Hello everyone,
I'd like to know something about the half Romanov half Hohenzollern princes, sons and daughters of Ludwig Ferdiannd of Prussia and his Russian wife Kira Kirillovna.
-William, the first son gave up his rights of succession to the (nonexistent) German throne. He had 4 children with two wives.
-Michael did the same thing, and had two children.
-Cecilia married (and later divorced) Frederick of Oldenburg.
-Kira married beneath her. She died two years ago (what did she die of?)
-Ludwig Ferdinand was married to Donata zu castell and had two children (the youngest, a daughter, born after his death). He died in an accident. His son is the present head of the Hohenzollern family. Donata married Friedrich of Oldenburg, divorced husband of Ludwig Ferdinand's sister.
-Christian Sigismund married a minor noble. He and his descendants are still considered members of the Imperial family of Germany.
-Xenia married beneath her. She died in 1992 of athsma.
Can anyone fill in me in with some details about the whoel business of Donata's marriage with frederick of Oldenburg? How did the Hohenzollerns feel about it? Were they OK? Where (and with who) does the head of the family live these days? What is the relationship between these Hohenzollerns and their Russiabn cousins?
