Princess Tatiana (who iskeeping her royal titlefollowing the divorce) kicked off 2025 with a social media post about “looking towards the light” as the new year began.
“As the New Year begins, I wish for us all to welcome more light into our lives. To live purposefully, peacefully, and passionately — understanding that even in the darkest moments, we can be the light for others, just as others have been for us,” Tatiana wrote onInstagramon Jan. 6.
“Last year was a year of transformation for me, filled with changes that challenged me to grow, to learn and to rebuild a life that truly reflects who I am. There were times I felt caught between identities, navigating a limbo of self-discovery. Yet, in those moments, I found clarity. By embracing my true self, I uncovered a new strength,” she said.
