Saw this on the celebrity news thread but technically belongs in this thread just as much.

Tessa and Barron Hilton welcomed a daughter Milou Alizee Hilton on March 11.

Tessa is known as Tessa Hilton professionally but she is Countess Tessa June von Walderdorff. She is the daughter of photographer Count Franz von Walderdorff and his wife Anna-Sabrina Brühwiler. Her paternal grandmother Countess Marie Josepha von Ballestrem was a daughter of Princess Therese zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. Therese was the sister of Karl, 8th prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenber.

She spent much of her childhood at Schloss Hofling, a home leased in 1985 for 100 years by the Walderdorff family.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Höfling


She is of course sister in law to Paris and Nicky Hilton. Nicky Hilton's husband James is a grandson of Victor Rothschild, 3rd Baron Rothschild.


Third granddaughter for Kathy and Richard Hilton. Their daughter Nicky has Lily Grace (2016) and Teddy Marilyn (2017).


I believe it is the first grandchild for Tessa's parents. She does have a sister Countess Mia Rose.

Hello, TSH Hereditary Princess Viktoria Luise of Leiningen, née Prussia and husband have their first children a daughter: Alexandra Ehrengard on 28th February 2020.

Royal Musings: Two new QVDS in the Leiningen family.

Isabelle.

According to my private source as well as Bunte, Alexandra was born on 29 February.

https://www.bunte.de/royals/royals-...den-und-das-baby-traegt-einen-besonderen.html
 

and your source is incorrect. Bunte took it from twitter ... baby Alexandra was born on the 28th of February .. according to her mother

https://royalmusingsblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2020/03/another-qvd.html I also have the full name and place of birth !!!!
 
Lovely name. Glad we didn't have to wait as long as we did with her cousin.

I had wondered if there was more to her name when we only had Alexandra Ehrengard as it seemed quite short for a royal, especially the German ones. Named for a grandmother on either end, and her mother in the middle. I do wonder if any of the names are also a secondary nod to a godmother which is traditional with the Germany houses it seems. Guess will have to wait if we get christening info (likely since we did on her cousin Leopold), and see if there are any godmothers by those names.

A small post that Hein was kind enough to let me make about the birth.

Daniel's parents' marriage was considered morganatic, so Daniel (and his children) as well as his brother Simon are not considered as dynastic members of the Ducal family.
