WI: Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna, the Younger Survives

Anna Petrovna (1757-1759) was legally the daughter of Emperor Pyotr III and Ekaterina Alexeïevna, however the rumor went that she was actually fathered by Stanislaw II Poniatowski.

Say HIH had survived what killed her in 1759, what might her future hold? Who might she be married off to? Might the rumors about her paternity dash any hopes of marrying abroad? Or perhaps a fear that she had inheritd her mother's taste for power would make suitors rethink their betrothal.
 
Given that Mommy dearest is now Tsarina by the time this Anna is of reasonably marriageable age (assuming that still goes as OTL), I can't imagine the parentage would be a problem; it wasn't for Paul (who had similar rumors). A non-ruler might be slightly more difficult, but it's not as if recent events hadn't emphasized that succession in Russia tended to be somewhat murky.
