German Princess Becomes First Aristocrat To Pose Naked On Playboy Cover
A German princess, Xenia of Saxony, has made history by being the first royal to pose nude for Playboy. At 37, she links herself to the ancient House of Wettin and expects disapproval from her relatives.
Featured topless in the local Playboy edition, Princess Xenia aims to promote natural beauty. She believes her ancestor, Friedrich August III, the last Saxon king, would have supported her choice.
The princess regards her lineage as initially burdensome but now values it for the opportunities it presents, like participating in reality TV shows to illustrate her authenticity to audiences.
Though she embraced her background in a 2011 biography, the head of the Wettin dynasty dismissed her claim. Xenia remains undeterred, hoping her family will at least accept her latest venture.
