H.M. Reine Emilienne de Tauride, whose real name is Emilienne Andrée-Laure-Eudoxie-Diane-Fabienne-Patricia Leféru de la Levrette, was born on December 15, 1984 in the small village of La Levrette, in the Eure-et-Cher region of central France.
She was the daughter of Savignan Louis-Henri-Maximilien Leféru de La Levrette, baron de La Levrette, and Constance de Beauverny.
The de La Levrette family has been established in France since the 16th century: Emilienne’s ancestor, Féry Leféru, was squire to the Duc de Joyeuse when he joined the circle of Henri III’s mignons, and the king ennobled him in 1589.
Féry Leféru became Baron de La Levrette, and his descendants are related to the Marquis de La Fayette and the Duc de St Simon.
After an uneventful childhood and an effortless literary baccalaureate, Emilienne entered the prestigious University of Harvart*, where she graduated with honors in Manchu poetry.
Returning to her native village to help her father run the family chateau, now a luxury hotel, she hosts weekly karaoke evenings for the wealthy guests who appreciate the splendor and calm of this historic residence.
It was during one of these evenings, in June 2007, that the young Emilienne met an extraordinary guest, the King of Tauride Nicolas III Ramonov. The foreign sovereign immediately fell under the heady spell of the young Frenchwoman, and this date marked the beginning of an incredible fairy tale for Emilienne.
*Harvart University is located in the Limousin region between Rochechouart and Mortemart.
