Princely House of Hohenlohe


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Should it be unheard of in aristocracy and royalty?

I'm curious as well. The article implies Doña María will be the first member of the house of Hohenlohe to marry somebody of the same sex, but what about members of other Spanish or German aristocratic families?

Hopefully there will be photographs from the wedding. Does the family own any historic tiaras which they might wear?


To be official, the family must have accepted it well.
Congratulations to the two brides!

I don't think parental consent is a requirement for marriages in the Spanish aristocracy. The consent of the King was historically required for marriages of Grandees, but that requirement fell into disuse quite a long time ago.

I know nothing about the family, but María's second cousin Victoria von Hohenlohe applied to succeed as Duchess of Medinaceli rather than stepping aside for her younger brother as some Spanish heiresses have decided or been pressed into doing. Perhaps that indicates that the family is accepting of equality and does not insist its members follow the concept of a traditional patriarchal family?

From the article it appears that Doña Carlota, other than being female, is a traditional Spanish aristocratic bride, having graduated from the same primary school as the King and being from a family which moves in the same circles as the Duke of Alba.

While there are many out gay nobles and aristocrats the only marriages I know of are:

Spain - The Duchess of Medina Sidonia married her longtime partner, Liliana Maria Dahlmann, only hours before her death in 2008.

Italy - Prince Giulio Durini di Monza married Brazilian Henrique Mollica in 2014.

UK - Lord Ivar Mountbatten married James Coyle in 2018.

Sweden - Countess Sophie Mörner of Morlanda married Cajsa von Zeipel in 2018.

Germany - While not married Duke Franz of Bavaria has been in a long time relationship with Thomas Greinwald who seems to be accepted by the aristocracy and accompanies Franz both to official and more private events.

Not a marriage but when we are on the subject of LGBTQI marriages and acceptance:
The British Pemberton family who owns Trumpington Hall had the inheritance rules of a family trust controlling the estate changed in 2016 to specifically allow widowed same-sex husbands and wives to have the same rights as other widowed partners.

Are the Hohenlohe from Langenburg invited for the coronation?
Seen no press release yet, which they normally do when invited.
Txs.

I don’t think that is the case of the Medinaceli Ducal family, the title had not remained with patrilineal descendants of the first title holder anyways so it probably didn’t make a difference and titles have been shared among members.

You don't think what is the case?

The accepting of equality or traditional patriarchal noble holding because the family aren’t patrilineal descendants of the first title holder anyways. Plus there were many titles split/shared amongst the Medinaceli family and Victoria got her inheritance portion from the Duke of Sergorbe.
 
The accepting of equality or traditional patriarchal noble holding

These are two irreconciliable positions: a family might be accepting of (gender) equality or they might hold to traditional patriarchy, but by definition they cannot do both. So, which one do you "don't think is the case" for the Medinaceli family?
