Stephanie (Josepha Friederike Wilhelmine Antonia) (Portuguese: Estefânia) of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (15 July 1837, Krauchenwies, Sigmaringen - 17 July 1859, Lisbon) was Queen consort of Pedro V of Portugal.
Family
She was the eldest daughter of Karl Anton, Prince of Hohenzollern, Head of the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, and his wife Princess Josephine of Baden. Her maternal grandparents were Karl, Grand Duke of Baden and Stéphanie de Beauharnais.
She was also a younger sister of Leopold, Prince of Hohenzollern and an older sister of Carol I of Romania.
Marriage
On 18 May 1858, Stephanie married Pedro V of Portugal. Both bride and groom were a few months short of their twenty-first birthdays. She was received with much luxury and wrote home that the Portuguese understood luxury better than dignity. However she fell ill with diphtheria and died only a year later. During her short period as queen, she made herself a good name from the foundation of hospitals.
There were no children from this marriage. Her body was interred at the Braganza Pantheon inside the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora in Lisbon.
Pedro never married again and died of cholera on 11 November 1861. He was succeeded by his younger brother Luís I of Portugal.
