Early life [edit]
Saskia's parents Prince Welf and Princess Wibke became followers of a religious sect led by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.[2] When Saskia was five, the family relocated to the sect's ashram in Poona, India.[2] After her father's death in 1981, Saskia and her mother moved with Bhagwan and the sect to the Rajneeshpuram compound in Oregon. After several years at Rajneeshpuram, Saskia's paternal grandparents Prince George William of Hanover and Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark were able to send her to England to attend school.

Saskia's first husband was Michael Alexander Robert Naylor-Leyland[3] (born 14 July 1956 in London), a hotel manager in London, the Lanesborough House. The couple had two children:
