Xenia Florence Gabriela Sophie Iris, the Princess of Saxony, has broken new ground as the inaugural member of European nobility to appear in Playboy. She believes this move would have garnered the endorsement of her royal forebears.
The German princess graces the March 2024 edition of German Playboy, tastefully presented in a photograph that artistically conceals one side of her body with a white sheet while revealing the other. Further into the feature, she embraces a bold aesthetic, posing topless beside a sumptuous pool, donned in a translucent white skirt adorned with high slits. Another striking image captures her in a white bodysuit, provocatively adjusted to unveil her chest.
In her interview with Playboy Germany, Xenia articulates a message of self-acceptance, emphasizing the inherent beauty in every woman, irrespective of societal or cosmetic standards. Proudly displaying stretch marks, she advocates for body positivity and self-confidence over conforming to transient beauty trends or undergoing cosmetic procedures for others’ satisfaction.
Xenia, a familiar face on reality television and the star of “B:Real – Real Celebrities, Real Life,” discusses the challenges of navigating prejudice linked to her noble heritage and physical appearance. She recounts experiences on reality shows where she was often the only participant without cosmetic enhancements, facing derogatory remarks from others who deemed her less competitive due to her natural figure.
Despite the negativity, Xenia resisted the pressure to alter her appearance surgically, striving instead to redefine reality TV by showcasing authenticity and revealing her true self to the audience.
Her lineage, tracing back to Frederick Augustus III, the last king of Saxony, has not been without controversy. Maria Emanuel, Margrave of Meissen, publicly disputed Xenia’s claim to princess status, criticizing her for attempting to publish a biography, which he deemed inappropriate for someone of her standing. Despite this, Xenia maintains that her regal ancestor would have appreciated her Playboy appearance, characterizing him as possessing a sense of humour and affection that would align with her groundbreaking photoshoot.
The March issue of Playboy Germany, featuring Xenia, is now available online and in retail outlets. Exclusive photographs are also on the Playboy website.
Xenia concludes her sentiments by expressing contentment with her well-being and health, valuing functional physicality over aesthetic appeal and asserting that her self-esteem is not contingent upon her looks.
