[ANDREW (1897-1901, Grandson of Tsar Alexander III and Empress Marie, Prince of the Romanoffs, son of Grand Duchess Xenia and Grand Duke Alexandra) and his wife (Elisabetta di Sasso Ruffo, 1887-1940, daughter of an Aristocratic family who he met during his imprisonment and she died in the Blitz at Hampton Court in 1940)

Fine unsigned formal portrait photo of the couple in London, showing them standing together,half length, looking straight at the camera in outdoor clothes but she has several strings of pearls, 4" x 4" in mount 10" x 7¼", London, no date but circa

Very unusual to find a portrait photo of the Prince with his first wife as they both retired from public life and lived quietly with his mother Grand Duchess Xenia at Hampton Court. The Princess was ill for many years which is why she was not seen in society. She died in the Blitz but actually already had cancer.
