This princess isn’t worried about a royal scandal.
Xenia Florence Gabriela Sophie Iris, the Princess of Saxony, made history on Wednesday as the first aristocrat to pose forPlayboy.(Warning: the following hyperlink leads to a story containing NSFW images; blurred images follow.)
The 37-year-old royal and reality star strips down for the cover ofGermanPlayboy’s March 2024 issue— and the inside magazine spread is as racy as it gets, featuring topless photos of the aristocrat, who wears nothing but a bed sheet strategically placed over her body.
Xenia wears a white bathing suit with the top pulled down and the crotch clasps undone. She also poses poolside topless, the only article of clothing on the model being a sheer skirt with waist-high slits. Her wavy auburn hair is pushed to the side for a bombshell effect.
In her cover story, she said she’d be “surprised” if her family members picked up a copy of herPlayboyissue in support, but she hopes that “they at least tolerate it.”She also notes that noble ancestors, including great-great-great-grandfather and the last King of Saxony, Friedrich August III, “would have definitely approved” of her latest gig.

“You don’t have to conform to trends or have surgery on your body just to please someone,” the socialite said in herPlayboycover story. “I have stretch marks and I’m proud to show them."
She also got real about some of the body-related “prejudices” she’s experienced from her time on television.
