'''Otto Heinrich, Prince Consort of Italy''' (born ''Prince Otto Heinrich of Hanover'' on 13 February 1988) is a member of the Italian Royal Family as the current Prince consort. He is also a member of the Hanoverian Royal Family as the nephew of '''[[Ernest Augustus V, King of Hanover]]'''.

==Life==
Otto Heinrich was born the only child of '''Prince Ludwig Rudolph of Hanover''' and '''Countess Isabella of Valassina-Como-Vercelli'''. 

On 29 November 1988, Princess Isabella died of a drug overdose. That same night, while authorities were investigating the death, Prince Ludwig Rudolph slipped away and was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound a few miles away. Subsequently, Otto Heinrich was taken into the household of the King and Queen of Hanover, and raised alongside their children.

Shortly before his 2012 wedding, his future father-in-law, '''King Victor Emmanuel IV of Italy''', made Otto Heinrich a Prince of Sardinia and Italy in his own right and bestowed upon him the ancestral title of Duke of Savoy.  

==Marriage and Issue==
On 16 June 2012, Otto Heinrich married '''Victoria, Princess of Piedmont''' in Rome. Victoria and Otto Heinrich have four children, '''Umberto, Felicitas, Giovanna,''' and '''Isabella'''.
