How is Lady Gabriella not of a Royal house though? Is the House of Windsor not Royal enough?

Such situation was in the past.
And a British Princess (or close enough) cannot marry a Catholic. As Spheno nicely pointed out, however, there are cases where British princesses have converted to Catholicism in order to marry into Catholic royalty where their husbands chances of inheriting were greater than their own (Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg would have given up her succession rights to the British throne upon her conversion to Catholicism, which was a requirement prior to her marriage to Alfonso XIII of Spain).In fact, she would never be accepted, Princess or not, because a Brazilian Prince has to marry a Catholic.
Well, depends.
not only Queen Victoria Eugenie, but also, the current Queen of Spain, Sofia, who was born a Princess of Greece and Denmark was born and raised as a Greek Orthodox.. she converted to a Roman Catholic upon her marriage to the then Infante Juan Carlos of Spain.....there are cases where British princesses have converted to Catholicism in order to marry into Catholic royalty.
well, i think it would be more specific than just bearing those styles.. in just basing on those styles, then HSH Princess Anna Czartoryska would be good enough HRH Prince Antônio of Orléans-Braganza even though she is not from a mediatised noble house.. but i have to admit, the House of Czartoryski, like the House of Ligne is an exhalted princely family even though they are not mediatised.Well, in order to marry a Brazilian Prince or Princess, you have fulfill the following requirements:
- Be a HSH, HH, HRH or HIH.
- Be a Catholic.
In 1943 Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia made an instruction which stated that "considering the fact that the choice of Protestant women of equal rank according to the House Laws of the Royal House is extraordinarily small and constantly shrinking, the Head of the Royal House can in exceptional circumstances declare a marriage as equal even if the conditions for equality are not met."...the Heirs to the Hohenzollern dynasty are decided by unwritten House Laws...
As there isn't any written document left about the House Laws,during the Kingdom of Prussia and the Empire of Germany it was up to the Head of the family to decide consulting all other legitimate male family members... The practice of the house was clearly to set high standards to marriages,but they never mentioned them in particular.

Yes. I believe the Brazilian Imperial Family is one the Royal Houses with the most strict rules regarding marriage.Yes,some families have different rules...

Oh, yes, the Brazilian Imperial House Rules looks very liberal when compared to the Sayn-Witgenstein Rules.
Well, they were not a German family to have the need to point that out...but if we speak about prejudice,almost every family who still has and follows some kind of House Law has prejudice,in this or that way...At least, the Brazilian Imperial House doesn't enforce Nazi prejudices regarding marriages.
Oh, yes, the Brazilian Imperial House Rules looks very liberal when compared to the Sayn-Witgenstein Rules.
But in the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg case it are not House Rules, but rules who are regulated in a Testament.
Doesn't Prince Richards fathers will only deal with the family fortune and not headship?
True - but most of the wealth is not personal, but belongs the Head of the House .. so who ever will be the next Head of the House will inherit the bulk.
