Ain't no 'E', Nige....it's Duchess Xenia....like xray, xylophone and xylotypography.. (pinting using wooden blocks)...but as a journalist, you would know the last word..!

...xylo from Greek meaning 'wood' or 'related to wood'...
For example, the children's puppets of yesteryear, The Woodentops' could be renamed 'The Xylotops'...good, eh, young Nige..

....ps..the Grand Duchess Xenia was not made from wood!
