Prince Felix Youssoupov was heir to the richest fortune in Russia, and husband to Princess Irina Romanov.

Using recently unearthed sources, this book explores the story of this colourful pair, shedding new light on their lives.
New B-format paperback - Alexander III called Victoria 'a pampered, sentimental, selfish old woman,' while to her he was a sovereign whom she could not regard as a gentleman. But the Queen's son and two of her granddaughters married Romanovs.
Mathilde Kschessinska (1872-1971) was the mistress of three Russian Grand Dukes and the greatest ballerina of her generation. She is in almost every book about the Romanovs, but so many myths surround her that she has become the stuff of legend. After her own memoirs, this title aims to reveal the real story by looking at what she did not say.
