A premiere: first time I quote myself. Well, I said that about the marriage of prince Waldemar. On browsing Google News fro more information I found several reports about a visit of Fuerst Alaxander and his wife to the Oktoberfest which is currently in Munich. One reported that the Fuerstin is heavily pregnant (8 months) but wears a dirndl none-the-less. A dirndl in his basic idea is a rather bust-revealing garment and I doubt I would wish to see the bossom of a heavily-pregant lady. Then we could read in detail how the Fuerst proudly caressed his wife's very round baby-belly....
O'zapft is: Mia san Wiesn! - BUNTE

Now if that is the way the Waldemar's are supposed to behave in order to be welcomed into the family fold, I have no idea how they should do it due to their being a bit past procreation age...

Prince Waldemar of Schaumburg-Lippe got some press in Germany and the Netherlands when he talked about the fuss of the 'his cousin' Prince of Orange getting a house in Mozambique. He thought that such intitiatives should be stimulated and that the discussion about the project was dominated by false arguments and populism.

RTL Boulevard (Dutch) called the Dutch court, who said that they had no idea who this man was.

Hi,

Royalty Digest Quarterly #2008-3 has 21 pages of pictures and family charts on the Schaumburg-Lippe family from the 19th Century to the present.
This is provided by Charlotte Zeepvat, who is quite an expert on European Royalty and Nobility.

Prince Waldemar, his wife and his stepson 'prince' Mario-Max posed for some happy family pictures. Take a look here at the Dutch website monarchen.nl. The pictures were sent by Mario-Max to the owner of the website, together with information about the self-provclaimed best selling book of Mario-Max about the credit crisis.

I;m not sure I understand...

An adult man named Mario Max was "adopted" by an old German princess of the Schaumburg-Lippe family, and added her surname and the third name "Prinz." His birth family, despite being of non-noble origin, are evidently people of some status/wealth/import and connected to the Schaumburg-Lippes, and his birth mother ended up marrying one of his adopted mother's relatives, Waldemar.

The family as a whole disapprove both of Mario-Max's adoption and his stepfather's marriage, and were afraid that Waldemar would adopt himi and give him great legality to claim the Schaumburg-Lippe name and status....is that it?

And prince Waldemar was kind enough to congratulate his 'foe' . He says that dispite of what is done to him & his wife he always stays courtious...

Velasco, I think you got the message right. The problem was that Mario-Max according to some styles himself as prince, which he is not, dispite his adoptive last name. Not that Mario-Max himself denied that heever gave the impression he was a prince.

How nice is this, the birth of little Princess Felipa !

Congratulations to the new parents!

Felipa is the name of the new-born little girl of Prince Alexander and Princess Nadja, born on December the 1st.
Prince Alexander had already a boy from his first wife Lilly von SW.
I hope she would look like her mother..
