Prince Ernst August of Hanover Biography

Prince Ernst August of Hanover is one of the most popular and richest Agriculturer who was born on February 26, 1954 in Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany. King George V of England recognized Ernst August’s father, and his siblings, as Prince of Great Britain & Ireland ad personam on 17 June 1914. Titles Deprivation Act 1917 suspended the hereditary Dukedoms of Cumberland, Teviotdale, and Earldom of Armagh which were borne in 1917 from his paternal great grandfather. The title Royal Prince of Great Britain & Ireland, along with other German titles, had been added to the family’s German passports in 1914. Titles became part of the family’s last name after the 1918-19 German Revolution, which saw the end of the privileges granted to nobility. Curiously, however, the British prince’s title remains part of their family’s last names in Germany, but it is not mentioned in British documents. Ernst August’s grandfather Ernest Augustus Duke of Brunswick, head of the House, declared the formal resumption for himself and his descendants as a secondary title. This style is called “Royal Prince Of Great Britain and Ireland”, which his grandson Ernst August still claims.

The legal privileges of nobility and royalty in Germany were eliminated in

1919. Hereditary titles are now part of the name for legal purposes. However, in his British passport, the prince is called His Royal Highness.

By a 24 August 1981 declaration issued by his father as the Head of House, pursuant to Chapter 3, §§ 3 and 5 of the House laws of 1836, Ernst August was authorised to marry dynastically, and did firstly marry, civilly on 28 August 1981 and religiously on 30 August 1981, Chantal Hochuli (b. 2 June 1955 in Zurich), the daughter and heiress of a Swiss real estate developer. They had two sons:

Ernst August’s younger brother Prince Ludwig Rudolph of Hanover and his wife, Princess Isabella of Hanover (1962–1988), died tragically. On 28 November 1988, while authorities removed Princess Isabella’s body from The Queen’s Villa in Gmunden, Austria, a house owned by Ernst August which he had left to his brother and sister-in-law, and investigated the drug-strewn scene, Ludwig Rudolph, distraught over his wife’s apparently accidental cocaine overdose, placed a call to his brother in London, imploring him to take care of the couple’s 10-month-old son. Then he fled. Hours later Ludwig Rudolph was found dead, apparently a victim of suicide, near his family’s hunting lodge several miles away, on Lake Traun. Custody of their infant son Otto Heinrich was eventually awarded, contrary to the expressed wishes of Ludwig Rudolph as the surviving parent and Ernst August’s legal efforts, to the child’s maternal grandparents, Count Ariprand (1925–1996) and Countess Maria von Thurn und Valsassina-Como-Vercelli (born 1929), to be raised at their family seat, Bleiburg Castle in southern Austria.

Ernst August, the heir of the Earl of Armagh and Teviotdale, is entitled to petition the Titles Deprivation Act 1918 for the restoration of his ancestors’ suspended British peerages. However, he has yet to do so. His father, also known as Ernst August, was able to claim British citizenship after World War II through a previously overlooked (and since abrogated) provision in the Sophia Naturalization Act 1705. (Attorney General v HRH Prince Ernest Augustusof Hanover [1957] 1 All ER 49).
