Detailed explanation-1: -The eldest died in infancy and the second eldest, Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia, had one son, Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich of Russia. His only child is Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia, making her the legal heir to the Russian throne.
Detailed explanation-2: -Queen Elizabeth’s great-grandmother Queen Alexandra came from Danish royalty.
