Prince Ernst August: After the intensive care unit - family is united!

Prince Ernst August von Hannover (71) has been in the intensive care unit of the "Clínica Ruber Internacional" in Madrid since April 3, 2025. According to reports, the Welfen Prince has received medical care there due to suspicion of acute kidney failure. Despite its critical state of health, there is no official diagnosis. His partner, Claudia Stilianopoulos, as well as his younger son Christian von Hannover (39) are at his side in this difficult time, while the eldest son, hereditary prince Ernst August Junior (41), is not present.

The situation was described as serious by Claudia Stilianopoulos, who is often present in the hospital, but not as life -threatening. In the past, the health state of the prince has resulted in several hospital stays, including a pancreatitis in 2005 and heart surgery in 2016. It has now been moved from the intensive care unit to a normal hospital room, which is a positive sign for his recovery. According to information from various media, including "Hola", "Vanitatis" and "Bild", his condition was stabilized.

family conflicts and attempts at reconciliation

The relationship between Ernst August Senior and his sons, especially Erbon Prince Ernst August Junior, is considered burdened. In the past, there have been public disputes that led to a lawsuit to return from Welfen ownership in 2017, which was withdrawn in 2022. The conflict escalated when the hereditary prince tried to sell Marienburg Castle to the state of Lower Saxony, which was disapproved by the senior.

observers interpret the regular visits by Christian von Hanover during her father's illness as a sign of a possible approach between family members. However, the tense relationships between Ernst August Junior and his father are still noticeable. In the meantime, Ernst August's daughter Alexandra (25), who was followed by a model career and recently shown on the cover of the Spanish "Elle", has so far been unnoticed and has not been seen in the hospital.
