Thank you so much for the information Warren and Jo! I'll definitely look up all of your suggestions. In that family tree you gave me Jo of Palestine, I found my father, even though my mother, siblings, and I are not listed on it. That was sort of a jolt of the heart to see.

If your mother has been legally married to your father and you and your siblings were born during that marriage, then you should check first this databasis: WW-Person as this is quite informative on the Hessens.
If you find your father, but no information is given about his family, you should write to the Head of the House and ask to be included in the family tree and ask which documents are necessary for this. Most data bases take the Genealogische Handbuch des Adels (GHdA) - today's Gotha - as their basis and IIRC it's the job of the Head of the House to see to it that the family trees printed there are correct and complete. Maybe you find your father through´this again.

The correct title is Prince von Hanau und zu Horowitz, Count von Schaumburg, originally a morganatic branch of the House of Hesse (Electoral Line of Kassel).
The current 7th Fürst von Hanau, Prince Philipp, has a son Tassilo, Erbprinz von Hanau (born 1987) who may fit the bill.

a showgirl of brazilian origin who became known on italian TV: with her, the austro-german gotha has, for the moment, lost very much in terms of sensuality but very little in terms of aristocratic allure

I know that Landgrave Philipp and his siblings and parents were Lutheran, but I don't know the religion of his children...
I NOSTRI AVI • Leggi argomento - Maurizio d'Assia figlio di Mafalda di Savoia In this site is reported that Countess Elisabeth von Oppersdorf, the daughter of Philipp and Mafalda, is Catholic. So, maybe also his brother is...

What do you mean with "mediatic"? If you mean "mediatized", they aren't.

The mother of Princess Michael of Kent (née Baroness Reibnitz) was Mária Szapáry, a Hungarian countess. Princess Irina von Hesse's mother is Yvonne Szapáry. I read in an article that Princess M of K and Princess Irina are cousins, but I can't seem to be able to thread this relation on the net. Mária Szapáry's father, Frigyes Szapáry had three other siblings, but all died at a young age, non of them had any issues. So the relation must be at least second cousin. Does anyone know how Béla Szapáry, Yvonne's father is related to Mária Szapáry, Princess M of K's mother?

Princess Michael and Princess Yvonne of Hessen are fourth cousins; both them descend from Count Josef Szapary and Countess Johanna von Gatterburg.

Many thanks for the missing link, they are 4th cousins indeed. Have to get used to the fact that aristocrats tend to call "cousin" everyone...:-)
