Just found in my "photocopies" collection.

That last photo is quite striking.

Goodness, she certainly was very chic as well as beautiful.  Mrs Leeds - was she married to William B.Leeds, a millionaire?

[Val289]

Yes, she was married to William B. Leeds from 1921 - 1930  .....and I have to agree, she certainly was very chic and beautiful!

[Martyn]

Thanks for that information Val.  How did she and William meet?  Does anyone have any pictures of them together?

[Maria_Pavlovna]

William was the son of Nancy Leeds ( who became "Princess Anastasia of Greece" )who married Xenia's uncle Christo.

So Xenia married her step-cousin..

Does anyone know where is Ksenia Georgievna buried?  I know that she died (and may have been buried) in Glen Cove.

Thanks in advance

That sounds complicated ( in the best tradition)!  Was it Xenia who entertained Anna Anderson in America?

[Val289]

Hi Martyn  Yes, it was Xenia who had Anna Anderson as her guest at her home in New York .

The Camera of the Tsars said Xenia and Willliam's marriage turned out pretty badly.  

But I read somewhere that they were the model husband-wife until Xenia hosted AA.  

So, which one is true?

I have sort of heard that before.  What exactly was it then that caused the problem between Xenia and William in relation to AA?

I guess money was probably one of the reasons.  But maybe also b/c of AA's strange behavior and Xenia over-supporting AA?
