Princess Irina Yusupova,nee Romanova - discussion and pictures

Wow I never seen that picture!

Irina, Andre, and Feodor.

As ever, the infant Feodor looks just like his cousin Marie.

Irina was very like her paternal grandmother, Olga Feodorovna; even her husband commented that she "was the image of her father", causing me to wonder whether Felix fancied Sandro and chose his daughter for that reason....

 Irina looked more like her after the revolution and through exile.

Yes, I often found myself thinking the same when reading Felix's memoirs. Grand Duke Alexander was a very handsome man and it seems possible for Felix to have found Irina more attractive because she resembled her father so. Personally, I have always thought Irina resembled her paternal grandmother, and Aunt Anastasia.

I don´t know if I´m at the right place, but I have seen lots of questions about the Yussupoys at different sites here, and it seems as nobody knows so much about now-living decendants.
I have a friend, living in Mexico City named Nicolás Luis Romanov-Yussupov. I´m not up to date with the Yussupovs but in some way is he a Yussupov. I´ll ask him who his closest ancestors were, and perhaps for some generations back, and hope to be back with informations

Jan,

Princess Zenaida and Prince Felix Youssoupoff had four children, of whom only two survived infancy, Nicholas and Felix. Nicholas was killed in a duel in 1908 without issue, and Felix married Princess Irina Romanova in 1914. They had only one daughter Irina in 1915, who in turn had only one daughter, Xenia Sfiris in 1942.

The only Youssoupoff descendants today are Mrs. Xenia Sfiris , (granddaughter of Felix and Irina Yusupov) her daughter Tatiana Sfiris and granddaughters, Marilia and Yasmine Vamvakidis.

Hope this helps.
