Princess Xenia Georgievna of Russia

This is the story of Princess Xenia Georgievna of Russia, best known for her entanglement in the longest-running royal mystery of the 20th century - the Anna Anderson case. We’ll get to that hot mess, but I think the rest of her life is way more interesting.
Xenia's story has a little bit of everything: tragedy, romance, a teddy bear, drama, scandal, heartbreak, and a speedboat. Yes, a speedboat.
She married a man who'd grown up in the public eye, known to everyone as "the World's Richest Boy" or "Little Prince Lonely." But money doesn't guarantee love or happiness...as Xenia would discover.
From the riches of Romanov Russia to the roaring '20s in glamorous New York, Xenia's story spans countries and continents. I hope you enjoy meeting this Romanov princess!
History is so awesome.

ABOUT THE GIRL IN THE TIARA
----------------------------------------------------
I tell stories about tiaras and the fascinating royal women who wore them. Join me as I follow these tiaras across generations and countries, through wars and revolutions and-sometimes-into darkness and disappearance and destruction.
This isn't the kind of history your professor lectured about. Instead, think of this as conversational history, like a mash-up of Drunk History and The Crown. Yes, there's a little swearing. There's also humor and heart and a boatload of compassion for these amazing royal women.
ABOUT ME
-------------------
I never intended to start a channel or a website about tiaras and royal history. But a midlife crisis forced me to re-examine my life. I gave up fiction writing after self-publishing 9 of the 10 books I'd written and earning next to nothing.
Instead of the misery of marketing books, I turned to my first love...royal history. So here I am, a 40-something burnout, trying to start over by recapturing her love of history, royal women, and their jewels.

Xenia's cousin was Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh who is Queen Elizabeth II's husband, but Xenia's story is interesting

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Yes, cousins, that's right - Philip's mother, Alice of Battenberg, married Andrew of Greece and Denmark. Andrew's sister was Maria of Greece and Denmark, Xenia's mother. I always have to stop and think to get that genealogy worked out. :P

I love that Catherine the Great had a smallpox inoculation in 1768 to prove to the rest of her court (and Russia at large) that it was safe.

[@ccbsnyc]

Xenia's daughter, Nancy Wynkoop, donated her collection of Russian decorative arts (including a Faberge egg) to the Middlebury College Museum of Art. An interesting article on Xenia's family and the collection can be found on their website. The Steiff bear was auctioned in the 1980s. Soon thereafter Steiff licensed it and issued a limited edition. These copies occasionally come up for auction for a few hundred dollars.

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

The Leeds family is a fascinating one. Basically Billy Leeds spent his fortune in typical playboy fashion. He didn't die penniless but his fortune was much diminished. The history of his father's business partner, Daniel G. Reid, is even more interesting. I am trying to find information on his third wife, who was involved in a scandalous divorce in 1920. The Reids were eventually involved with the New York Yankees and one of the sons married Lana Turner.

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Wow, that does sound fascinating! I've never looked into the Leeds business - other than seeing the many references to William Leeds, Sr. as the "Tin Plate King." Those early Hollywood connections are so much fun! Good luck with your research - if you publish a blog post, podcast, or book, come back and let me know - I'll be interested. :)

@@TheGirlintheTiara fairytale origins are more of my forte. Real royal families have less enchanted lives with issues that are no longer acceptable. Like marrying within the family. Deformities. Religious practices that hurt people. Bigotry. Percussions. Witch trials. No fair trials. Torture weapons. It's like an old era of ideas that are now known as incorrect. At the same time their glamorous castles and money is something to admire. And clothing. They always had pretty fabric. Claiming territory can make you a monarch or a dictator but you still need to listen to science. I think I want to see a scientific royal family. Btw she looks like Olivia Rodrigo

@@TheGirlintheTiara ...Thank you,I am now 74,my Grandmother passed 20 years ago .So many of my family are passing now but I remember all the stories of family members history, My eldest son told me I should write it all down, I am still out of habit tell stories ,passing down oral history thought the old way,taught to me .My Grandparents on the other side (my mum's) once told me in old Scotland I would have been called a Bard (a teller of stories and oral history) But not everyone has a good memory so I think I had better listen and do something about it as I am at that age ,well you know. And with the crona vires, much would be lost .God bless.

@@crystalroseblue6760 Oh, I definitely agree with your eldest son that you should write down as much as you can! Or maybe make a recording, if you prefer speaking to writing. I'm sure your family would love to have the voice of a Bard to share with future generations. My grandma made folders of the family history information she had for all of us grandkids, and it was one of the best Christmas gifts I've ever gotten. She passed away in 2013, and I miss her every single day. Best of luck with your family history project! :)

@@TheGirlintheTiara Yes I think I will,these days when we are isolated it is something to keep occupied with anyway.thank you again for your encouragement.Sorry to hear of your loss ,but remember they are always there in spirit, and you will feel the warmth of their love when you need it like a warm blanket wraped around you.

@@crystalroseblue6760 That would be wonderful for your family to have to pass on. If you don't want to write it record it so they could also hear your voice. That would be a great treasure, in itself to be able to hear you.
