Discussions about the Imperial Family and European Royalty > The Yussupovs
Countess Irina Sheremeteva (Bebe,daughter of Felix) and her descendants
AkshayChavan:
Can anyone please provide me with some information on Nicholas Sheremetiev ? It must have been a great match, scions of 2 wealthiest families of russia. What did he do for a living?
Annie:
Actually, it was a terrible match, from what I hear Felix was NOT happy with the match. Sheremetiev was some 11 years older than precious Bebe', and he had had TB for some time and at the time it wasn't sure if he would be completely cured. After he was declared cured, they were married in 1938, she a sweet young thing of 23 and he a man of 34. They had only one child, a daughter. Shemeretiev is buried with Bebe, but also with Irina, Felix and Zenaida, in the same tomb in Paris.
I really don't think the Yussoupov family was happy with the match at all. If Greg King can elaborate with more information that would be great, it was in his book I first read of Felix's displeasure with the match.

Does anyone know if Bebe grew up resenting her mother or father? I mean being raised by your grandmother is to some extant a form of rejection or at least that is how I would feel at such a young age.

Hello to everyone,
Thanks to Rob and my French friends, I have bought the French version of Lost Splendor simply called "Mémoires" and I am happy to tell you all that Felix and Irina have a great great grand daughter called Marilia Giamakoupoulos, daughter of Tatiana Styris and Alexis Giamakoupoulos and grand daughter of Countess Xenia Cheremeteff, herself daughter of Princess Irina Felixovna Yussupova.
So the line is not finished as yet. I will try to scan the picture for you. She is represented as a baby with grannie Xenia Chermeteff.
Love to all,
Steph

Dear Sandy,
I am happy to tell that the line has not yet died out. There is a great great grand daughter of Felix called Marilia Giamakoupoulos represented as a baby with her grannie countess Xenia Cheremeteff. I will try to scan the picture for you but I am not very good at it.
Love to you all,
Steph
