Early life

Guda was born at Arolsen, Germany, the fifth child and fourth daughter of Josias, Hereditary Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont (1896–1967), (son of Friedrich, Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont and Princess Bathildis of Schaumburg-Lippe) and his wife, Duchess Altburg of Oldenburg (1903–2001), (daughter of Frederick Augustus II, Grand Duke of Oldenburg and Duchess Elisabeth Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin).[1] Through her father she is descendant of George II of Great Britain, thus she is in the line of succession to the British throne.

Marriage

Guda married on 9 September 1958 in Arolsen to Frederick William, Prince of Wied (1931–2000), elder son of Prince Hermann of Wied and his wife, Countess Marie Antonia of Stolberg-Wernigerode. They divorced in 1962.[1]
