I know it is of no interest whatsoever, but I am still so sorry for Chantal Hochuli. What must she have suffered.

 

[michelleq]

Is she still seeing Queen Paola's nephew?

 

[MAfan]

What what what??? Which nephew?

 

[amedea]

What what what??? Which nephew?

Alessandro Ruffo di Calabria, the former husband of princess Mafalda of Savoy-Aosta

 

[MAfan]

And I didn't know anything about them? Silly me! What a bad royal watcher am I!
Btw, how long are they dating?

 

[Warren]

Sidestepping who's dating who, the greater significance is that the former Princess of Hanover attended a semi-Gotha event hosted by the Bismarcks.
Her divorce from the Head of the Royal House of Hanover does not seem to have affected her social standing, although she was not born into the Gotha.

 

[MAfan]

Well, I guess she has become friend of several nobles during her marriage, and that now she still is friend of these nobles...

 

[michelleq]

I am glad! To anyone's knowledge, has she and her former husband and best friend attended the same function yet?

 

[maria-olivia]

Caroline de Monaco was pregnant as for her second wedding with Stefano C

 

[NotAPretender]

Has she reverted fully to her maiden name, or does she use her present title and style of Chantal, Princess of Hanover? I see her identified as Chantal Hochuli in the press, but of course that means nothing, as the press regularly misidentifies names, titles, and styles.

ETA: Her (former?) boyfriend, Prince Alessandro Ruffo Di Calabria, is also the nephew of Queen Paola of Belgium as well as being the former husband Malfalda. I seem to remember there being some other personage that he dated, the sister of a female royal. Perhaps Marie-Chantal of Greece, or perhaps C.P. Mathilde. My memory could be foggy on that, though.

 

[Next Star]

Some woman even after they divorce their husbands still go by her former married name or possiblty go to a lower style if a title is involuved but not in this sense.Chantal is still being social and going to events with nobles and having fun which is great.

 

[JustMe67]

Not quite right

In Germany her name is still Chantal Prinzessin von Hannover and the name of her former husband is Ernst-August Prinz von Hannover.
Note: Not Prince Ernst-August von Hannover

In Germany titles belong to the name since 1918-1919, when nobility lost their rights and titles. Former titles became part of the names.
After a divorce, the last names therefore stay the same, unless one chooses to take back her maiden name which she obviously didn't do as the mother of the future head of the house von Hannover. So therefore she is a Princess like Caroline, no more and no less!

Your explanation is ok for english nobility rules, but not for german nobility.

 

[Inkerman]

A very good friend of mine had the great fortune to meet Chantal in London recently, he was suitably impressed and somewhat smitten. Still a fabulously good looking woman and extremely memorable by all accounts.

Wonder if she knows Andrea Dellal is the mother and Tyrone Wood the best friend of Alex Dellal, who is the boyfriend of Charlotte Casiraghi, Caroline of Hanover's daughter. I mean, not that that should stop her or anything, but that's quite an interesting and ironic connection to me.

 

[twilightroyalty]

wow she was pretty when she was younger

I agree with you.I'm sure she knows but i don't think that she really cares.If she decided to avoid every single person that has to do with the Casiraghis and even more with Monaco's Princely Family she should exclude many mutual friends because i believe that she,Ernst and Caroline have pretty much the same social circle.

Chantal Hochuli attended the launch of the Louis Vuitton Bond Street
Maison on May 25, 2010 in London, England. Great look, the colours,
the cut and the combination looked great in my eyes!

Chantal looks wonderful. She even looks a little better than Princess Caroline, but Caroline still has Ernst-August so that's why she doesn't look as well as Chantal.

 

[Kastalia]

^Caroline and Ernst live separately the last months so i think that she won't have him for long..Chantal looked great,i liked her green dress a lot.

 

[JSP]

It is a small world
Andrea Dellal is non other than the mother of Charlotte's Casiraghi creepy boyfriend.

[Warren]

Yes, the relationship is mentioned by Kells just a few posts previously.
