Marriage and children

He married Princess Margarete Karola of Saxony, daughter of Frederick Augustus III of Saxony and Archduchess Luise, Princess of Tuscany,[1][2] on 2 June 1920 in Schloss Sibyllenort, Silesia, Germany.[1][2] Margarete's sister Princess Maria Alix of Saxony subsequently married his twin brother, Francis Joseph.

Romanian succession

In 1948, soon after the deposition of king Michael of Romania the line of succession was discussed during a meeting between Michael, his uncle Prince Nicholas of Romania, and Prince Frederick. Shortly after this meeting, the spokesman of King Carol II, in an interview with the French paper Le Figaro, expressed his strong support for Prince Frederick, additionally asserting that Michael would never regain the throne.[3]
