It seems they are distantly related in many ways...sharing ancestry from the Dukes of Arenberg, Princes of Salm and Princes of Lobkowicz...

Lucky not now , it should be cancelled for the mourning of Prince Michel.
 
If I remember correctly, Princess Theodora and late Prince Michael were not close.
 
September 28 is still considered quite a ways off in relation to the passing of Prince Michael, especially if Princess Theodora wasn't close. There have been so many postponements, I say continue with their wedding. No disrespect to Prince Michael who was an amazing lovely man.

The couple are at least third cousins, being descended in the same degree from Conrad of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfurst (1863-1918) and Franziska of Schonborn-Buchheim (1866-1937). There might be a closer relationship I haven't found yet.

So sorry to hear. The fact that she is the daughter of the former South African president might suggest this is somewhat of a politically motivated marriage (by the future groom and father of the bride).
