Stanisław Albrecht "Stash" Radziwiłł (21 July 1914 – 27 July 1976) was a Polish former prince, born in Szpanów, Poland.

His parents were Janusz Franciszek, Prince Radziwiłł (1880-1967) and Anna, Princess Lubomirska (1882-1947). Stanisław had two elder brothers, Edmund Radziwill (1906-1971) and Ludwik Radziwill (1911-1928). His mother, who came from a Polish noble family, died in a Soviet labour camp in the USSR.[citation needed]

[edit] Marriages

Radziwill was married three times. His first wife was Rose de Monleon (1913—), a daughter of Guy, Count of Monleon. They married in 1940 and divorced in 1945; the marriage was annulled in 1958. She later married Baron de Chollet, a Swiss banker.[1]

His second wife was Grace Maria Kolin (b. 1923), whom he married in 1946 and divorced in 1959. They had one son, Jan Stanisław Albrycht Radziwiłł (b. 1947). She later married the 3rd Earl of Dudley (1894-1969) as his third wife.

For the third time, he was married on 19 March 1959, in Fairfax, Virginia, to Caroline Lee Bouvier Canfield (1933—); they divorced in 1974. They had two children, Anthony Radziwill (married Carole Ann DiFalco) and Anna Christina Radziwill (Mrs Ottavio Arancio).

[edit] Later life

Radziwill was one of the organisers of the Sikorski Historical Institute in London, England (see [2]) and founder of St. Anne's Church at Fawley Court, a school at Henley-on-Thames, England.

He died on 27 July 1976, in London, England at the age of 62. His body was interred in the crypt of St Anne's Church at Fawley Court. [1].

[edit] Title

Upon becoming a British citizen, Radziwill was unable to use his former title, without special license from the Queen.[3] As he did not receive such a dispensation, he was legally Mr. Radziwill, but was called Prince out of courtesy.
