: Perhaps it is a bit of a stretch to ask what
: type of forest, e.g., pine or hardwood, do
: 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.
