In St. Petersburg on 19 February 1824, Michael married his first cousin once removed Princess Charlotte of Württemberg (1807-73), the daughter of Prince Paul of Württemberg and Charlotte of Saxe-Hildburghausen.

Mikhailovsky Palace was built by Carlo Rossi for Grand Duke Michael between 1819-1825. The Palace now holds the Russian Museum.

Michael's great-great-great-grandson Duke Georg Borwin of Mecklenburg is the current head of the House of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
