Prince Rostislav Rostislavovich Romanov (born 21 May 1985) is a member of the House of Romanov, the former ruling Russian Imperial dynasty. He is also known by the name "Misha".
Prince Rostislav Rostislavovich was born in Lake Forest, Illinois, the eldest son and second child of Prince Rostislav Rostislavovich and his second wife, Christia Ipsen (b. 1949). He has an older sister, Princess Alexandra (b. 1983), and a younger brother, Prince Nikita (b. 1987). From his father's first marriage to Stephena Verdel Cook, he has an older half-sister, Princess Stephena (b. 1963).
Prince Rostislav belongs to the Mihailovichi branch of the Romanov family as a male line descendant of Grand Duke Michael Nikolaevich of Russia, the youngest son of Emperor Nicholas I. He is also a descendant of Emperors Alexander II and Alexander III, being the great grandson of Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia (sister of the last Emperor Nicholas II) and her husband Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich of Russia. Prince Rostislav has been a member of the Romanov Family Association since 1985 and was a committee member between 2007 and 2013. As a descendant of the Electress Sophia of Hanover, he is also in the line of succession to the British throne.
The Prince lived in Chicago until he was seven years old, when his father moved his family to London. The family then moved to the village of Rye in East Sussex, where he spent his teenage years. Prince Rostislav was educated at Brambletye and Milton Abbey Schools, and at Falmouth University where he read fine art.
