Princess Caroline's current and former homes

[hrhcp]

There used to be Herrenhausen in Hannover. Nice. I have been there. It belongs to the state now.

There is a big castle in the Harz area.
Then he has a vacation home in Kenya.
There is their new place in Croatia.
What happened with Caroline's place in St. Remi something in France near Monaco?
Where are his other hide-outs?

Does anybody have pictures they can post here?

Fuerstenhaus Herrenhausen

Apparently the Schloss (Palace) was destroyed in WW2 and never rebuilt. The Fuerstenhaus (translation please?) sits to one side.

The stable and continuing home of the family is in Fontainebleau near Paris.

And there is a place in London?

Fuerstenhaus means "Prince's House". Herrenhausen means "manor house" or "mansion".

Princess Caroline was seen with Charlotte this April in St. Remy doing some shopping. So this makes me think that they still have the home in St. Remy.

Das Schloß Cumberland war ursprünglich Exilsitz des Königshauses von Hannover, das 1866 den Thron verloren hatte. Der Sohn des Ex-Königs Georg V., Ernst August ließ es 1878 im englischen Tudorstil erbauen. Ernst August trug seit diesem Jahr den Titel eines Herzogs von Cumberland, daher erhielt das Schloß seinen Namen.

1913 heiratete der Großsohn des Königs, Prinz Ernst August die einzige Tochter des Deutschen Kaisers Wilhelms II., Viktoria Luise, und bestieg gleichzeitig den braunschweigischen Thron. Von da an war Cumberland eine Art Sommeresidenz neben dem Schloß in Braunschweig. Alle 5 Kinder des Herzogspaares, darunter Friederike, nachmalige Königin von Griechenland, wurden hier geboren.

Nach der Revolution in Braunschweig ging die Herzogsfamilie zunächst nach Gmunden ins Exil. Heute ist das Schloß Cumberland ein Landeskrankenhaus.

Schloss Cumberland liegt 10 Minuten östlich von Gmunden an der Bundesstraße nach St. Konrad, Scharnstein.

Das schöne Schloss liegt auf einer Anhöhe, geschmückt mit einem Park und Promenadenwegen. Es wurde im Auftrag von Herzog Ernst August von Cumberland in den Jahren 1882 bis 1886 von Grund auf neu errichtet.

Neben Cumberland besaß der Herzog noch ein Jagdschloß am Almsee bei Gmunden.

Yes, that's a good place. However, you'll have to fight Lauren over that.

She can have the one turret at the entrance, and I can have the other .... privacy (yuh know).

Which Royal House is prince ernst form? Its seems like he still own lots of properties in europe. Which part of europe his family used to rule?

 

[kittencrews]

Ernst is from the Royal House of Hannover, but he is also a prince of Great Britain and Ireland... Hannover is a city in Germany now, it used to be a Kingdom before Prussia took it over, but it is in Germany now.

 

[Duke]

Thanks!! So why is he also a prince of great britain and ireland? So is he the head of the royal house of hannover?

Marienberg Castle

Great pictures, kittencrews, thanks a lot for them!
But isn't the castle called Marienburg not Marienberg?

 

[kittencrews]

Ha ha... yes it is Marienburg!! My bad...

He is prince of Great Britain and Ireland because he is direct descendant of King George III the throne's of England and Hannover were once combined then in the 1800's Salic law in England allowed Queen Victoria to take the throne but it didn't change for Hannover so they still had a male heir.

The law in Hannover is still the first born male that is why is older sister Maria is not the head of the house.

It's said that he has more royal blood than Charles... ha ha

Hi everyone !
I heard that Caroline has bought a new home and Monte Carlo. There are some pix on Brainpix, when she visits her new house but I can't see these pics. Can someone post them, please ? Thanks a lot !

 

[hrhcp]

I'd love to see them too. :flower:

 

[paulette]

I watched last night in DW-TV ,a German channel, their show called euromaxx.
It has a report on Princess Caroline regarding living back in Monaco. One reason cited was to be closer to her family especially her father and it was mentioned there regarding relationships. Maybe settle something.

She was able to buy a house along the bay with 15 rooms. It was once owned or I think it was recommended by Karl Lagerfeld who is close friend of the princess. The house is very beautiful. It overlooks the ocean and its color is white.

hmz...that sounds like the place where Charlotte will be having her coming of age ball...you can see the pics in one of forums in the Monaco category...i think it is someting about Charlotte's ball can't remember but it is somewhere around here ^__^

 

[laura_barnaes]

Yes it is, she bought La Vigie about a month ago and she's going to live there. There's something I noticed and called my attention, Paris Match and Hola said she decided to move so that she could be closer to her family after spending a lot of time living in Germany, but I've always thought she lived in Fontainebleau. At least this is where Charlotte and Pierre live, and I thought Caroline lived with them in France...

laura_barnes i've read the same thing many time too that Caroline and her adorable kids have been living in Fontainbleau for a while now....I think she has been moving between there and Germany since her marriage ^___^

Here is the link to see a picture of the house. It looks fabulous!!! If it doesn't work just google "Villa La Vigie" and click on the Robb Report.

[hrhcp]

If I interpret the text under the picture correctly, she has sold this house?

... I don't 'see' how she would be lacking the brains (nor having need for cash flow) to sublet the house when she's not in town? Or, is it in Monaco ... a "posh" thing to do .... to 'see' how much foolish tourists are willing to pay?

 

[Grace]

I'm sorry if I'm saying here something false or inaccurate, but I read quite a few years ago, that La Vigie has always been owned by the Grimaldis, and that Caroline had just lent/rented it to Lagerfeld for a 99years period, but that eventually he left Monaco and gave the villa back.
My hypothesis is that Caroline is not moving from Clos St Pierre (and why should she? Her home is wonderful as well) and that these rumors just started because she's apparently organizing a party for her daughter...my opinion is due to the fact that in the last four or five years I've read in various mags that Caroline was moving to LaVigie at least three or four times; mind you, this time it might well be true, but I'm becoming quite suspicious
BTW, I've been to Monaco and I can tell you that LaVigie is one of the finest estates I've ever seen so if she's really moving in, I can just say "Good move!"
Kisses everyone
