youth and was quickly certain that they would not want to spend their lives without each other. The couple had officially married a week earlier, and Rebecca had already converted to the Orthodox faith last year.
The mother of the groom Marija Vladimirovna Romanova (67) was also visibly touched. As pretender to the throne of the Romanov dynasty of the Romanov-Holstein-Gottorp tsarist house, which ruled until 1917. She made several requests to rehabilitate the Romanovs, but these were repeatedly rejected until the royal family was rehabilitated on October 1, 2008 by the decision of the Supreme Court.
