Caroline of Monaco, her husband Ernst August of Hanover sentenced to 10 months

Still trouble for Ernst August of Hanover. Queen Elizabeth’s distant cousin – but banished to Buckignham Palace, it is said, for over a decade – has been sentenced to ten months in prison (suspended sentence) by an Austrian court. The reason? Aggression against a policeman and quarrel “in an evident state of alteration”. The facts date back to July 2020 when the prince – according to the official reconstruction – first injured a police officer while he was drunk and under the influence of drugs and then, five days later, he threatened another with a baseball bat. .

As reported by APA, it was the founder of the Hanoverian family who called the police, claiming that one of his employees wanted to kill him. But once the agents arrived on the scene, the 67-year-old German, husband of Caroline of Monaco, in an evident state of intoxication and under the influence of drugs, he began to insult and threaten them: he would then pass from words to deeds, attacking one of the policemen, who was injured.

In addition to the 10-month sentence, the prince was banned from drinking alcohol. His lawyers said the events occurred at a “bad time for the Prince of Hanover,” who said he felt abandoned by his family and son, as well as having been operated on for cancer. A defensive strategy to try to reduce the sentence, but that didn’t work. His eldest son was also present in court, Ernst August jr, still heir to properties such as the castle of Marienbourg, property that his father gave him in 2004 and which he would like to recover after having sued him for “ingratitude”. The relationship between the two, moreover, broke up years ago.

With Caroline of Monacoinstead, the marriage would have ended 10 years ago. But the two they never divorced officially. And the international press continues to ask itself why, periodically electing all the scandals of which the German aristocrat was the protagonist. In 1998 the noble hit a photographer with her umbrella, in 2000 he scored a double: in Kenya beat up the owner of a nightclub, in Germany he was caught while urinated in front of the Turkish pavilion at the Hanover Expo. In 2005, then, risked dying from a severe form of acute pancreatitis, a disease that occurs only for two causes: gallstones or alcoholism.

Then, in 2009, the magazine Colorful public a photo of Ernst from Hanover with a Romanian caller of the Club Babylon of Vienna. Carolina only had to leave her husband. In 2015 however they returned together. Even if they haven’t been seen together for over ten years. The last couple shots date back to June 2009. As far as is known, not even the party for their only daughter’s 18 years, Alexandra of Hanover, in 2017, he managed to reunite the two. Yet the princess does not want to divorce. It would be she who does not want to dissolve the bond of a marriage that has not existed for some time. Why, according to gossip, “he would not want to lose the title of Royal Highness”, higher than her due as a daughter of Rainier III of Monaco.

Ernst di Hanover it also has an estimated assets of 350 million euros. And, according to the German press, his wife may one day touch the management, if he because of his excesses definitely lost control. But it’s just the rumors of gossip.
