Family and life Duke Christian was born in Rastede, Lower Saxony, the only son of Duke Anton-Günther of Oldenburg and his wife Princess Ameli of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg (b. 1923). Duke Christian has an elder sister, Duchess Helene (b. 1953) who is unmarried. Duke Christian has a diplom in Business.[1] Christian is a great-grandson of the last Grand Duke of Oldenburg, Frederick Augustus II and through his mother he is related to the Princes of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg, who belong to a morganatic branch of the House of Wittelsbach descending from Frederick I, Elector Palatine. Duke Christian became heir to the headship of the Grand Ducal family on 3 April 1970 when his grandfather Hereditary Grand Duke Nikolaus died. If the monarchy was still in existence he would bear the title of Hereditary Grand Duke of Oldenburg. Although under the monarchy only the Grand Duke and Hereditary Grand Duke and their wives were entitled to the style Royal Highness, Duke Christian as heir, and his father as head of the family both use this style.[1] If Christian succeeds his father, he would be the first Count or Duke of Oldenburg to be named Christian since 1492. He is also one of only two descendants of Peter I, Grand Duke of Oldenburg to bear that name, the other being his uncle, Duke Friedrich August Wilhelm Christian Ernst. Marriage and children Christian married Countess Caroline of Rantzau (b. 1962) at Pronstorf on 26 September 1987. They have four children.[2] HH Duke Alexander Paul Hans-Caspar Andreas Daniel Carl Philippe of Oldenburg (born 17 March 1990 in Lübeck)[2] HH Duke Philipp Konstantin Wittekind Raimund Clemens Hans-Heinrich of Oldenburg (born 28 December 1991 in Lübeck)[2] HH Duke Anton Friedrich Ludwig Jan Vincent of Oldenburg (born 9 January 1993 in Lübeck)[2] HH Duchess Katharina Bibiane Edwina Isabell of Oldenburg (born 20 February 1997 in Lübeck)[2] Titles and styles 1 February 1955 – 3 April 1970: His Highness Duke Christian of Oldenburg 3 April 1970 – present: His Royal Highness Duke Christian of Oldenburg Ancestry References ^ a b Almanach de Gotha (186th ed.). 2003. pp. ,273, 274.
