Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe A descendant of the Russian Romanov royal dynasty, Grand Duke George, and his Italian fiancee, Victoria Romanovna Bettarini, got married in a lavish ceremony at the St Isaac's Cathedral in St Petersburg on Friday. Hundreds of guests, including dozens of members of Europe's royal families, attended the first wedding of its kind on Russian soil in 127 years. The grand duke's wife Bettarini last year took the name Victoria Romanovna and converted to the Russian Orthodox Church ahead of the marriage. Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Romanov is the descendant of Russia's last emperor Nicholas II, who was executed by Bolsheviks along with his family in the Ural city of Ekaterinburg in 1918. #Russia #StPetersburg #Romanov #RoyalWedding Video ID: 20211001-023 Video on Demand: https://ruptly.tv/videos/20211001-023 Contact: cd@ruptly.tv Twitter: http://twitter.com/Ruptly Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Ruptly
