   Salzburg, Austria (ots) -

   Princely-Facts by WALDEMAR PRINZ ZU SCHAUMBURG-LIPPE, Head of the
Schaumburg-Lippe Nachod-Line in Germany and former Royal Photographer
of Her Majesty the Queen, Margrethe II of Denmark.

   Alexander Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe, speaking about "Prince Max"
(abbreviation for: Doctor of law, Mario-Max Prince Schaumburg-Lippe),
is a normal resident and citizen of the republic of Germany. There is
neither a real or an unreal prince and today there exist about 30
Schaumburg-Lippe family-members. They are divided into the
Nachod-Line AND the Bueckeburg-Line. Neither one person is the "only"
Schaumburg-Lippe as mentioned. Alexander claims himself "head of the
house of Schaumburg-Lippe", but forgets that there is another head of
Schaumburg-Lippe: Nachod-Line (that Mario-Max in fact belongs to!).

   The mentioned "Palais Schaumburg" in Salzburg is an acknowledged
national historical landmark building from the 14th century and a
part of the UNESCO ́s world cultural heritage.

   During the visit of Waldemar Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe (son of Her
Royal Highness Princess Feodora of Denmark and Christian Prinz zu
Schaumburg-Lippe; Nachod-Line) in Salzburg, he was emphazized by the
beauties of the magnificent 33 rooms which where all in brilliant
condition.

   Princess Helga-Lee: Philantropist Helga-Lee Prinzessin zu
Schaumburg-Lippe, who has never been quoted as "a german woman" by
anybody at all, was married to the Austrian Max Prinz zu
Schaumburg-Lippe (Nachod-Line), who died in 1974. Helga-Lee descended
of Gouverneur and Admiral Miller (grandfather) of Maryland. She was a
Colonial Dame of America (real Mayflower's Edward Winslow) and a
beloved and highly-respected member of the Schaumburg-Lippe family.
Until her 94th birthday Helga-Lee Prinzesin zu Schaumburg-Lippe was
in a brilliant condition which she showed during her visit to her
american friends, as well as during her charity-works in the USA.
Mario-Max just recently had a fabulous charity-success for kids in
india, a riksha was donated to bring food to the streets.

   Adoption: Her wish of giving natural birth was unfortunately not
becoming true, and since then she decided together with her husband
to adopt a heir  to continue their heritage. She also thought to
adopt Waldemar Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe, which was not happening
then.

   But she continued to look for the right adoptive-son to succeed
her. So finally she adopted Mario-Max in 2001 by offical court
decision in Austria.

   Acceptance by the family: Waldemar Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe (head
of the family ́s Nachod-Line in Germany) fully acknowledged the
adoption of Mario-Max Prince Schaumburg-Lippe, by his beloved aunt
Helga-Lee Prinzessin zu Schaumburg-Lippe, and accepts Mario-Max as
full and equal family-member of the Nachod-Line. To adopt somebody is
not unusual amongst different closely related historical-families in
Germany and Austria, as there are several legitimate adopted children
more since generations. Mario-Max together with his adoptive mother
Helga-Lee, have also been friendly welcomed by Wilhelm Prinz zu
Schaumburg-Lippe (Head of the house Schaumburg-Lippe in Denmark) and
his wife Ilona at their daughters residence, who both live in
Denmark.

   Alexander: During an official party in Germany, not Mario-Max, but
Alexander Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe, was seen on German TV in a
controversial discussion, which lasted for a very long time, with his
former girlfriend Jette in front of the filming camera. It was
horrible and distgusting for the TV-audience to see that. He should
know "noblesse oblige". This scene was embarrassing and cheap, and
most Schaumburg-Lippe ́s family members where shocked about his bad
behaviour in public.

   Alexander Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe, Bueckeburg-Line, presumes to
speak as family-head for all the members of the Schaumburg-Lippe

family without any consultation of them. Unfortunately he forgets
that there are two houses Schaumburg-Lippe: Bueckeburg and
Nachod-Branch. The Nachod-Branch members are not conform with his
uncorrect statements he makes about Helga-Lee Prinzessin zu
Schaumburg-Lippe and Mario-Max!  He does good charity work and just
joined forces with Ivana Trump, Liza Minnelli and Denise Rich for
that cause. And they are very upset, that he neglects the totally
equally ranked Nachod-Line, because Alexander has no allowance to
speak in their name at all.

   Royalty: My mother Her Royal Highness, Princess Feodora of
Denmark, married to my father Christian Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe
(former head of the Nachod-Line), was the only real "Royal"
Schaumburg-Lippe family member.

   Alexander is NOT a "Royal" person at all, as he only belongs to
the Bueckeburg-branch!

   For your information: In 1918 the country "Principality
Schaumburg-Lippe" has been abolished by constitution in Germany like
all other german countries (all becoming the federal republic of
Germany!).
