He is a grandson of Princess Margarita of Greece and Denmark, and a grandnephew of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Anne, Princess Royal of the United Kingdom is one of his godmothers.[1]

His decision to set up 24 large wind turbines in his forest is controversial. He sought public support from Charles, Prince of Wales and former vice chancellor and foreign minister Joschka Fischer, who both attended a conference at Langenburg Castle in 2013.[2] The castle is partially open to the public, including the state rooms and an oldtimer museum.[3]
