Their daughter, Princess Margarita, was born at the Third Order Hospital in Munich. The proud parents shared the happy news and their daughter’s name with the German publication Bunte.
In addition to their newborn, the couple are devoted parents to Princess Elisabeth, six, Prince Welf August, five, and Princess Eleonora, two.
Prince Ernst works in the banking industry, while Ekaterina, 38, runs her own fashion brand, EKAT, which she founded in 2013 after studying at the London College of Fashion. The family of six is believed to reside in Austria.
Ernst and Ekaterina married on July 8, 2017, in Hanover, Germany. Despite having a guest list of 600 people, the prince’s father, also named Prince Ernst August, did not attend the wedding due to a disagreement.
The couple legally wed on July 6 and enjoyed two private receptions: a luncheon at the historic Herrenhäuser Gardens and an evening reception at Marienburg Castle.
Ekaterina looked stunning in a custom hand-embroidered Chantilly lace gown with pearl details by Lebanese designer Sandra Mansour.
Princess Caroline, Ernst’s stepmother, was absent from the event, but her daughter, Princess Alexandra, served as a bridesmaid.
Also, in attendance were the groom’s brother, Prince Christian of Hanover, and his fiancée, Alessandra de Osma. The groom’s stepbrother, Andrea Casiraghi, and his wife, Tatiana Santo Domingo, attended with their children, Charlotte and Pierre, who served as a pageboy and flower girl in outfits by Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece.
