Princess Kristine de Bagration-Mukhrani (née Kristine Dzidziguri; 20 September 1989) is a Georgian sociologist, fashion model, and former beauty pageant contestant. She is a member of the House of Mukhrani, a branch of the Bagrationi dynasty, through her marriage to Prince Juan de Bagration-Mukhrani.
Early life
Princess Kristine was born on 20 September 1989 in Tbilisi, Georgia.[1]
Education and career
She studied French culture and civilization at the Sorbonne before returning to Tbilisi to study sociology.[2][3]
In 2008 she was awarded the title of Vice Miss Georgia.[4] She was first-runner up at the 2010 Miss Georgia contest.[5] After Miss Georgia she competed in the Miss Tourism International pageant.[6] She is one of the highest paid models in Georgia, signed with City Models, and has frequently posed for Christian Dior.[7][8][2]
Personal life
In 2014 she met Prince Juan de Bagration-Mukhrani, a member of the House of Mukhrani, a branch of the Bagrationi dynasty[9] which formally ruled Georgia until it was conquered by the Russian Empire.[7] They were married in a civil ceremony on 10 May 2014 in Ronda, Spain.[4] They began planning a religious ceremony, but were delayed due to a halt in political and social negotiations[10] and because of Prince Juan's father, Prince Bagrat de Bagration y de Baviera,'s declining health. His father died on 20 March 2017, and the couple decided to allow a one-year mourning period before organizing the wedding. On 3 June 2018 they married in a Georgian Orthodox ceremony at Svetitskhoveli Cathedral. The day before the wedding, they had received a blessing from Ilia II of Georgia, the Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia. A reception was held at the Palace of Mukhrani.[7]
After their wedding the couple honeymooned in Indonesia, where they attended the Tomohon International Flower Festival.[11][12] While in Indonesia they also made an official visit to the Agung Rai Museum of Art.[13][14]
