Duchess Rixa, 42, is one of three children of Duke Friedrich August of Oldenburg and his first wife, Princess Marie Cecile of Prussia.
The bride was given away by her brother, Duke Paul, and not her father, who did not attend the wedding. The Oldenburg children did not attend the wedding of their cousin, Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia. Georg Friedrich's uncles, Friedrich Wilhelm, Michael and Christian Sigismund, and aunt Marie Cecile also did not attend that wedding.
Duke Friedrich August and Princess Marie Cecile are divorced. His second wife, Donata, is widow of Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, the third son of the late Prince Louis Ferdinand, head of the family, and is the mother of Georg Friedrich.
Although the legal issues have been largely settled by the German courts, there is still some tension between Georg Friedrich and his uncles and aunt.
Marlene, does this mean that her father was not invited to the wedding?
