What does everyone know about this young, handsome, eligible royal? He is the royal of the month (at least I think I read right)! I know he spends his time between Bremen, Berlin and Hechingen. That's about it. He's involved in his late grandmother's charity work (Prinzessin Kira Stiftung), and he done some traveling, but not much else. C'mon y'all...spill :D
 
I found the picture of Sophie back, but I can't post it here because it's from a Yahoo group.

The group is called 'Royauté' (it's French). Mind you it's NOT 'Royauté2', in message 2006, there are photos from the funeral of Kira of Prussia, GF's aunt. Sophie is the girl on the photo on the 2nd row, 1st one from the left.
 
House of Cleves

This is where Anne of Cleves came from but is it still a royal house? Anne was of German royalty is all i know- who are the descendants of the Cleves house?
 
The Ducal family of Cleves became extinct in 1609 when the male line died out and the Duchy of Cleves was subsequently devided between Brandenburg and Wittlesbach families before becoming part of Prussia in 1815.

Princely Wedding Shock!

I have no information to add apart from some biographical detail...

HSH Prince Alexander, born 1979, is the son of Prince Alfred and lives with his family in Vienna.

Prince Alfred is the brother of Hereditary Prince (Erbprinz) Johannes von Schönburg-Hartenstein; their father is Alexander, the 8th Prince (Fürst).

Whatever the reason, cancellation of the wedding at the last moment must be very embarrassing for such a noble and proud family.

The Gotha must be agog!

But isn't it weird to text message guests on the way to the wedding??

This sounds like a very puzzling event!
 
No explanation

Still a complete mystery as to what happened to bring about the abrupt wedding cancellation, and why. The G-ARMB has no further info either.
.
 
Just a precision: Anne-Victoire de Rougé is not a countess. In France, daughters don't get the titles of their father (except if daughters of a prince or a King). So she is mademoiselle Anne-Victoire de Rougé. But her father is count de Rougé.
 
Is there a german prince called eric?

Does anyone know if there is a member of the royal family called Eric?

Which Royal Family?

There is HRH Prince Eric of Bourbon-Parma (b 1953), married to Countess Lydia of Holstein-Ledreborg (her mother is Princess Marie Gabrielle of Luxembourg, a sister of Grand Duke Jean).

Archduchess Michaela of Austria (a daughter of the Archduke Otto) married Duke Eric Alba-Teran d'Antin, but they are divorced.

Images of German Empresses and Queens

I'd appreciate images of empresses of the Holy Roman Emipre and Germany - any esp. medieval. Berta of Tourin, Agnes de Poitu, Maria Anna von Bayern etc. The more, the better.
 
mustnt forget that most Royals were married to other royals

Thus the Baron and Baroness Von Smolevitz.....related to Hanna Rothschild.
The Von Smolevitz" were also my grand parents. So, i descend from Russian royalty and Deutschland. My grandfather was killed during ww2. Jewish royalty. Grandmother went to U.K. with their 3 children. My mother the midle one. she met my Father, Princess Esterina Romanov's son, married him ... and had myself the youngest and my sister.

None of my genealogies mention a 'Princess Esterina Romanov'. Is there an alternate spelling?
 
There is no trace on Internet of barons Stolevitz.

Yes, I checked that too, same result. But we'd probably find a Rothschild or two. :D

Indeed. :D
Some Hanna(h) Rothschild existed, but no one is related to a baron Smolevitz. So...

Why was he killed by the Nazis? Was he involved in the plot against Hitler?

Royalty Still Very Much in Vogue in Republican Germany.

Germany might not have its own royal family anymore, but that doesn't mean Germans aren't fascinated by aristocratic goings-on in other countries. Royal fever is alive and well, and the media knows how to exploit it.

Anne of Cleves was the daughter of the Duke of Cleves (Herzog von Kleve), a duchy whose lands are now split between Kreis Kleve in Germany and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is really a lovely area along the Rhine, if one ever gets the chance to visit. In the early seventeenth century, it passed from the House of Nassau to the Hohenzollerns of Prussia through a marriage, and thus was annexed to Prussia. This ended the prominence of the duchy for quite some time.

It also briefly was the stomping ground of Maurits von Nassau, and the many marriages of Cleves princesses to other royal and noble families mean that there are many descendants throughout the continent.

Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck

Does anyone here know what happened to this family? Is it true that they simply became Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg or did they die out? Or, did they stop marrying royal? Thanks!

In 1825 Herzog (Duke) Wilhelm of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck was invested with the Duchy of Glücksburg by the King of Denmark, and assumed the title of Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.

Duke Wilhelm's 4th son became King Christian IX of Denmark.

The current Duke of SHSG is HH Christoph, married to HSH Princess Elisabeth of Lippe-Weissenfeld, with three sons and a daughter.
