You will have to provide more information.
The Kaiser, Wilhelm II, was the last German Emperor and King of Prussia. His eldest son was Crown Prince Wilhelm. His eldest son predeceased his father in 1940, and had two daughters. Crown Prince Wilhelm's second son was Prince Louis Ferdinand, Head of the Imperial and Royal House of Prussia. His two eldest sons renounced their rights on their unequal marriages. Louis Ferdinand's third son, also named Prince Louis Ferdinand, died tragically in an accident during army manoeuvres in 1977. His only son, Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia, b 1976 is the current Head of the House and de juré King of Prussia.

Where is the Australian connection? And how can this person be the "official" King of Prussia when Georg Friedrich is the acknowledged and undisputed Head of the Hohenzollerns?

Former Prussian royal families, I havent heard anything new about Prince Georg Friedrich. I also wanted to know if there was any news on the Hohenlohe-Oehringen family. I have also looked online and tried to find online magazines or newspapers about these 2 families, but can't seem to find anything on either. If someone would be kind to post links to magazines and newspapers where I could find regular information and newer pics on these 2 families, it would be greated appreciated. Thanks!

What is the current status of Cornelie-Cecile's disabilities? Where does she live and what does she do?

According to Netty:
Cornelie Cécile is, to quote Marlene Eilers Koenig 'Severely retarded'. Sam Dotson once described it like this (well he is a doctor): 'became neurologically handicapped as the result of a perinatal infection, encephalitis caused by cytorhegalovinus'.

I assume that'd be cytomagalovirus. Not a pleasant critter.

Isn't one of our swedish princesses married to a prince of Hohenzollern?

Yes, Princess Birgitta is married to HSH Prince Johann Georg of Hohenzollern (a brother of the current Head of the Princely branch of the Hohenzollerns).
He is/was the Keeper of the Bavarian State Picture Gallery in Munich.

[Furienna]

I just thought so. Birgitta is one of our king's four elder sisters and the only one of the five siblings to marry another royality.

For goodness sake, this kind of malicious and intentional misinformation has gone too far. Sorry Ken, but game over. It's quite alright to be making a quick joke and then come clean and admit that it was such, but for the less critical members of the Royal Forums, who absorb an awful lot of information, you are misleading them entirely.
Warren is totally correct when saying you can't 'abolish' a family or Imperial and Royal House, it's simply ludicrous and beyond the power of legitimate heads of Royal Houses.
While I openly favour the establishment of a Constitutional Monarchy in Germany and the return of the Imperial and Royal House of Hohenzollern and the other German Royal, Ducal and Princely Houses, it is something quite unlikely due to the political stability the Bundesrepublik enjoys. However, the high regard in which the Wittlesbach family is held by Bavarians, and others around the world is certainly something to consider when thinking of how Germany would react to a proposal of restoration.

But, 'the people' (of whom you speak when you say they are 'satisfied'), would recognise the legitimate head of the Imperial and Royal House of Hohenzollern as just that - legitimate. Not only would the public acknowledge HIRH Prince Georg Friedrich as such, but the wealth of academics, royal scholars and related Royal families. They would never be 'satisfied' with the bogus originator of an image superimposed within a frame, who declares they enjoy Canadian citizenship.

Please, become a productive member of this site and contribute the acutal information researched and documented, or cease posting the highly misleading and false information altogether.

To the Administrator, Moderators and fellow TRF members, I apologise for the confrontation, but feel this has just gone too far.

Not only that but San Souci Palace is a museum and almost empty of furnishings.

Is Prince Georgii Mikhailovich Romanov not the closet heir to the non-ruling Prussian throne? After all, his biological father is Louis Ferdinand Oskar Christian Princ of Prussia. Louis Ferdinand has been the Head of the House of Hohenzollern since 1994. If anyone can answer this question please feel free to send me the answer by way of e-mail.

Sorry, but way off. The current Head of the Hohenzollerns is Prince Georg Friedrich, the son of Prince Louis Ferdinand who was killed in an accident during army manoeuvres in 1977, and grandson of Prince Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia (1907-1994).

Grand Duke Georgi (aka Prince Georg of Prussia) is at the tail end of the male descendents of Kaiser Wilhelm II. His father, Prince Franz Wilhelm, is the grandson of the Kaiser's youngest son Prince Joachim, who shot himself in 1920.

I think it is funny now more than ever because we are seeing that democracy and republicanism are as flawed as monarchism (when they were supposed to be the answers)! I am curious, the world being how it is, what the popular style of government will be in the future? Politics is like fashion - the style changes with the times and with attitudes.


You can view the Vanity Fair article I scanned at this link:

It's very large! You can enjoy reading it, too

I dont know if this has been posted, but the grandmother of Prince George Friedrich, Furstin Irene Castell-Rudenhausen passed away on December 16. Here is a link to the Preussen website where the announcement was posted:

Paul Duke of Oldenburg, a full cousin of Prince Georg Friedrich (his mother princess Cecile and Prince Georg Friedrich's father were brother and sister) became Roman Catholic, married a spanish lady Pilar Mendez de Vigo, and just got his first daughter and fourth child last week.
