Anastasiya Ivanovna, Hereditary Princess of Hesse-Homburg and Princess Trubetskaya (Russian: Анастасия Трубецкая; 1700-1755), was a Russian Imperial noblewoman, courtier, Princess of Moldavia and Landgravine of Hesse-Homburg. She was also an honorary member of the Imperial Russian family.

Life

Born into the House of Trubetskoy, she was the daughter of Prince Ivan Trubetskoy (1667—1750) and his wife, Irina Grigoryevna Naryshkina (1671—1749). Her cousin was Prince Nikita Trubetskoy. She was married to Prince Dimitrie Cantemir in 1717, member of the powerful Moldavian House of Cantemir. By him she had a daughter Smaragda Catarina (1720–1761), reckoned one of the great beauties of her time, who married Prince Dmitriy Mikhailovich Golitsyn and was a friend of empress Elizabeth.

In 1738 she married for the second time to Hereditary Prince Ludwig Gruno of Hesse-Homburg, a German prince from the House of Hesse in Russian service.

Both during her first and second marriage, she belonged to the leading members of the Russian Imperial court and aristocratic life, and often hosted the monarchs as guests in her home. As both times being married to a foreign royal, she held the rank of foreign princess in the ceremonial court protocol, ranked first after the members of the Imperial family and played a visible and public role in court life.

She was also appointed Dame of the Order of Saint Catherine and lady in waiting to Empress Elizabeth. She left for Germany in 1745, and did not return until 1751, after which she became a noted philanthropist.

Anastasiya died in St. Petersburg on November 27, 1755 and was buried in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, in the Church of the Annunciation.
