The pictures were taken on the tenth day of Prince Alexander's life. The prince was born at Moscow Central Clinical Hospital on 21 October 2022. He is the first Romanoff to be born in the Russia in over a century, since the time of the Russian Empire, in fact.

Konstantin Gribov, a photographer for the Russian Imperial Chancellery, captured the sweet images of the family at their home in Moscow.

A well-deserved yawn - it is tough being a baby! - from the little prince.

Grand Duke George and Princess Victoria chose to name their son in honour of Saint Alexander Nevsky.

Prince Alexander is the first grandchild of Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna, the Head of the Russian Imperial House. The proud grandmother was the person who announced his birth to the world.

Home at last.

This post only contains the images that were kindly shared with me by the prince's parents. For more pictures from the photoshoot, please visit these links:
