Prince of Great Britain and Ireland wasrecognised ad personam for Ernst August's fatherand his father's siblings by King George V of theUnited Kingdom on 17 June 1914.[9] His fatherwas deprived of that title under George V's letterspatent of 1917, dated 30 November,[10] while thehereditary Dukedom of Cumberland andTeviotdale and the Earldom of Armagh, borne in1917 by his paternal greatgrandfather, weresuspended under the Titles Deprivation Act 1917.However, on 29 August 1931, his grandfatherErnest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick, as head ofthe House of Hanover, declared the formalresumption, for himself and his dynasticdescendants, of use of his former British princelytitle as a secondary title of pretense,[6] whichstyle, "Royal Prince of Great Britain and Ireland",his grandson Ernst August continued to claim.[11]As it was entered into their German passports in1914, the title still continues to be part of theirofficial family name in Germany.
As heir of the last Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale and Earl of Armagh, Ernst August has the rightto petition under the Titles Deprivation Act 1917 for the restoration of his ancestors' suspended Britishpeerages, but he has not done so. His father, also called Ernst August, did, however, successfully claimBritish nationality after World War II by virtue of a hitherto overlooked (and since repealed) provision ofthe Sophia Naturalization Act 1705 (AttorneyGeneral v HRH Prince Ernest Augustus of Hanover[1957] 1 All ER 49).
Ernst August is also a greatgrandson of the last German emperor, Emperor Wilhelm II.[6] His father'ssister was Frederica of Hanover (1917–1981), sometime queen consort of the Hellenes, and he is thus afirst cousin of both exKing Constantine II and his sister, Queen Sophia, whose husband Juan Carlos Iabdicated his throne in favour of their son, Felipe VI of Spain in 2014. Ernst August's uncle, PrinceGeorge William of Hanover (1915–2006), married Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark (1914–2001), a sister of the future royal consort Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, evoking in 1946 the onlyknown case of a British monarch, George VI, withholding requested permission for a kinsman'smarriage under the Royal Marriages Act 1772 (on the advice of his Government as a result of World WarII's hostilities).[12] It was held by British officials at the time that the marriage and its issue would not belegitimate in the United Kingdom despite being legal in Germany.[13]
Family
By a 24 August 1981 declaration issued by his father as the Head of House, pursuant to Chapter 3, §§ 3and 5 of the House laws of 1836, Ernst August was authorised to marry dynastically, and did firstlymarry, civilly on 28 August 1981 and religiously on 30 August 1981, Chantal Hochuli (b. 2 June 1955 inZurich), the daughter and heiress of a Swiss real estate developer. They had two sons:
Prince Ernst August Andreas Philipp Constantin Maximilian Rolf Stephan Ludwig Rudolph(born 19 July 1983)Prince Christian Heinrich Clemens Paul Frank Peter Welf WilhelmErnst Friedrich Franz (born 1

