but all of them have the surname Herzog/Herzogin von Württemberg.

Duke Christoph married in 2000 ires Caren Metzger, the have 2 children
Syvlie, born 2001, and Louis born 2003
Also Duchess Christiane married 2003 Till Kitzing.

They first time i have seen pictures of Ludwig was when he attended the 70th birthday celebrations of Duke Carl in 2006.

Ok there is a difference between the legal surnames as per german law and the social and family recognised 'titles'. I doubt that Duke Karl would recognise his nephews and nieces as Duke or Duchess.

IMO Dianne de Wurtemberg was one of the most interesting children of the Count and Comtesse de Paris. I remember seing photos of her marriage to Duke Karl and then the births of her brood of children. She has always been very different from her siblings and her attitudes have also been very modern, especially for the sort of environment where she was born and then later, lived.

Diane, Eberhard and Michael of Württemberg at Monrepos, Ludwigsburg,
October 7, 2008. Not sure about the event, something related with art
and there was a handover of a cheque, maybe charitable donations.

Maybe it's just me but Diane doesn't look much older than her sons.
