Prince Vladimir Paley (1897-1918) , one of the Alapaevsk Martyrs (canonized 1981), who died for love and devotion at a time when the world was filled with hatred and distrust.
Although the morganatic marriage of his parents prevented him from being considered an official member of the Romanov family, he was, nevertheless, royal as any royal can be.
What shines brighter than his many talents is his nobility of heart, animated not by vanity or glory, but by simple faith and righteous principles.
R.I.P Vladimir

***** Additional info: Did they ever find his body?
@sakuraJ789 The Russian cemetary where Vladimir was buried was destroyed in 1986/87, the Church itself destroyed during the cultural revolution.
A non-church sanctioned attempt has been made to recover their bodies, but the tombs were never found, they only discovered the copper plate on the coffin of Grand Duke Serge Mikhailovich (not to be confused with Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovich, who is the husband of Saint and Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth "Ella")
Even the exact location of the tombs are disputed, while some maintain that the site is today a park, others believe that it is instead within the grounds of modern day Russian Embassy. I think I have also heard somewhere that Princess Paley gave specific instructions regarding Vladimir's burial which could mean that he was buried apart from the others.
The White Army found his body in Alapaevsk, the monk Seraphim escorted them to China via Siberia, but now we do not know exactly where his earthly remains rest.
Wherever he is, may he rest in peace.
