Dispute over nobility title: Prince Donatus defends Princess Josefa!

in Hohenzollern, one of the most important nobility dynasties in Germany, there is currently a solid argument about title and belonging. Princess Josefa von Hohenzollern-Emden, who is eighth month pregnant and soon awaits her son Leopold, experiences backing from her family branch. [gea.de] (https://www.gea.de/land_artikel ,-titel-zoff-im-Haus-Hohenzollern-Prinz-Donatus-Defertigigtprinjosefa-ilosefa-ilosefa-ilosefa-ilosefa-ilosefa-ilosefa-ilosefa-ilosefa-IRID.HTML) reports on the recent incidents in which Karl Friedrich Prinz von Hohenzollern publicly degraded. The family of Sigmaringer even distanced itself from the family of the Died husband Harald.

The 63-year-old Harald was a well-known diamond dealer and was called "Diamond Prince" after his wedding with Josefa. Tragically, he disappeared just a few months after the marriage, and his absence has been released by many myths to this day. The comments and the approach of Karl Friedrich, who claims that Harald was not a family member, throw shadows on Josefa's legitimate title, since no genealogical connection between Harald and the Hohenzollern coat of arms could be found. This caused a lack of understanding at Josefa because she is convinced that her husband was accepted into the nobility through his marriage.

family twist and public explanations

The tensions between the different branches of the Hohenzollern dynasty are not new. There has been a separation between the Swabian Hohenzollern and the Brandenburg-Prussian branch since the 13th century. The Swabian House of Karl Friedrich and that of the Brandenburg-Prussian line is currently led by Georg Friedrich Prinz von Prussia. Historically, the Hohenzollern house has been important in various political functions for centuries, including as Elector of Brandenburg and Emperor from Germany to the abdication in 1918.

What will become of Josefa and her child, the little Leopold? Their steadfastness and commitment to their title seem to be strong, even if external circumstances are increasingly putting them under pressure. In their environment there are not only family challenges, but also public and media attention that make the tradition of the Hohenzollern house appear in a new light. The next time could be crucial for your position within the family and the public. Regardless of all the disagreements, the history of the Hohenzollern remains one of the most fascinating stories in the German nobility.
