Duke Franz and the Royal House of Bavaria 2: 2022 -

[SirGyamfi1]

Yes from what is known he has for example given Duchess Anna the Bräustüberl and Brauhaus in Tegernsee and Duchess Helene has got the posessions in Wildbad Kreuth

Yeah, those ladies will enjoy all those goodies and chattels. Not that it is any of my business, but I do wonder who will inherit the unmarried sister’s inheritance seeing as she has no heirs.

Perhaps I have missed an interview, but where was it said that the fiancee will give up her career? What would prevent her from continuing it after her marriage?

Anna of Bavaria, a future sister-in-law?, still works as a journalist, AFAIK.

This is the case for the Title Duke of Bavaria and the Headship ofthe Royal House. Second in line after Duke Max is Prince Luitpold, whose paternale grandfather Prince Franz was one ofthe youngers sons of King Ludwig III. And his mothjer was Princess Irmingard, one of the daughers of Crown Prince Rruprrecht from his second marriage.

The Title Duke in bavaria is another case. Duke Max was adoptedby his maternal great-unlce and he was choosen because has is also descendning from the ducal line which is not the case for the other members of the Royal lince with the exception of his brother. so he inhertied the vast propert of the Ducal line.Apparently it was already partly given to his daughters so for example Duchess Anna manages and probably owns the ducal brewery in Tegernsee and Duchess Helene owns the property at Kreuth.

To me it would seem a bit odd to appoint (some of) his daughters as managers of his property if his intention is to ultimately transfer it all to the male line upon his death, but given the resistance against women's inheritance among European nobility, I wonder if his male relatives would protest if his bequeathed the majority of his assets to his daughter(s) instead of the next male(s).

I don’t think other members will complain because the other branches have their own assets and it was inevitable that he would give assets to his daughters as he only had daughters.

Not sure but i think he has already given some of his properties to his daughters. Most of it comes from the ducal line anyway so no need for the toher male to protest

Sounds like a well-matched couple. Both very much involved in worldwide humanitarian issues and truly contributing something.

Here is Sophie's page at Oxford University. Various sources report that she is Dutch-Canadian and was born in Singapore, so most likely used to an international lifestyle. She did her Bachelor's at UCL (London) and Master's in Oxford; and worked at the UN in New York for 7 years; and also worked for the World Health Organization in Geneva. Her fiancé spends much of his time in Africa (according to his father who is happy he lately started spending some more time in Bavaria).

Based on one of her tweets it seems that she studied in Lincoln College (in Oxford); if I am not mistaken that is princess Elisabeth's current college!

 

[SirGyamfi1]

Isn’t Sophie from a particiate/patrician family from the Netherlands?

 

[Countessmeout]

Definitely a well-educated humanitarian couple.

This is the organization he works with in Africa. At the bottom you can find him as a co-founder under the name Ludwig Bayern.

There is indeed an Evekink family listed among the Dutch patriciate. The genealogy of that family has not been updated in the blue book since the 1950s so it will be difficult totrace exactly how she will fit in.
