Ernst August with his wife Ekaterina Malysheva. Ernst August II of Hanover. A worthy son of his father: Crown Prince Ernst August of Hanover
9 July 2017, 17:05Friends, get your handkerchiefs ready.
It turns out that this happens not only in fairy tales. And the words of the great Serduchka’s song about “if you are over thirty and a prince” will never lose their relevance.
So! Bell ringing...
There is one more princess in this world - designer of Russian origin Ekaterina Malysheva officially became the wife of Prince Ernst August of Hanover, a relative of Prince Albert II of Monaco and a descendant of British monarchs - King George III on the male line and Queen Victoria on the female line.
the prince himself
Prince Ernst August of Hanover is the son and heir of Prince Ernst August V of Hanover, head of the Royal House of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg.
The lovers got married at Hannover City Hall. The civil ceremony was attended only by Ernst's younger brother, Prince Christian, and a few friends of the couple.
Despite the groom's title, the civil ceremony was quite modest. Among the guests of honor, Ernst's brother Prince Christian was present at the ceremony, but his father did not come to the wedding, as he did not approve of his son's choice. The prince's father demanded that Ernst the younger renounce the titles given to him and return the property that his father gave him as a gift in 2004 - including Marienburg Castle.
However, they held a civil ceremony, although it was modest and closed.

And the next day the young people got married in one of the oldest Hanoverian churches.
The wedding was attended by many members of the princely family of Monaco: Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo, Charlotte Casiraghi, Andrea Casiraghi and Tatiana Santo Domingo with children and others. Prince Ernst entered the church accompanied by his mother Chantal Khokhuli, and Ekaterina Malysheva was led to the altar by her father.
Ekaterina Malysheva now bears the title Her Royal Highness Princess of Hanover and Duchess of Brunswick-Lüneburg.
Many descendants of royal families are already married to beauties of far from noble blood. But for the first time in Russian. In recent history, our girls have become the wives of aristocrats - remember, for example, the marriage of Natalia Vodianova with the British Lord Portman - but no one was able to enter the royal family. Before "Princess Katya".
So what did it take for Catherine to marry the prince? You can't call her an unearthly beauty. A huge fortune is also not the reason: although Katya grew up in the family of a wealthy Russian businessman, he was never included in the Forbes list. Feminine cunning? Perhaps, but everyone who knows Catherine claims that the girl was never a “groom hunter,” although she led an active social life in London, where she has lived since her studies at the Institute of Arts.
prince's castle
Talent and determination - these are the qualities that won the heart of the heir to the royal House of Hanover - this is the general verdict.
While still a child, Katya left Russia with her parents. Her mother is a theater actress, her father is employed in the oil and gas industry (info from the Bunte website). Catherine studied at an international school in Prague. Speaks Russian, English, Czech. Brother is a banker in Prague.
Her family settled in Prague. Until now, Catherine confesses her love for this city in her rare interviews. In Prague, she studied at the International School, but at the age of 19 she left the Czech Republic for the London Institute of Arts. Having received a degree in design, Ekaterina began to practice designing fashionable clothes. And, like a real fashion designer, she wore the most successful outfits herself. The bright, tight-fitting trouser overalls that Ekaterina sewed for herself for her next party became her passport to the world of fashion.
It first impressed her friends, and then became the hallmark of the Ekat brand, which the girl founded. Now actress Sienna Miller, Penelope Cruz, singers Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora and even Cher are wearing her overalls.

Her clothes now adorn the pages of glossy publications, and the brand’s stores no longer sell only overalls, but also swimsuits, men’s swimming trunks and many accessories. At the same time, Ekaterina worked in the documentary film genre. In socio-political documentaries, she even received an Emiya award.
The Crown Prince of Hanover met such a versatile girl at one of the social parties.
While still studying, Catherine made friends with people from the Kingdom of Monaco, to whom 33-year-old Ernst Augustus of Hanover was no stranger. His father's second wife, Princess Caroline of Hanover, is the daughter of Prince Rainier III of Monaco and actress Grace Kelly. Ernst August's mother Chantal Hochuli, who divorced his father long ago, is the daughter of the owner of a Swiss chocolate factory.
It took place on one of the Greek islands and was of a formal nature - Ernst August and Katya had been dating for five years and lived together for a year in London, where the Prince of Hanover has long worked in the banking industry.

Prince Christian's girlfriend is 26-year-old Alessandra de Osma, the daughter of a wealthy Peruvian businessman. She works as a model and has a law degree.

According to the laws of the House of Welf, Catherine is required to convert to Protestantism before the wedding. After the wedding, the newlyweds are expected to move from London to Hanover so that Ernst August can fulfill his duties as the (future) head of the House of Hanover.
Bunte writes that Catherine’s wedding dress is from her close friend, Lebanese designer Sandra Mansour. The Chantilly lace outfit was hand-sewn. It took 3.5 months to embroider all the patterns on the lace with pearls.

Future mother-in-law Chantal Khochuli (or Khochuli?), from a family of Swiss multimillionaires, mother of both princes and first wife of Ernst August with future daughter-in-law Catherine:
When in 1980 it became known that Ernst August, heir to the house of one of the oldest aristocratic dynasties in Europe, was going to marry the daughter of a multimillionaire, albeit not of “blue” blood, it was a scandal at that time.
The princes' father and Caroline of Monaco's husband, 62-year-old Ernst August, has three citizenships: British, German and Austrian. I wonder how many citizenships his sons have? Considering that their mother is Swiss, they also have the right to Swiss citizenship.

