Thankyou very much for clearing this up :)

Players (Methuselahs) contest cards.
Vampires contest titles.
A single vampire cannot contest a title with himself - he'd lose
the old title as soon as he gained the (second copy of the same) new
title.
Two vampires under the same controller can contest a title, however.
A Methuselah could bring out both the Prince of New York and the
Archbishop of New York, for instance. Or one of her vampires could,
as in your example, seize Praxis on one of her other controlled
vampire's prince titles.
On the Methuselahs untap phase, both could yield, both could contest,
or one could yield and the other pay to contest. In the third case,
the one who paid to contest would not gain the benefit of the contested
title until the *following* untap phase. [4.2]

The problem here is that Wilhem Waldburg is the prince of Berlin not Boston.
Once you get past that I am sure LSJ will have an answer for you.
