The Princely House of Radolin

[marquess]

Does anyone know if the princely line of this house is still extant? Wilhelm Joanne's-Hugo 2nd Prince died in 1965. The 1980 Furstliche Hauser shows two sons born to the latter in 1927 & 1933 respectively, yet it doesn't show the 3rd holder of the title nor is it listed as extinct?  I wonder if either of these 2 sons had legitimate male issue? I believe that this branch of the family is descended from Lucy Katherine WAKEFIELD, 2nd wife of the first Furst. 

[Paul Theroff]

The son born in 1927 died 2 July 2006. The death was announced in Münchner Merkur 5 July 2006, where he is called "Graf".

The "Fürst" title created in 1888 was tied to ownership of the Jarotschin estate; in other words, only the member of the family who possessed the estate was "Fürst". I believe that the family no lomnger possesses that estate.

In modern times many families take these titles tied to estates and treat them as if they were by primogeniture regardless of possession of the estate, but it seems that this family did not follow that practice.

The son born in 1933, Hubertus, may be still living.. at least I can find no death announcement for him.

[Paul Theroff]

... in the announcement the survivors were listed as his siblings Marie Elisabeth Gräfin von Radolin, Cäcilie Gräfin von Radolin and Hubertus Graf von Radolin.

His sisters both died in 2010.

[marquess]

Thank you very much Paul for all the information and the explanation of the rather feudal princely title attached to the estate. 

[Paul Theroff]

Here is how the title is described (in French) in the 1894 Almanach de Gotha:

or in German on page 437 of the 1894 Gothaische Genealogische Hofkalendar:
