"Haus Hannover". C.A. Starke Verlag, 2007, pp. 22–26. ISBN 978-3-7980-0841-0.〕 He is the second in the line of succession to the former Hanoverian throne, after his elder brother Prince Ernst Augustr. As a descendant of George III of the United Kingdom, Prince Christian is also in the line of succession to the British throne. == Early life and education == Prince Christian of Hanover was born Christian Heinrich Clemens Paul Frank Peter Welf Wilhelm Ernst Friedrich Franz on 1 June 1985 in Hildesheim, Lower Saxony, West Germany.〔 His parents Ernst August, Prince of Hanover, and Chantal, Princess of Hanover (''née'' Hochuli), an heiress to Swiss chocolate company, divorced on 23 October 1997.〔 Less than two years later, on 23 January 1999, his father married Princess Caroline of Monaco, from whom he is currently separated. Prince Christian has one elder brother, Prince Ernst August, and a younger half-sister from his father's second marriage, Princess Alexandra of Hanover. He also has two stepbrothers and one stepsister — Andrea, Pierre and Charlotte Casiraghi — from Princess Caroline's previous marriage. Through his father, Prince Christian is a descendant of George III of the United Kingdom, William II, German Emperor, Christian IX of Denmark and Victoria of the United Kingdom.〔Willis, Daniel A., ''The Descendants of King George I of Great Britain'', Clearfield Company, 2002, p. 73.
