Life[edit | edit source]
In 2023, Bavarian succession law was changed to allow for female succession. Shortly after, Albrecht's sister-in-law, Sophie, Hereditary Princess of Liechtenstein, renounced succession rights for herself and her descendants in favor of Albrecht's wife. Later that month, the Wurttemberg court announced that Albrecht and his family would move to Bavaria to support King Franz and Crown Prince Max.
In 2024, upon their move to Bavaria, King Franz bestowed the title of Prince/Princess of Bavaria on Albrecht and his children.
Marriage and Issue[edit | edit source]
On 27 July 1991, Albrecht married Princess Marie Caroline of Bavaria in Munich. Albrecht and Marie Caroline have four children, Sophie, Pauline, Carl Theodor, and Anna.
