Princess Katharina of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst (German: Katharina Wilhelmine Maria Josepha, Prinzessin von Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst (19 January 1817, Stuttgart – 15 February 1893, Freiburg im Breisgau) was a member of the House of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst by birth and a member of the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and Princess consort of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen by marriage.

Early life

Princess Katharina was the only daughter of Charles Albert III, Prince of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst (1776–1843) by his second marriage with Princess Leopoldine zu Fürstenberg (1791–1844).

Later life

After the separation of her parents she lived with her mother in Donaueschingen.

Personal life

In 1838 she married Franz Erwin, Count von Ingelheim; the marriage was childless. After the death of her first husband, she married in 1848 Charles, Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen as his second wife. Charles was a widower of Princess Marie Antoinette Murat, niece of Joachim Murat, King of the Two Sicilies, by whom he had had four children. For Katharina, this second marriage was also childless.

Widowhood

After Charles' death Katharina entered the convent of Sant'Ambrogio della Massima as a novice. However, she made a formal denunciation of the convent to the Catholic authorities, fleeing the convent in fear for her life after the nuns attempted to poison her. She died just eight months before the birth of her step-great-great-grandson, the future Carol II of Romania.[1]