June 1985)
Ernst August and Chantal Hochuli divorced on 23 October 1997.
He married secondly, civilly in Monaco on 23 January 1999, Princess Caroline of Monaco, who was atthe time expecting the birth of their child:
Princess Alexandra Charlotte Ulrike Maryam Virginia (born 20 July 1999)
As he was born in the male line of George II of Great Britain, he sought permission to marry pursuant tothe British Royal Marriages Act 1772, which would not be repealed until the Succession to the CrownAct 2013 took effect on 26 March 2015.[14] On 11 January 1999, Queen Elizabeth II issued a Declarationin Council, "My Lords, I do hereby declare My Consent to a Contract of Matrimony between His RoyalHighness Prince Ernst August Albert of Hanover, Duke of BrunswickLuneburg and Her SereneHighness Princess Caroline Louise Marguerite of Monaco..."[15] Without the Royal Assent, the marriagewould have been void in Britain where Ernst August's family owns property and his lawful descendantsremain in succession to both the British crown and the two suspended peerages.[16] Similarly theMonégasque court officially notified the government of France of Caroline's marriage to Ernst August,receiving assurance that there was no objection in compliance with the (since defunct) FrancoMonegasque Treaty of 1918. Moreover, in order for Caroline to retain her claim to the throne of Monacoand to transmit succession rights to future offspring, the couple were also obliged to obtain the approvalof yet a third nation, in the form of official consent to the marriage of Caroline's father, Prince Rainier IIIas the sovereign of Monaco.[4]
Nonetheless, Caroline was a Roman Catholic and Ernst August the heir male of George III when thecouple wed, at which time a provision of the Act of Settlement 1701 stipulated that in the event theBritish crown is to devolve upon an heir married to "a Papist", that heir is permanently disabled fromsucceeding to the throne, which would pass instead to the next Protestant in the order of succession whohad not been married to a Roman Catholic. The Succession to the Throne Act of 2013 likewise repealedthat marital restriction (also embodied in the Bill of Rights 1689), with retroactive effect, as of 26 March2015.[14]
On 28 November 1988, while authorities removed the body of Princess Isabella of Hanover (1962–1988) from the home in Gmunden, northern Austria she had shared with her husband, Ernst August'syounger brother Prince Ludwig Rudolph of Hanover, and investigated the drug strewn scene, LudwigRudolph, distraught over his wife's apparently accidental heroin overdose, placed a call to his brother inLondon, imploring him to take care of the couple's 10monthold son.[17][18] Then he fled. Hours laterLudwig Rudolph was found dead, apparently a victim of suicide, near his family's hunting lodge severalmiles away, on Lake Traun.[17][17][19] Custody of their infant son Otto Heinrich was eventually awarded,contrary to the expressed wishes of Ludwig Rudolph as the surviving parent and Ernst August's legalefforts, to the child's maternal grandparents, Count Ariprand (1925–1996) and Countess Maria vonThurn und ValsassinaComoVercelli (born 1929), to be raised at their family seat, Bleiburg Castle insouthern Austria.[18]
In September 2009 it was reported in the French and English press that Ernst August has been livingseparately from his wife Caroline, who had returned to Monaco.[20]

He was photographed urinating on the Turkish Pavilion at the Expo 2000 event in Hanover, causing adiplomatic incident and a complaint from the Turkish embassy accusing him of insulting the Turkishpeople. He successfully sued those who published (BildZeitung) the photograph for invasion of privacy,obtaining an award of 9,900 euros, although the paper had previously published a photo of Ernst Augusturinating outside a hospital in Austria.[21]
In 2004, he was convicted of aggravated assault and causing grievous bodily harm after supposedlybeating a man with a knuckleduster.[22][23] He has demanded a retrial for the case on the basis of falseevidence. His lawyers have publicly stated that he has never owned a knuckle duster in his life nor heldone in his hand.[23]
Health
On Monday, 3 April 2005, Ernst August was admitted to hospital with acute pancreatitis. The next day,he fell into a deep coma, two days before the death of his fatherinlaw, Rainier III, Prince of Monaco.On Friday, 8 April 2005, hospital officials reported that he was no longer in a coma but remained inintensive care. A report the same day on BBC World described his condition as "serious but notirreversible." On 9 April 2005, according to a report on BBC, a hospital spokesman reported that ErnstAugust was receiving "permanent medical care." He has since been released and was subsequently seenin public with his wife.

15. QueeninCouncil. 11 January 1999. OrderinCouncil.16. According to a Home Office memorandum on the matter, "All the descendants of a British prince require the
consent, even if he has become a foreign Sovereign and his family have lived abroad for generations. Thus theHanoverian Royal Family, who are descended from George III's son, the Duke of Cumberland, who succeededto the throne of Hanover on the accession of Queen Victoria, have regularly obtained the King's consent totheir marriages: in 1937 Princess Frederica of Hanover, greatgreat granddaughter of George III and 3rdcousin once removed of the King, asked his consent to her wedding with the Crown Prince of Greece, Itseems absurd that the King's consent should be obtained for a purely foreign marriage of this kind; one canonly suppose that as the marriage would not be valid in the British Dominions without it, the object is tosecure the position of the issue as Princes or Princesses of Great Britain (which rank is much valued on theContinent) and possibly to retain their place in the line of succession to the British Throne. Obviously theabsence of the Royal Consent required by British law could not affect the validity of a marriage contractedabroad so far as the law of the country of domicile of the parties is concerned. It should be noted here that theAct applies to all marriages in which one of the parties is a descendant of George II, whether contracted inGreat Britain or abroad. See as to this the decision of the House of Lords, given after taking the opinion of theJudges, in the Sussex Peerage case (xi Clark and Finelly, 85 ff.)" Eagleston, Arthur J.
