The Georgian royal family of the Bagrations practiced masculine primogeniture, legitimate sons and their descendants taking precedence over daughters and natural sons, and their descendants. Tamara the Great in 1184 was among the nation's earliest ruling queens and Tamara II, 560 years later in 1744, became the last.

The claim to represent the royal legacy is asserted on behalf of both Prince Nugzar Bagration-Gruzinsky and Prince David Bagrationi of Moukrani, representatives of the Gruzinsky and Mukhransky branches of the Bagrationi dynasty, respectively. Prince David's late father, Prince George Bagration-Mukhransky, was recognised by the Georgian government as head of the former royal house in 1991. being the most senior legitimate descendant of the dynasty in the male line, but other prominent Georgians acknowledge the claim of Prince Nugzar, the seniormost descendant in legitimate male line of King George XII, the last Bagrationi to reign over the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti.
