Cleopatra of Adelsheim it’s not the kind of aristocratic who lives in nostalgia for a past that he has never known and that will never come back. Just see hers Instagram account, which boasts over 23,000 followers and from which a young multitasking woman emerges. The model of contemporary reality.
On the other hand, drawing a portrait of Cleopatra is not very easy. Thirty-four years, Swiss, Baroness by birth and Princess of Oettingen by marriage, actress and model by vocation, attentive and caring mother, friend of principe Harry and Beatrice Borromeo, is divided between the many work commitments and the castle of Oettingen, in Bavaria, where she lives with her husband Franz Albrecht, 39, Crown Prince of Oettinbgen-Spilberg and their two sons Matilde Galilea, 4, and Louis, 2.
In a long conversation with Paloma Simón on the Spanish version of Vanity Fair, she told herself thus: “My father (Baron Louis von Adelsheim, ed) is Swiss-German and my mother (Lillian-Elena Baettig-Rodriguez, ed) is Chilean. I am cream to bern, when I was two I moved to Santiago de Chile where I went to a British school, and from there to Marbella, where we lived for a year, before studying at Salem Castle School … come la regina Sofia!».
Even the name, Cleopatra (Cleo for friends and family members) reveals a lot about his family. It was given to her by parents because they are passionate about Egypt, where they also lived for a few years. His parents have profoundly influenced his path. The father is a director, the mother was an actress and a model. That’s why, as soon as she graduated, Cleo chose to pursue a career as a model in Paris, for the maison Hermès, and then attended a acting course in Barcelona, Where he shot several TV commercials before attempting to enroll at the prestigious Juan Carlos Corazza school in Madrid. “I was very excited to have been accepted after several days of testing and auditions, but it was born there opportunity to shoot a film in Germany and a contract with a modeling agency in Berlin, and I preferred to work, ”she said. The film, shot for German television, was called Princess Maleen. An adaptation of a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm that achieved great success in Germany and made her a well-known face.
Inevitable for the media was the juxtaposition between the baroness and the Princess Sissi, or rather Romy Schneider, with which the similarity is remarkable. A combination that Cleo has pushed away: “I would not like to reincarnate in any historical figure, I appreciate today’s technology and advances too much. In my case, being a princess doesn’t define me as a person, it simply involves some representative responsibilities and tasks ”.
Of course, the July 2016 wedding with Prince Franz-Albrecht von Oettingen-Spielberg seemed like a fairy tale, thin blond hair, dazzling smile, scion of one of the most ancient and noble families of Bavaria. With ceremony in St Jakob’s Cathedral in Oettingen and reception in the baroque castle which has belonged to the in-laws since the 17th century. Eight hundred guests, many crowned heads and well-known personalities, from Lapo Elkann with then-girlfriend Shermine Shahrivar al Prince Harry of England (without Meghan). Cleo speaks of the Duke of Sussex as of “a very funny person and a good person. I met him years ago through my husband, and every time we meet we have a great time“. Bridesmaids at the wedding two other young royals, Princess Isabella Gaetani von Lobkowicz and Beatrice Borromeo, her great friends.
Today Cleopatra von Adelsheim is divided between her two children, a career, travels and life in the Oettingen castle. His days in the palace, to hear his stories, are quite ordinary: “I have breakfast with the kids, take them to school, work in my office, do yoga, I take care of ours three dogs, I take the children back from school, take a bath, give them dinner and put them to bed ». A routine from which he escapes when he indulges in his hidden passion: organizing parties. “It is important that the dinner is not too long, that the dance floor is not too large and that the assistants do not have to wait outside to be able to go home at four in the morning …”. For the his marriage Cleo had turned a wing of the castle into a wood and hired the Italian DJ Matteo Ceccarini. The guests left the party only at 8.00 in the morning of the following day.
