Default Grand Ducal House of Oldenburg

Grand Ducal Standard 1882-1918

There is Rixa von Oldenburg.
I saw this photo of Rixa von Oldenburg. Rixa von Oldenburg such beautiful and nice woman!
Unfortunately, I saw only this photo. Somebody could place other photos of Rixa von Oldenburg here?
Does have she a husband and children?
I shall be very grateful.

Rixa is engaged to Philipp Medow. It was announced in Nov 2005. He is quite younger than she, something like eleven or twelve years.

They were taken last summer/fall?? (2006) I believe at the Wohltaetigkeitskonzert at Burg Hohenzollern, which is an event connected to the Prinzessin Kira Stiftung.

Default Grand Ducal House of Oldenburg

I never see much chat about the House of Oldenburg. Do the existing members of the House take any public role in their former realm?

They are very privat and you see almost no picutres from them.
But there is an new book out of the family which has many nice pictures from the first Grand Duke until the present family and also a Genealogy.

Duke Anton Günther and his Family live at Schloß Güldenstein, Duke Peter and Family at the Lehnsahner Hof and also Rastede belongs to the Family. I think Duke Huno and Fuke Johann are living there.

The Oldenburgs seem to have several homes in Schleswig-Holstein which was outside their old realm. Is this because their family has roots in that area as well? (I am not that big on genealogy, but I seem to recall that the Oldenburgs, Mecklinburg royals, and the Danish royals are all closely related.)

Someone was kind enough to ad the Grand Ducal Standard at the top of this thread. I wonder if the family still flies it over their homes?

This is my all time favourite German royal house. It's amazing when you realise that the thrones of Russia, Greece, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden were or currently are occupied by members of branches of the Oldenburg Grand Ducal family. And upon the demise of HM Queen Elizabeth II, the next generation of British rulers will in the unbroken male line be Oldenburgs (Glucksburg branch that is).

It's been said more than once that the Oldenburgs were the role models for the Saxe-Coburgs.
