Alexander Prinz von Sachsen (born Alexander Afif on 12 February 1953; legally Alexander von Sachsen-Gessaphe, sometimes referred to as Alexander Prinz von Sachsen Herzog zu Sachsen) is a German businessman and the nephew, adopted son and heir of Maria Emanuel, Margrave of Meissen. Following the death of Maria Emanuel in July 2012 he assumed the headship of the 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 Daniel von Sachsen.
