The Russian Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov, Count Sumarokov-Elston. (1887-1967).

Irina Aleksandrovna Romanova's husband, who was Tsar Nicholas II's niece. Also Rasputin's murderer.

An incredibly attractive and handsome man. He is described as charming, chivalrous, charismatic and so handsome. 

I investigated about him because of Rasputin, but when I saw photos of the Russian prince, well...I can't tell I didn't find him attractive. I wish I could have met him :_(

He was a complete gentleman.

Irina Alexandrovna Romanova (1895 -1970)

When Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich married Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna (sister of the then Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich), he was marrying one of the best matches in Europe: Xenia was the daughter of the Tzar Alexander III and the sister of the future Tzar Nicholas II. She had been in love with "Sandro," her second cousin, since childhood (and he saw no reason to discourage her affections, of course)

Sandro and Xenia had seven children. Irina was their first child and only daughter. This beautiful, quiet, delicate child was the first grandchild of Alexander III (who died the year before she was born) and would be the only biological niece of Tzar Nicholas II.

During the first few years of their respective marriages, the Tzar and Empress Alexandra and Grand Duke Alexander and Grand Duchess Xenia spent a lot of time together, and their daughters Olga and Tatiana, and Irina being very close in age, spent a lot of time together and developed a relationship. Distance would later grow between the couples and the children.

By the time Xenia was pregnant with her seventh child, her marriage to Sandro had gone sour. Sandro had fallen in love with a French/Spanish woman and was having an affair with her. Subsequently, Xenia started an affair of her own. Some sources say that they managed to keep their marital problems from their children; others that their quarrels might have had something to do with Irina's decision to marry Prince Felix Yusupov when he asked.

Felix was handsome, extremely smart, and one of the richest men in Russia, but he had a reputation. Irina accepted him as a bridegroom regardless of her parents' misgivings. Felix had a wild youth which seemed to include affairs with men and women. He enjoyed dressing as a woman and wearing his mother's jewels; apparently, he even caught Edward VII's eye at some point. When the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna talked with him about this behavior before his marriage to Irina, he did not deny it. Still, he said that his wild days were over, and he was very much in love with Irina.

Irina had no qualms about signing away succession rights for their future progeny when she married Felix, who was not royal (their marriage was morganatic.) She married him wearing a veil that had belonged to Marie Antoinette. Both looked beautiful. Their wedding was the last grand happening (1000 guests) before the Great War.

Felix and Irina were out of Russia when WWI started and had difficulty passing through Germany to return to Russia.

The Yusupovs settled in a section of Felix's parents' Moika Palace. Felix and Irina had one daughter (whom they named Irina but called "Bebe") and helped the war effort in Russia by opening two hospitals and a sanatorium in their Crimean state of Koreiz.

Felix would go on to kill Rasputin (he was banished to Koreiz by the Tzar) in a misguided effort to help the dynasty survive. As things in Russia became worse. A group of members of the Imperial Family, including the Dowager Empress, Irina's parents and brothers, and several Grand Dukes and their families, avoided being imprisoned and murdered by seeking shelter in Crimea. The Russians held them, prisoner until the Treaty of Brest-Livtosk was signed. Interestingly enough, the Germans liberated them. They left Russia in a warship sent by England to rescue the Dowager Empress.

They lived in an apartment Felix had in London; they had also smuggled out paintings and jewelry. There was a car they had not used in years waiting in a garage in Paris. The couple was extremely generous to the Russian Community and gave a lot to the exiles in need. They eventually bought a mansion in Paris and opened a couture house in Paris, which was very successful for a few years.

Felix and Irina lead an expensive lifestyle, and their couture business went bankrupt (after significant success.) By 1934, as luck would have it, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer released a film named "Rasputin and the Empress." Felix sued the company for slandering Irina and won the lawsuit. He also released two books which did very well.

After this, the coupled lived a quiet life (for them), supporting young artists and attending various functions of the Russian emigre community.

Irina remained close to all her relatives and helped them whenever she could. Her father, Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, died in her arms.

Felix's and Irina's marriage turned out to be a great success. They were married and lived together, supporting and caring for each other for over fifty years. When Felix died in 1967, Irina was grief-stricken. She died three years later.

☾ ° › THE DOORS OF THE WINTER PALACE ARE OPEN

The invitations were sent out quite late, mere month before the actual date. Every accepting RSVP received was a surprise and warranted a bit of respect and appreciation. While the crowd is bigger than anticipated, the halls of the Winter Palace will not struggle to host the grand celebration. After all, it is not every day the czar gets married! 

☾ ° › COME JOIN THE CELEBRATION 

The guests can expect a long, tedious and traditional ceremony. The crowning ceremony, which is the Russian equivalent of the exchange of rings, will take place at the Church of the Savior on Spilt Blood and will include an ektenia, long and numerous prayers, and the exchange of vows. The guests patience will pay off: the reception will be loud, beautiful and showy — it's the handiwork of one Irina Romanova after all. A three-course dinner, lots of dancing, an orchestra... all at the Winter Palace for the guests to enjoy!

nadya romanova, annexei 2022. hope looks okay because i could not see what i was doing. she did not accessorise and would have gone for a less embellished dress, but this is the only one that slipped under irina’s radar that has the kind of neckline she wanted in order to accommodate the only accessory that she did wear: the above-pictured needle necklace, gifted by anya for nadya’s birthday in october.

it is a reference to koschei in russian folklore: the most common feature of tales involving koschei is that he hides his soul inside nested objects to protect it. for example, the soul (or in the tales, it is usually called "death") may be hidden in a needle that is hidden inside an egg, the egg is in a duck, the duck is in a hare, the hare is in a chest —

carrying a soul (or death) around her neck makes her feel good on alexei’s wedding day maybe... or maybe she just knows anya will be upset on this day and subtly did it to endear her, or maybe she just likes the vibe, reasons are unclear.

she did not wear a tiara. her hair was worn down.
