[ANDREW (1897-1981, Grandson of Tsar Alexander III and Empress Marie, Prince of the Romanoffs, son of Grand Duchess Xenia and Grand Duke Alexander) and his daughter Princess Xenia (1919-2000, Princess of Russia]

Unusual private unsigned original snapshot photo of the Prince with his daughter sitting together on a balcony with rooftops in the background, probably in Cannes, 3½" x 2½", no place, no date, circa

Xenia was conceived by Prince Andrew and his future wife Elizabeth, out of wedlock, they were forced to marry by her parents while they were being held prisoner in the Crimea by the Bolsheviks. The Dowager Empress did attend but was horrified as the Prince was only 21.
Andrew spent the war in London and Scotland and Xenia was in Paris so it was probably taken in France in the late 1930's.
