The Hohenlohe-Langenburg dynasty has amazing connections to most of Europe's royals. It all began with Queen Adelaide of Great Birtian, consort of King William IV, who played an important role in arrnaging the mariage of Princess Feodora zu Leiningen to Fürst Ernst zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg.
Feodora was Queen Victoria's beloved half-sister. Ernst was Queen Adelaide's first cousin.
From then on the HHohenlohe-Langenburgs have kept a close contact to the English royal family, including the marriages of Fürst Ernst II to Princess Alexandra of Edinburgh and that of Fürst Gottfried to Princess Margarita of Greece, eldest sister of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The three Heads of House who lived between 1832-1960 [Hermann, Ernst II, Gottfried] all married princesses from First Section Almanach de Gotha Houses: Baden, Saxe-Coburg & Gotha and Greece.
