[lesyoussoupoff]

"Physically be was tall, goodlooking and slim with dark eyes and black hair. Although he grew heavier with age, he never lost his fine bearing. He had more common sense than real intelligence, and his inferiors and subordinates loved him for his kindness." -Prince Felix Youssoupoff, Lost Splendor

The Russian Prince Felix Felixovich Yusupov, Count Sumarokov-Elston. (1887-1967).

Irina Aleksandrovna Romanova's husband, who was Tsar Nicholas II's niece. Also Rasputin's murderer.

An incredibly attractive and handsome man. He is described as charming, chivalrous, charismatic and so handsome. 

I investigated about him because of Rasputin, but when I saw photos of the Russian prince, well...I can't tell I didn't find him attractive. I wish I could have met him :_(

He was a complete gentleman.
