The romantic society wedding of Duchess Marie-Amélie of Württemberg to Baron Franz-Ferdinand von Feilitzsch took place in Altshausen, Germany, last week.
The bride Marie-Amelie, a descendant of one of Germany’s many defunct royal families, was the epitome of elegance in her A-line gown, which was also worn by her mother Princess Wilhelmine Marie zu Wied on her wedding day. The crowning glory was her twinkling Württemberg Diamond Tiara, which has been worn by members of the aristocracy dynasty for more than 60 years.
As the father-of-the-bride is sadly deceased, Duchess Marie-Amélie of Württemberg, also known as Amelie, was walked down the aisle by her brother Wilhelm, who succeeded their grandfather Carl as the Duke of Württemberg in June 2022.
The duchess, a concert violinist, studied at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and the Royal Academy of Music in London. Little is known about her new husband but he is the son of Baron Louis-Ferdinand Lazarus von Feilitzsch.
