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. #history #romanovs #royalty 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.
