Prince Karl Emich of Leiningen (born ''Karl Emich Nikolaus Friedrich Hermann Prinz zu Leiningen''; June 12, 1952) is the eldest son of Emich, 7th Prince of Leiningen and his wife Duchess Eilika of Oldenburg, and is an elder brother of Andreas, 8th Prince of Leiningen.〔''Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels, Fürstliche Häuser'' XVII. "Hohenlohe". C.A. Starke Verlag, 2004, pp. 191, 249–251. ISBN 3-7980-0833-7.〕 He is a claimant to the defunct throne of the Russian Empire, held until 1917 by the Imperial House of Romanov, as a grandson of Grand Duchess Maria Kirillovna (1907-1951), eldest child of Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, who claimed the Russian crown from exile in 1924. He is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Alexander II of Russia. In 2013, the Monarchist Party of Russia declared him the primary heir to the Russian throne upon his conversion from Lutheranism to Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and in 2014 announced the formation of the ''Imperial Throne'', wherein Karl Emich had agreed to assume imperial dignity as ''Emperor Nicholas III''.〔http://imperor.net/en/latest-news/anton-bakov-establishment-state-russian-empire/, http://imperor.net/en/latest-news/leynina-kingdom/〕〔The title page of http://russianempire.org/ contains Supreme Manifesto of granting the Constitution to the Imperial Throne signed by His Imperial Majesty Nicholas III〕 ==Marriages and children== He married Princess Margarita of Hohenlohe-Oehringen on June 8, 1984. He had one daughter by this marriage, Princess Cécilia of Leiningen (b. 1988). Princess Margarita died in 1989 in a car accident.〔 On May 24, 1991, Prince Karl Emich married Dr. Gabriele Renate (Homey) Thyssen.〔 After an inheritance dispute, he desisted claim to the family's legacy in favour of his younger brother Andreas, 8th Prince of Leiningen. The couple had one daughter, Theresa Anna Elisabeth Prinzessin von Leiningen (b. 1992)〔〔http://www.william1.co.uk/g4.htm〕〔http://www.emmerdale.org/qvd.htm〕〔http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~conqueror/genealogy_html/i1090.html〕 In 1998, Karl Emich and Gabriele were divorced.〔 He married Countess Isabelle von und zu Egloffstein in a civil ceremony on 8 September 2007 in Amorbach, and in a religious ceremony on 7 June 2008 in Pappenheim (she descends from the counts of Pappenheim). In 2010, they had a son, Prince Emich of Leiningen. When they wed, Gabriele Thyssen was a Roman Catholic and Karl Emich a British dynast, as a legitimate descendant of George II of Great Britain (through his daughter Anne, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange , ancestress of Karl Emich's grandfather Karl, Prince of Leiningen ), at which time a provision of the Act of Settlement 1701 stipulated that in the event the British crown is to devolve upon an heir married to "a Papist", that heir is permanently disabled from succeeding to the throne, which would pass instead to the next Protestant in the order of succession who had not been married to a Roman Catholic. The Succession to the Throne Act, 2013 repealed that marital restriction (also embodied in the Bill of Rights 1689), with retroactive effect, as of 26 March 2015.〔(Statement by Nick Clegg MP, UK parliament website ), 26 March 2015 (retrieved on same date).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prince Karl Emich of Leiningen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
