Queen Margrethe II of Denmark's nephew set to marry

(HSH) Gustav, Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, Head of the House of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg will marry his girlfriend Ms Carina Axelsson on June 4th 2022 at Berleburg castle. Prince Gustav is the son of (HSH) Richard, Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and his wife HRH Princess Benedikte of Denmark.

Prince Gustav and Carina have been together since 2003, but have been unble to marry because of a clause in Prince Gustav's grandfather's will. The clause would have disinherited Gustav should he had married Carina. Following a court case Prince Gustav has now secured his inheritance and can now marry Carina.
