Who is Princess Xenia of Saxony?
Xenia Florence Gabriela Sophie Iris
, 37, was born in Düsseldorf, Germany, and comes from the
House of Wettin
, which ruled the territory of what is now the federal state of Saxony for more than 800 years.
She became physically aware - she says in Playboy - when at the age of ten she was diagnosed with a bone tumor in her skull, which could only be removed six years later.
And she is not an ordinary princess, although she does carry out tasks linked to her social role, such as
charity work
.
“I am a person who likes to give.
So if it were up for debate, I think I'd make a good queen too.
“I am very fair and upright.”
In order to fight against stereotypes of royal women, the woman participated in several reality TV shows.
So much so that today she is part of the RTL2 series “
B:Real – Real Celebrities, Real Life
”.

"I see myself more as a kind of spy: I want to bring reality back to reality TV and at the same time show people who I really am," he said in the Playboy interview.
In addition, Xenia formed a pop band and wrote an autobiography (“Xenia: the life of a princess in the 21st century”) where she revealed intimate details of her life that her family did not like.
The autobiography infuriated the Wettin boss, who said in an interview with Bild that Xenia was “nothing” and having an autobiography is a “terrible derailment” and “a disaster” for the house.
The princess is 37 years old and shines in her country's reality shows.

The disappearance of the kingdom of Saxony
Ajonia is one of the 16 federal states of Germany, whose name found its origin in the Weimar Republic.
It has a border with the Czech Republic (south) and Poland (east).
First it was a duchy, then an electorate of the German Roman Empire and finally, a kingdom.
It was in 1918, with the defeat of Germany in the First World War, when the monarchy completely disappeared.
Xenia wrote an autobiography that angered the royal house she comes from.
