Princess Alexandra of Hanover (Alexandra Charlotte Ulrike Maryam Virginia; born 20 July 1999) is the only child of Princess Caroline of Monaco and Prince Ernst August, heir to the throne of the defunct Kingdom of Hanover. She was born in Vöcklabruck, Upper Austria.
Alexandra was christened on 19 September 1999 in a ceremony at her father's hunting lodge Auerbach, near Grünau im Almtal, Upper Austria. Her godparents are her paternal aunt Alexandra, Princess of Leiningen, maternal half-sister Charlotte Casiraghi, Ulrike Ulmschneider, Maryam Sachs, Virginia Gallico, George Condo, and Eric Maier. She was named after her godmothers.
She has half-siblings from each of her parents' previous marriages. From Prince Ernst's previous marriage, she has two half-brothers, Hereditary Prince Ernst August and Prince Christian of Hanover. From Princess Caroline's previous marriage, she has two half-brothers, Andrea and Pierre Casiraghi, and one half-sister, Charlotte Casiraghi.
Alexandra is the only one of Princess Caroline's four children who bears any style or title. While she is formally styled as "Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra of Hanover" in Monaco, she is afforded the style and title out of courtesy elsewhere, as the kingdom of Hanover no longer exists, the title is not legally recognized. She is ninth in the line of succession to the Monegasque throne. Through her father, she is in the line of succession to the British throne.
