Bückeburg
In some places the Christmas fun has already started. In the last days several Christmas fairs or markets and other Christmas events passed on social media. Therefore a post here with some that are being organized at palaces or castles. It seems many have a limited amount of tickets available, so if you plan to […]
When walking from the railway station to the old city centre/Palace of Bückeburg there is one short stop us royalty-watchers should make. Somewhere halfway is a house with a plaque on the wall saying (in German): Luise von LehzenEducator to the QueenVictoria of Great Britainlived in this housefrom 1842 until 1870 Johanna Clara Louise Lehzen […]
There was more than one reason that my 34th royal wedding in more than twenty years time was even more exciting than before. I can’t even remember that there has ever been such a huge gap between two weddings. There were also years in which I enjoyed seeing more than one wedding. My full list […]

Due to Covid-19 they have postponed their religious wedding and huge celebrations to 2021, so the wedding celebrations this year have been altered.

Although the marriage of the Fürst zu Schaumburg-Lippe has unfortunately ended, I still have good memories of my first visit to his main residence, the small town of Bückeburg, not that far from Hannover, Germany. In the days around the wedding on 30 June 2007 my friends and I had a real good time. We […]
In the gardens of the Bückeburg Palace of the Fürsten zu Schaumburg-Lippe visitors will find an impressive building. The biggest private mausoleum in the world is the burial place of the family. The mausoleum was erected by the last reigning Fürst Adolf and built between 1911 and 1916. The architect of he building was Paul […]
Nothing is worse than already having booked hotel and train/plane in advance of a wedding, and then new details come to light. It actually happened to me almost ten years ago.
