For the first time, a descendant of the royal family has just posed almost entirely naked on the cover of a famous charm magazine. And she says her ancestors would have approved of her decision.
It’s an unexpected cover to say the least. While princes and princesses around the world are accustomed to remaining discreet about their privacy, Xenia of Saxony just made an exception to the rule. The great-great-granddaughter of Friederich August III, last king of Saxony, Germany, became the first aristocrat to pose for a charm magazine. It’s on the front page of the very famous Playboy that Xenia Florence Gabriela Sophie Iris was immortalized topless, hidden only by a strategically placed white sheet. Xenia from Saxony took advantage of this media spotlight to speak out. “Every woman is beautiful just the way she is. You don’t have to conform to trends or have surgery just to please someone. I have stretch marks and I’m proud to show them off,” she explained.
German singer and reality TV star, the self-proclaimed princess also claimed that her great-great-grandfather, who had “a lot of humor”would have approved of this cover.
Crowned heads and distinguished fashionistas
In recent years, a new generation of crowned heads has emerged. Very invested in fashion, these style princesses walk the runways and are dressed by the biggest fashion houses. Model in her spare time, the daughter of Clotilde Courau, Victoria of Savoy, is regularly seen in the front rows of Valentino, Dior or Michael Kors shows. The sisters Maria Chiara and Maria Carolina de Bourbon des Deux-Siciles are also informed aesthetes. Graduates of a fashion school, the two sisters even paraded for the Pierre Cardin label during spring-summer 2024 fashion week in Paris. For his part, Charlotte Casiraghi became a muse Chanel in December 2020. Four years later, she is still at all of the brand’s events, dressed in outfits, each more elegant than the last.
