Biography
Lady Buckhurst was born Countess Xenia Nikolaievna Tolstoy-Miloslavsky in 1980 in Yeovil to Count Nikolai Tolstoy and Georgia Brown. Her father is a former prospective parliamentary candidate for the UK Independence Party, Vice President of the Royal Stuart Society, and nominal head of the Tolstoy family. She was educated at Headington School, an all-girls boarding school in Headington, and at Downe House School, an all-girls boarding school in Cold Ash. After graduating, she spent a gap year working with children in Kenya, though she also considered starting an orphanage in Estonia. She then earned a degree from King's College, London.
In September 2009, Lady Buckhurst became engaged to William Sackville, Lord Buckhurst, the heir of William Sackville, 11th Earl De La Warr and a godson of Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon.
