Alexander, Prince of Saxony, Duke of Saxony (German: Alexander Prinz von Sachsen Herzog zu Sachsen; born Alexander Afif on 12 February 1953), is the nephew, adopted son and heir of Maria Emanuel, Margrave of Meissen, and a businessman. Following the death of Maria Emanuel in July 2012 he assumed the headship of the Royal House of Saxony, based on a 1997 agreement that named him heir, but which was repudiated a few years later by a number of signatories. His claim is disputed by his cousin Prince Daniel of Saxony.
