[edit] Biography

Prince Nugzar is the son of Prince Petre Bagration-Gruzinski of Georgia (1920-1984), a prominent poet and claimant to the Headship of the Royal House of Georgia from 1939 to 1984 and his second wife Liya Mgeladze (b. August 8, 1926). Prince Nugzar is the director of the Tbilisi theatre of cinema artists.

On 18 December 2007 Nugzar met with Kristiina Ojuland, the Vice-President of the Riigikogu (the parliament of Estonia) at the Mariott-Tbilisi hotel in which Ojuland "paid homage to the Bagrationi dynasty who has made an extraordinary contribution to the upholding of Georgia".[2] [3]

Currently, Prince Nugzar is the senior descendent in the male line of George XII, the last King of Georgia. Historian Raul Chagunava who has researched the Bagrationi family believes Bagration-Gruzinsky is the rightful heir to the throne. Nino Bagrationi a 90-year-old direct descendant of Solomon II also recognizes the claim of Bagration-Gruzinsky.[4] After Nugzar the next senior descendant in the male line is Prince Peter Bagration-Gruzinsky (b. 1916) followed by his son Prince Eugene (b. 1947).

[edit] Family

Nugzar was married to Leila Kipiani (b. Tbilisi July 16, 1947) on February 10, 1971 and they have two daughters:

  • Princess Anna of Georgia b. Tbilisi November 1, 1976
