Schönburg-Glauchau Tiara 

Happy Birthday to Princess Marie Louise of Prussia, Countess of Schönburg-Glauchau, who turns 80 today! The Prussian Princess married to the uncle of the Count of Schönburg-Glauchau, Princess Marie Louise  has often worn the spectacular Schönburg-Glauchau Tiara!

The magnificent Diamond Flower Tiara likely dates from the 19th century and was an heirloom of the Schönburg-Glauchau Family that they were able to take with them into exile after being expropriated  from their centuries-old seat, Schloss Rochsburg, in 1945.

The Diamond Floral Tiara was notably worn by Countess Beatrix Széchenyi de Sárvár-Felsővidék when she married the Count of Schönburg-Glauchau in 1957.

In 1971, the Schönburg-Glauchau Tiara was worn by Princess Marie Louise of Prussia when she married Count Rudolf of Schönburg-Glauchau at Schloss Donaueschingen.

Countess Beatrix also likely wore the Schönburg-Glauchau Tiara for the Ball at Schloss St. Emmeram in Regensberg after the Wedding of her daughter, Countess Gloria von Schönburg-Glauchau, to the Prince of Thurn und Taxis in 1980.

Countess Beatrix wore the Schönburg-Glauchau Tiara for a Gala celebrating her 80th Birthday at Schloss St. Emmeram in 2010, held by her daughter, Gloria, the Princess von Thurn und Taxis.

Princess Marie Louise again wore the Schönburg-Glauchau Tiara for the Wedding Ball of the Prince of Prussia and Princess Sophie of Isenburg in 2011.

Most recently, her daughter, Countess Sophie wore the Schönburg-Glauchau Tiara for her Wedding to Carles Andreu Alacreu in Madrid in 2013. Let’s hope we see the Tiara worn again soon!

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
