They were called the Dark Wurtenberg because they 5 had Dark Hair. They are 5 and no Children.

According to wikipedia the late Dss Margarethe (Css de Chevigny) had an illegitemate son in 1962 named Patrick de la Lanne. Supposedly the father was Robin de la Lanne-Mirrlees, a Scotsman who was an inspiration for the character of James Bond. Mr. de la Lanne was raised by his foster parents in Oldenburg.

The 2012 obituary of Robin de la Lanne-Mirrlees in Scottish newspaper The Herald says the following:

Count Robin, Prince of Coronata, died in Stornoway after a long period of ill-health, and is survived by 50-year-old Patrick de la Lanne, mayor of the north German town of Delmenhort, his natural son through his long-term relationship with Margarethe, Duchess of Wurttemberg, and three grandchildren.

Marlene Koenig mentioned it on her blog as well:

Mr. de la Lanne was not included in the death advertisement in Le Figaro that appeared after the death of Dss Margarethe:

Ferdinand Eugen is Carl's paternal first cousin.

Yes. Duke Ferdinand Eugen was not the head of the family and it is not a question of who takes over in the family.

Duke Carl is the Head of the Royal House , the second Heir passed away in a car crash and it will be his Grandson who will take over.

Why do you call Friedrich the second heir?did I miss something? thanks.
He was their firstborn son.Carl himself was the second son and became head after his brother had "abdicated" due to his marriage. Now Philipp who is the only son of Friedrich was named to take over, due to Carls's bad health possibly very soon.

It isdukeWilhelm who is the son of the late Duke Freidrich. Itr was earlierthis year announced that Wilhelm will get business experience bevore taking over the Hofkammer business. Until then his uncle Duke Michael will take over this position.

And anyway it was always Wilhelm who was to became the Head of the Royal House one day as the only son of the oldest son but of course it was expected that he would follow his father rather than his grandfather.

Sorry, of course its Wilhelm not Philipp. But you did not answer the question, why you called Friedrich the second "heir".

I feel that it's important to remember that many members of the forums don't have English as their first or even second language.
