Jo,
Prince Ferfried is indeed a member of a recognised branch of the Hohenzollern family, the (Catholic) Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family (who eventually ruled Romania). His mother was a member of the Royal House of Saxony.
Warren's post was addressing now removed remarks, which were irrelevant.

Thank you, Landsmann (my mother's from Silesia, too, she came over to Palatine (the former Palatinate) at the end of the war :) ).

Okay, the information about his mother explains the repeated info in German newspapers about Ferfried being a grandson of the last king of Saxony.

Two of the daughters of King Friedrich August III (1865-1932), the last King of Saxony, married Hohenzollern brothers:

• Princess Margrete (1900-1962) married 1920 Friedrich, Fürst von Hohenzollern, and are the parents of Prince Ferfried;

• Princess Maria Alix (1901-1990) married 1921 Prince Franz Josef von Hohenzollern (from 1933 Hohenzollern-Emden), and has the distinction of being the last surviving daughter of a German King.

You're welcome. Yes, most of my Silesian family headed, remaining about 50km ahead of the Russians, before the family ended up in Schleswig-Holstein.

Yes, it's sometimes rather difficult to keep track of the Hohenzollern family members, with 3 branches (1 extinct), and quite diverse dispersal since the end of the monarchy, they end up all over the place.

Plastic princess is royal disgrace
European royalty shun silicone widow's TV wedding to German prince

May 28, 2006
ON the surface, it has all the hallmarks of a fairy-tale wedding - a former receptionist charms a German prince, they fall in love, and will be married in a lavish ceremony.Prince Ferfried von Hohenzollern, 63, a descendant of the Kaiser, is scheduled to exchange vows with his surgically-enhanced sweetheart Tatjana Gsell on Monday.
Prince Ferfried has four children by his previous marriages.

Princess Xenia of Saxony, 19, who will also skip the wedding, said: 'I do hope that Ferfried does not experience a similar fate to that of Franz Gsell.'

hmmm...this is marrying a von Preussen? maybe i have a chance (i'm not quite as sleazy and flaky and I don't speak German with the accent of a 2-yr-old)!


Although Georg Friedrich isn't under any kind of compulsion to marry noble - do any of you think he will marry noble or common (like some of the other families)??

Princess Maja is being interviewed, she is active in animal welfare and explains about that:

In addition a few days before they gave an interview in a Vienna hotel that was very typical for them.
On top af that they wanted to marry this year in May but it isn't possible because the divorce of Maja and Ferfried didn't take place yet. They say that it would be in September.
Here some pics from getty images of the interview and from the Opera Ball.

I accidentally bumped into this thread and find it very amusing. I will continue reading to find out more. However I had to stop and say thank you for posting these photos.

Sorry but if this lady is 34 then I am 12...........and she prepared him breakfast too!!!!!!!!!! What a lucky man!!! LOL

Prince Ferfied of Hohenzollern has difficulties to fulfill the sentense that he got a few months ago. He can not afford to pay the money for a ticket from London to Berlin, he can not pay the 3500 euros fine. He was also sentenced to 150 hours of community duty but he says he wrote 150 applications but was refused all the time.

Newspaper Berliner Kurier however asked around and found several associations that were willing to accept him. The salvation army for example or reading to children in a library.

Odette my dear she maybe prepare him a breakfast but is it for people? After so many (probably) plastic surgerys how she can look?
She treat him like a baby.

I ever have disliked Tatjana Gsell. She seems to be not intelligent, only has money or glamour in her brain (that makes her silly) and is a person that loves herself mostly.

I have no clue but wife #4 is only 34 so she may be too young to have children
