Early life and education

Birstein Castle

Sophie Johanna Maria of Isenburg was born on 7 March 1978 in Frankfurt, West Germany, to Franz-Alexander, Prince of Isenburg (1943-2018), and his wife, Countess Christine Saurma, Baroness von und zu der Jeltsch (born 1941). Her father was the head of the Birstein branch of the House of Isenburg, a mediatized Catholic line of Princes of the Holy Roman Empire, who lost their independence in 1815. She has two sisters, Archduchess Katharina of Austria-Este and Isabelle, Dowager Princess of Wied, and two brothers, Alexander, 10th Prince of Isenburg, and Prince Viktor.

Growing up at Birstein Castle, the family seat in Hesse, Sophie studied at a primary school in Birstein and at Marienschule Fulda in Fulda. She then attended the boarding school Kloster Wald and passed her A-Levels as well as a trade test as a dressmaker. Sophie studied Business Administration at the University of Freiburg and Humboldt University of Berlin and worked at a firm that offers consulting services for nonprofit business.

Marriage and issue

On 25 August 2011, Sophie civilly married Georg Friedrich Prinz von Preussen, at Potsdam's Stadthaus by Jann Jakobs, Mayor of Potsdam. The religious wedding took place at the Church of Peace on 27 August 2011, in commemoration of the 950th anniversary of the founding of the House of Hohenzollern. The wedding was covered live by German broadcaster RBB. The 700 guests included: Prince Hassan bin Talal and Princess Sarvath al-Hassan of Jordan; Prince Laurent of Belgium; Lord and Lady Nicholas Windsor; and then Crown Princess Margareta of Romania. Following the ceremony, a reception was held on the grounds of the Sanssouci palace.
