Marie was very spoiled by her father and believed that, as a Grand Duchess and the only surviving daughter of the Tsar, she should taken precedence over the other married-in Princesses. She believed "God first, then the Romanovs." I don't think she and Affie had a very happy marriage and, while I do think it was a genuine "affection" match, I can't help but think her lavish dowry and her even more lavish annual income had something to do with Affie's choice of bride.
