: HSH Prince Richard zu
: Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg turns 75 years
: old today – which is a small miracle
: considering how ill he was some years ago.
: He has always preferred the quiet life in
: Berleburg to the royal banquets in
: Copenhagen - and is in this and many other
: respects a complete contrast to his wife
: Princess Benedikte. Outspoken as he is, he
: has never made a secret out of their
: differences and the problems it sometimes
: gives to be the husband of a busy princess.
: Nevertheless, they have been married for
: over 40 years now and share not least a good
: sense of humour. Richard’s bursts of
: laughter are as wellknown as his candid
: remarks, but he is also a man of temper. A
: German magazine once wrote: "When he
: gets really angry, the royal house trembles
: in Denmark". Oh well, let’s hope the
: years have softened him a bit :-)
