Two royal engagements in Holstein and Prussia

 A bit of royal "yes" before Christmas. 

Prince Constantin of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg is engaged to marry Countess Sophia von der Schulenburg.

Prince Oskar of Prussia will marry Johanna von Jenisch.   

Constantin is the third child and second son of Prince Christoph of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and Princess Elisabeth of Lippe-Weissenfeld.  He was born July 14, 1986, in Eckernförde.  

Countess Sophia is the second of four children of Count Friedrich "Fritz" von der Schulenburg and Baroness Franziska von Knigge.  She was born on April 17, 1990, in Valencia, Spain.   Her father is the CEO & Managing Partner of Jebsen & Jessen, a Hamburg-based manufacturing firm.

Christoph is the titular Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.

Oskar is the eldest of three children of Prince Oskarl of Prussia and Auguste Zimmerman von Siefart.   He was born on October 29, 1993, in Hannover.   Johanna is the daughter of Martin von Jenisch and his wife Birgitte.

Constantin and Oskar are descendants of Queen Victoria.

Dear Marlene, I think Johanna Jenisch is Johanna von Jenisch. The Jenisch family are a "Freiherrliches" house.

Hi Marlene,

I think it is Prince Oskar Michael of Prussia, not Prince Wilhelm-Karl as Wilhelm-Karl is not married and does not have children.

Wanted to let you know.

Kind Regards ,

George
