In fact I have now located some ancestors of Prince Alexander's widow.
She is a daughter of Aubrey Brooke Winch, OBE, Royal Scots Greys, by
his wife, Marie Elspeth Agnes Makgill, and is a granddaughter of Sir
George Makgill, 11th Baronet, (1868-1926). The Makgill baronets have
(in 1977) successfully claimed the Viscountcy of Oxfuird.

Steven, I may be mistaken but there are at least two possibilities.

Perhaps Graf Sebastian and his wife have had a child, not listed
earlier. Or Cyril de Commarque and Cecile Pzn zu
Hohenlohe-Langenburg, as you mentioned.
And, I also believe that Ferdinand von Waldburg zu Wolfegg und Waldsee
and Emma von Croy were divorced some time back.

I suppose if it's de Commarque we'll have to wait til the QVD update. If
Waldburg the child was presumably born since late 2000. Maybe there will be
a "proper" announcement in a German newspaper, with full descendant details.

The Waldburg/Croy divorce was oddly not mentioned in the 2001 Starke which
covered Waldburg (though there was a good deal else missing). I've never
seen even a year for this divorce.

I saw something about the parents being divorced a long time ago. I
may be mistaken of course, since I failed to make a note of it (I was
not then covering Waldburg and am not now).
As for Pzn Cecile, I saw a photograph of "Countesse Cyril de
Commarque" in May's Harper & Queen. Perhaps she is now using her
married style?

I went through the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the Süddeutsche
Zeitung, but there was nothing in there so far.
