A thread to discuss the news, current events and general chat for  the non-reigning royal families of Germany including those from Prussia, Hannover, Bavaria etc...  :Jen:



Congratulations to Prince Georg Frederich and Princess Sophie to the birth of their four child! I wish them the best with their success.

QuotePrince Georg Friedrich and Princess Sophie of Prussia have recently welcomed their fourth child. Princess Sophie gave birth to a healthy boy in Bremen, where the family live. Both mother and child are said to be in good health.

They also have twin boys, Carl Friedrich Franz Alexander of Prussia and Louis Ferdinand Christian Albrecht of Prussia born on 20 January 2013 and a daughter Emma Marie Charlotte Sophie of Prussia born on 2 April 2015. The new addition to the family is still unnamed.

Prince Georg Friedrich is the current head of the House of Hohenzollern, which ruled the German Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia. He is the great-great-grandson of the last German Emperor, Wilhelm II, who was deposed after the First World War and went into exile in the Netherlands. Georg Friedrich is the only son of Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia (1944-1977) and Countess Donata of Castell-Rüdenhausen (1950-2015). Georg Friedrich went to school in Bremen and Oldenburg and also attend Glenalmond College near Perth, Scotland, where he passed his A-levels. He spent two years volunteering for the Germany army and attended Freiberg University of Mining and Technology. He now works for a company which specialises in helping universities bring their innovations to the public market. He divides his time between living in Bremen and at Hohenzollern Castle.

I like all four of Prince Heinrich's four names. Johann Georg !1528-1598) was a Prince-elector of the Margraviate of Brandenburg and a Duke of Prussia. Truly a historic selection of names.

QuoteHereditary Prince Ernst August of Hanover, eldest son Prince Ernst August of Hanover,  head of the deposed royal House of Hanover and senior male-line descendant of George III of the United Kingdom, is set to marry his Russian fiancee Ekaterina Malysheva in July.

Hanoverian newspaper Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung reports that the hereditary Prince is going to marry his fiancee in the local church, the Marktkerk, which is the oldest of the three medieval churches in the city of Hanover. The party will most likely continue at Castle Marienburg, 20 kilometres south of the city, which is still the private property of the family.

A lot of European royals are expected to attend the wedding. The elder Prince Ernst August is married to Princess Caroline of Monaco, and they have connections to the Greek royal house as his aunt Frederica was Queen of the Hellenes as the wife of Paul of Greece. Through her, they also have Spanish connections.  The House of Hanover provided the Kings of Great Britain until Queen Victoria. Her son Edward VII was the first monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The Kingdom of Hanover passed to Queen Victoria's uncle, the Duke of Cumberland. The current Hanoverians are in line for the succession to the British throne as descendants of Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, Victoria, Princess Royal.

Prince Christian of Hanover weds Alessandra de Osma | Daily Mail Online

QuotePrince Christian of Hanover, 32, the stepson of Princess Caroline of Monaco, tied the knot with fiancee Alessandra de Osma, 25, in a low-key civil ceremony at the Chelsea and Westminster registry office in London on Sunday. 

The couple, who will also marry in a more lavish ceremony in Alessandra's native Peru in March next year, were joined by members of Monaco society for the service, which was followed by a wedding breakfast at the Ritz hotel.

Hereditary Prince Ernst August of Hanover and his wife have first child ? Royal Central

QuoteHereditary Prince Ernst August of Hanover and his wife, Hereditary Princess Ekaterina of Hanover have just become parents for the first time, according to Dana Press. Ekaterina gave birth to a daughter on 22 February 2018. No name has been announced yet.

The couple has been married since July of last year. His father did not attend the wedding; he is reportedly not happy with his son?s choice of a bride. The ceremony was conducted by the mayor of Hanover, Stefan Schostok. The wedding was attended by his step-siblings, family and royals from other deposed monarchies, such as Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia.

That is very sad news indeed! He has been suffering from mental illness for some time. I hope he received the help and treatment he needs.

Ernst August's troubles seem to be never ending. He's estranged from his two sons by his first marriage as well. :no:

I hope he receives the help he needs.  Mental illness is very hard to treat and so hard to live with.

TLLK

Yes Ernst August's long term issues with addiction and mental illness have been so very difficult to watch over the decades.

On Monday, 7 September, several police officers surrounded the hunting lodge of Prince Ernst August in Grunau in the Almtal in Austria. The Prince of Hanover is accused of dangerous threats as well as property damage and coercion, reports the Austrian *Kronen Zeitung* The 66-year-old was therefore provisionally arrested.

I'm afraid Prince Ernst Augustus of Hanover ( snr) has been misbehaving once more. The police were called to his property in the Austrian alps and surrounded the place. They were called following an altercation and possible assault on a member of the Prince's staff.

I hope he hasn't been drinking again, but has certainly gone off the rails. I've always wondered why Caroline of Monaco hasn't divorced E-A in the last few years. There's no chance of a reconciliation, but I suppose her HRH due to the Hanover Union is very important.

Marlene Koenig in Royal Musings (an excellent blog) has a piece here about Prince Ernst August of Hanover, his latest appearance in court in Austria, and its consequences. Quite interesting. It?s not a final judgement but in the interim he has been banned from living at the Granau hunting lodge he has stayed in for years. Apparently EA was outraged at the decision, but as he is a German not an Austrian citizen, and physically assaulted and threatened local police officers after going berserk due to alcohol abuse at the said property, (for which he has been given a form of probation) I don?t see why he should be.

Just scroll down a bit.

@Curryong-Thank you for sharing. I must admit I was briefly distracted by the tiara article!..\

Such a sad and tragic situation for the Hanover family. IMHO EA's long addiction to alcohol has caused significant damage to his physical and mental health.

Blue Clover

Yes, the tiara article caught my attention.

Prince Ernst has battled his demons for years - it is all very sad. "The 67-year-old prince is accused of negligence, "by putting himself in a state of insanity with alcohol and medication," reports the Nachrichten, an Austrian newspaper."