A few hours ago, in the Hanoverian Market Church, a solemn wedding ceremony took place between Prince Ernst August of Hanover, a relative of Prince Albert II of Monaco and a descendant of British monarchs - King George III in the male line and Queen Victoria in the female line, and Ekaterina Malysheva, a famous designer of Russian origin. Unlike the marriage registration, which was a rather modest and closed event, the wedding took place according to all the canons of a royal wedding.
At about 13:00 Moscow time, expensive cars with representatives of royal families began to drive up to the Market Church. Thus, the wedding was attended by members of the princely family of Monaco - Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo, Charlotte Casiraghi, Andrea Casiraghi and Tatiana Santo Domingo with their children; Prince Ernst's mother is Chantal Hochuli, his younger brother is Prince Christian with his wife and daughter and many others.
Prince Ernst entered the church accompanied by his mother Chantal Hochuli. His father, Prince Ernst August V of Hanover, is known to have refused to attend the ceremony due to financial disagreements with his son, and also because he does not approve of this marriage. According to tradition, Ekaterina Malysheva was led to the altar by her father, Igor Malyshev.
Ekaterina owns her own fashion brand EKAT, but she entrusted the design of her wedding dress to the Lebanese designer and her close friend Sandra Mansour. The Chantilly lace outfit was hand-sewn. It took 3.5 months to embroider all the patterns on the lace with pearls.

Let us remember that the marriage proposal was made to Catherine at the beginning of August last year during a family vacation on the island of Spetses in Greece. According to the publication HOLA!, both families joyfully accepted the news of the upcoming wedding, which for many had become expected: the 33-year-old prince and his 31-year-old chosen one had been dating for 5 years at that time, and had been living in London for the last six months.

Excerpt characterizing Hanoverian, Ernst August
“Well, what about others who are the same?..” I whispered quietly in Stella’s ear. – There must be a lot of them, right? What to do with them? After all, it’s not fair to help one. And who gave us the right to judge which of them is worthy of such help?Stellino's face immediately frowned...
– I don’t know... But I know for sure that this is right. If it were wrong, we would not have succeeded. There are different laws here...
Suddenly it dawned on me:
- Wait a minute, what about our Harold?!.. After all, he was a knight, which means he also killed? How did he manage to stay there, on the “top floor”?..
“He paid for everything he did... I asked him about this - he paid very dearly...” Stella answered seriously, wrinkling her forehead funny.
- What did you pay with? - I did not understand.
“The essence...” the little girl whispered sadly. “He gave up part of his essence for what he did during his life.” But his essence was very high, therefore, even after giving away part of it, he was still able to remain “at the top.” But very few people can do this, only truly highly developed entities. Usually people lose too much and end up much lower than they were originally. How Shining...
It was amazing... This means that having done something bad on Earth, people lost some part of themselves (or rather, part of their evolutionary potential), and even at this, they still had to remain in that nightmarish horror, which was called - “lower” Astral... Yes, for mistakes, indeed, one had to pay dearly...
“Well, now we can go,” the little girl chirped, waving her hand contentedly. - Goodbye, Luminary! I will come to you!
We moved on, and our new friend was still sitting, frozen with unexpected happiness, greedily absorbing the warmth and beauty of the world created by Stella, and plunging into it as deeply as a dying person would do, absorbing the life that had suddenly returned to him... .
“Yes, that’s right, you were absolutely right!” I said thoughtfully.
Stella beamed.
Being in the most “rainbow” mood, we had just turned towards the mountains when a huge, spiked-clawed creature suddenly emerged from the clouds and rushed straight at us...
- Be careful! – Stela squealed, and I just managed to see two rows of razor-sharp teeth, and from a strong blow to the back, I rolled head over heels to the ground...
From the wild horror that gripped us, we rushed like bullets across a wide valley, not even thinking that we could quickly go to another “floor”... We simply did not have time to think about it - we were too scared.
The creature flew right above us, loudly clicking its gaping toothy beak, and we rushed as fast as we could, splashing vile slimy splashes to the sides, and mentally praying that something else would suddenly interest this creepy “miracle bird”... It was felt. that she was much faster and we simply had no chance to break away from her. As luck would have it, not a single tree grew nearby, there were no bushes, or even stones behind which one could hide, only an ominous black rock could be seen in the distance.
- There! – Stella shouted, pointing her finger at the same rock.
But suddenly, unexpectedly, right in front of us, a creature appeared from somewhere, the sight of which literally froze our blood in our veins... It appeared as if “straight out of thin air” and was truly terrifying... The huge black carcass was completely covered long, coarse hair, making him look like a pot-bellied bear, only this “bear” was as tall as a three-story house... The monster’s lumpy head was “crowned” with two huge curved horns, and the eerie mouth was decorated with a pair of incredibly long fangs, sharp as knives, just by looking to which, with fright, our legs gave way... And then, incredibly surprising us, the monster easily jumped up and... picked up the flying “muck” on one of its huge fangs... We froze in shock.
- Let's run!!! – Stella squealed. – Let’s run while he’s “busy”!..
