Chantal Hochuli, formerly The Princess of Hanover

[NotAPretender]

Has she reverted fully to her maiden name, or does she use her present title and style of Chantal, Princess of Hanover? I see her identified as Chantal Hochuli in the press, but of course that means nothing, as the press regularly misidentifies names, titles, and styles.

ETA: Her (former?) boyfriend, Prince Alessandro Ruffo Di Calabria, is also the nephew of Queen Paola of Belgium as well as being the former husband Malfalda. I seem to remember there being some other personage that he dated, the sister of a female royal. Perhaps Marie-Chantal of Greece, or perhaps C.P. Mathilde. My memory could be foggy on that, though.

Some woman even after they divorce their husbands still go by her former married name or possiblty go to a lower style if a title is involuved but not in this sense.Chantal is still being social and going to events with nobles and having fun which is great.

[JustMe67]

In Germany her name is still Chantal Prinzessin von Hannover and the name of her former husband is Ernst-August Prinz von Hannover.
Note: Not Prince Ernst-August von Hannover

In Germany titles belong to the name since 1918-1919, when nobility lost their rights and titles. Former titles became part of the names.
After a divorce, the last names therefore stay the same, unless one chooses to take back her maiden name which she obviously didn't do as the mother of the future head of the house von Hannover. So therefore she is a Princess like Caroline, no more and no less!

Your explanation is ok for english nobility rules, but not for german nobility.

A very good friend of mine had the great fortune to meet Chantal in London recently, he was suitably impressed and somewhat smitten. Still a fabulously good looking woman and extremely memorable by all accounts.

Wonder if she knows Andrea Dellal is the mother and Tyrone Wood the best friend of Alex Dellal, who is the boyfriend of Charlotte Casiraghi, Caroline of Hanover's daughter. I mean, not that that should stop her or anything, but that's quite an interesting and ironic connection to me.

I agree with you.I'm sure she knows but i don't think that she really cares.If she decided to avoid every single person that has to do with the Casiraghis and even more with Monaco's Princely Family she should exclude many mutual friends because i believe that she,Ernst and Caroline have pretty much the same social circle.

There is an old English saying: kippers go in pairs. Isn't there more interesting topics to discuss other than the bed hopping of also rans?

Chantal Hochuli attended the launch of the Louis Vuitton Bond Street
Maison on May 25, 2010 in London, England. Great look, the colours,
the cut and the combination looked great in my eyes!

Chantal looks wonderful. She even looks a little better than Princess Caroline, but Caroline still has Ernst-August so that's why she doesn't look as well as Chantal.

[Kastalia]

^Caroline and Ernst live separately the last months so i think that she won't have him for long..Chantal looked great,i liked her green dress a lot.

It is a small world

Andrea Dellal is non other than the mother of Charlotte's Casiraghi creepy boyfriend.

Yes, the relationship is mentioned by Kells just a few posts previously.
