Born on 8 December 1961 at St. Gallen, Switzerland, Prince Hans-Georg "George" Yourievsky was the only child of Prince Alexander Yourievsky (1900-1988) and his wife Princess Ursula (1925-2001; née Beer de Grüneck), who wed in 1957. Prince George's paternal grandparents were Prince George Yourievsky (1872-1913), the son of Emperor Alexander II of Russia and his morganatic second wife Princess Catherine Dolgoruky, and Countess Alexandra von Zarnekau (1883-1957), the daughter of Duke Constantine Petrovich of Oldenburg and his morganatic wife Agrippina Constantinovna Japaridze. Prince George Yourievsky is a descendant several times over of Emperor Paul I of Russia, not only through his paternal grandfather, but also through his paternal grandmother.
