His father, a direct mal descendent of the Hanoverian kings of Great Britain from George I to George III was born a British prince, confirmed by George V in 1914, but as a child lost the title due to the Titles Deprivation Act (1917). The House of Hanover refuses to recognise this letter and continues to bear the title of Prince (or Princess) of Great Britain and Ireland with the style of Royal Highness as titles of pretense. As it was entered into their German passports in 1914, the title still continues to be part of their official family name in Germany.

The company publishes books, monographs, historiographies, memoirs, illustrated books and films.[2] Furthermore he is responsible for a website on the House of Welf called Welfen.de[3]
