In addition to their baby girl, the couple are the doting parents of Princess Elisabeth, six, Prince Welf August, five, and Princess Eleonora, two.

Prince Ernst is believed to work in the banking industry, while his beautiful wife, 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 thought to live in Austria.

Ernst and Ekaterina married on Saturday, 8 July 2017, in Hanover, Germany. Despite a guest list of 600 people, one person who didn't attend the wedding was the prince's father, also named Prince Ernst August, due to a disagreement.

The couple legally married two days before their celebration on 6 July and enjoyed two private receptions: a luncheon at the historic Herrenhäuser Gardens and an evening reception at Marienburg Castle.
