3 unusual facts about Audrey Emery


Audrey Emery

Grand Duke Cyril Vladimirovich of Russia, Dmitri's cousin, elevated Audrey to Russian rank of knyaginya (noble, not dynastic) with the usual name Romanovsky and granted her the suffix, Ilyinsky, from Dmitri's former property in Russia.

She had two sisters, Alexandra (Mrs. Benjamin Moore and Mrs. Robert Gordon McKay) and Lela (Mrs. Alastair Mackintosh and Duchess of Talleyrand), and two brothers, Thomas Emery and John Josiah Emery, Jr. (who married Irene Gibson Post, the daughter of the artist Charles Dana Gibson).

In 1928, she gave birth to her only child, Prince Paul Romanoff-Ilyinsky.
