Grand Duke George Mikhailovich of Russia (Russian: Georgiy Mikhailovich Romanov, Russian cyrillic: Георгий Михайлович Романов) (born March 13, 1981) is the heir apparent to the disputed Headship of the Imperial Family of Russia, and claims the titles Tsarevich and Grand Duke of Russia. He has all his life been styled His Imperial Highness Grand Duke George Mikhailovich of Russia, by grant of his maternal grandfather. George also has the title Prince of Prussia with the style of Royal Highness. He was born in 1981, the son of Prince Franz Wilhelm of Prussia (at the time styled HIH Grand Duke Michael Pavlovich of Russia) and Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia. He has lived in France and in Spain. On April 21, 1992, upon the death of his maternal grandfather Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, his mother succeeded as the sovereign and Curatrix of the Throne of Russia, making him heir-apparent and Tsarevitch. His claim to the throne is contested, for reasons detailed in the article on the line of succession to the Russian throne. In 1996, when he, his mother, and his grandmother Leonida returned to Russia after living in Madrid, one of President Boris Yeltsin's former bodyguards was assigned as tutor to the 15-year-old prince.
He has since been schooled in the United Kingdom, including at St Benet's Hall, Oxford. When asked by reporters if he expected the monarchy in Russia to be restored some day, he replied, "I hope so." George is the 110th heir in the line of succession to the British Throne.
