Family

Alexi Lubomirski is the son of Władysław Jan Adam Lubomirski and his first wife, Eileen Pamela Beardsell, an Englishwoman of Peruvian descent.[6] The Lubomirski family was once one of the most prominent noble families in Poland and Lithuania. The Lubomirskis used princely titles since Stanisław Lubomirski was created an honorary Prince of the Holy Roman Empire in 1647. The rights to the title were formally recognised in Poland in 1682, and again granted in 1824 in the Russia-ruled Congress Poland. In 1905, 11 males of the Lubomirski family were granted the style of Serene Highness in Austria. However, both nobility and usage of noble styles and titles are now abolished in Poland, Russia and Austria. Alexi Lubomirski is married to Giada Lubomirski and has two sons.[4] They reside in New York.[2]
