Natalya met Grand Duke Mikhail Aleksandrovich.

In the fall of 1908, in Krasnoe Selo, Natalya met Grand Duke Mikhail Aleksandrovich.

"He doesn't care about your pain or our pain," Nicholas II wrote to his mother, Empress Dowager Maria Feodorovna, of course against her brother's relationship with Natalya.

In 1904, Nicholas appointed Mikhail "ruler of the State", Regent, under the command of the minor Alexey Nikolaevich. Michael should have married some German princess.

Natalya became pregnant with the Grand Duke, and Mikhail convinced Emperor Nikolay II to allow the divorce of her, who was married, so that the child would not become the legitimate son of the lieutenant. She was exiled to give birth abroad, and Misha, was sent to Oryol, to command a regiment of hussars.

On August 6, 1910, she gave birth to a son, George. He was registered as Brasov, after the name of Mikhail's estate in present-day Bryansk region.

In October 1912, after fleeing their pursuers by car to Vienna, the couple married in a Serbian Orthodox church. Mikhail was an idealist and wanted to make Natalia an honest woman and form her family with her little son. The wedding was witnessed by the temple watchman and his wife.

The couple were barred from entering Russia. Mikhail was stripped of the title of "ruler of the state", all his properties in his homeland were transferred to custody.

The great war changed the situation, Mikhail, who volunteered to fight and little George received from Nicholas II the title of Count Brasov and Natalia, only the right to bear this surname.

No one remembers that the new emperor has a morganatic wife with a son from his first marriage. After all, Peter the Great made Martha Samuilovna Skavronskaya, in his first marriage to Kruse, crowned by the Russian empress, and everyone only benefited from this. It occurs in terrible moments in history.

In 1928, his grandmother, Empress Maria, died in exile and he inherited his estate along with his aunts, Grand Duchesses Olga and Xenia. With part of his inheritance he bought a sports Chrysler and in the summer of 1931, after finishing his exams at the Sorbonne, he planned a vacation in the South of France with his friend, the Dutchman Edgar Moneanaar, promising his mother to return for his 21st birthday. On July 20, on the way from Paris to Cannes, near Sens, the car ran off the road and crashed into a tree. Moneanaar, who was driving the car, died, and Jorge, with broken thighs and serious internal injuries, was taken to a hospital. His mother was able to get to the hospital but at 11:30 a.m. the following day Jorge died without having regained consciousness.

He was buried in the Passy cemetery in Paris. His mother died poor of cancer in 1952 and was buried next to him.

The inscription on the tomb says Fils et Epouse de SAI Grand Duc Michel de Russie.

His right of succession to the imperial throne, denied, could be questioned since Tsar Nikolay II pardoned his father in 1917 when he asked her to assume the throne of the Russian Empire and restore his succession position. Grand Duke George Mikhailovich was the last male descendant of Tsar Alexander III.
