Congratulations are in order for Prince Gustav and Princess Carina of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, who have welcomed a second child, a daughter

According to Danish media outlet Billet-Bladet, Gustav – who is the first cousin of King Frederik and the eldest child of Princess Benedikte – and his wife Carina became parents again on Friday 26 April. The couple's spokesperson announced that "everyone is doing well and is very happy".

The newborn girl, whose name has not yet been announced, was welcomed via surrogacy in the US, much like her older brother Prince Gustav Albrecht, who turns one at the end of this month. Little Gustav was also born Stateside in May 2023

The Danish royal family are yet to acknowledge the happy news on their social media accounts, although last summer in August, they did share official portraits from baby Prince Gustav's christening.

The post at the time revealed that the youngster was baptised at home, in Berleburg Castle in Germany, with his grandmother Princess Benedikte – the younger sister of Queen Margrethe – in attendance, as well as King Frederik and Queen Mary. 

Frederik and Mary's son Crown Prince Christian, who is one of baby Gustav's godparents, was also present.

Proud parents Gustav and Carina, both 55, married in June 2022, after nearly two decades together. They were unable to marry because of a strict rule implemented in the will of the Prince's grandfather, Prince Gustav Albrecht. 

The will stated that Gustav would be prevented from inheriting family property if he married someone not of Protestant, noble, and Aryan descent. His partner Carina, an American author and former model, is of Swedish and Mexican descent.

However, after a lengthy battle with certain members of his family, it was determined that Gustav met the conditions of the will and would inherit Berleburg Castle, where they now reside.

In April 2022, the Danish court confirmed that Gustav and Carina would marry in June of that year, first in a civil service followed by a religious ceremony in Bad Berleburg, a town in Germany.

They tied the knot in front of 80 guests, including King Frederik and Queen Mary, before going on to start their family.

A few things about Gustav and Carina:

The will of Gustav's grandfather was not overturned. The will said that if an heir was married, he had to be married to a woman who was of noble birth, protestant and German(ic) (it didn't actually say the word aryan). The court ruled that since Gustav was not married, this marriage clause did not apply to him.

Gustav's father's cousin had argued that Gustav and Carina's relationship should exclude him as they had long been living together 'like a married couple'.

What the will said was actually pretty standard for a head of a noble family at the time. But while most people would have gone with the time and changed their wills at some point, Prince Gustav Albrecht died during the war and due to him installing a pre-heir the will had to be applied when it's views were long outdated. (In the 1940s and decades after, all European Royal and Noble families had rules that said heirs would have to marry women of noble birth, and this also implied white and Christian.)

The Princes title of the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburgs are actually not titles recognized in Germany. All German noble families lost their titles in 1918, but in a compromise they were allowed to keep 'the titles' as part of their last names. Gustav, Carina and little Gustav Albrecht literally have 'Prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg' as their last name, but it's not a real title. As far as I know, Benedikte's children officially have the real HH Prince/ss styles/titles in Denmark, but I don't know if that would be hereditary. I don't think Queen Margrethe II took these away from Gustav, Alexandra and Nathalie, but also they would still be called Prince/ss by everyone in Denmark anyways, because of their German surname/title.

None of Princess Benedikte's descendants are in line of sucession to the Danish throne.
