: they have at Berleburg? I had no idea Prince
: Richard was a forestry man. Quite
: interesting!
: Was Prince Richard's family a reigning
: family at one time? Is the Berleburg family
: related to any reigning or former reigning
: royal families, excluding the Danish
: connection via Princess Benedikte.
Prince Richard’s sister, Princess Tatjana, was married to Moritz, the late Landgrave of Hesse. One cousin, Princess Anna, is married to Prince Manuel of Bavaria (his father, Prince Leopold, is a godfather to Prince Carl Philip of Sweden).
A more distant cousin, Princess Eleonore, married secondly Duke Ludwig Wilhelm in Bavaria, whose maternal grandfather was King Miguel I of Portugal. Two of Ludwig Wilhelm’s sisters were Queen Élisabeth of the Belgians and Crown Princess Marie Gabrielle of Bavaria.
