Was The Duke of Edinburgh a Bigamist? - and Who Was Grand Duchess Maria?

Also, was he much older than previously thought?

Duke of Edinburgh and Grand Duchess Maria of Russia Married Jany. 1874

Must have been a lot older than everyone thought, too!

Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia was the fifth child and only surviving daughter of Emperor Alexander II of Russia and Princess Marie of Hesse and by Rhine; she was Duchess of Edinburgh and later Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha as the wife of Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. 

Was my title a classic piece of "clickbait"?
