Included amongst the guests was Joachim’s first cousin Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia, who is the current head of the Hohenzollern family. 

On Tuesday, he lost a court bid for the return of a castle overlooking the Rhine valley, part of which has been turned into a hotel. 

The largely ruined Rheinfels Castle, which is set high above the most picturesque stretch of the Rhine and was once a property of the Hohenzollern family, has been owned by the town of St. Goar since 1924.

The castle was part of the family property seized by authorities in November 1918, when the German monarchy ended with Wilhelm’s forced abdication.  

Included amongst the guests was Joachim's first cousin Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia, who is the current head of the Hohenzollern family, and his wife Sophie, Princess of Prussia

Kaiser Wilhelm II was the eldest grandson of Queen Victoria, whose family ruled over Europe throughout the 1800s and early 1900s.  

But by the end of 1918, and with millions dead and Europe in ruins, the Hohenzollerns rule of Germany had officially come to an end. 

After the Kaiser’s abdication in 1918, both he and his family fled to the Netherlands.

Had the laws on succession changed earlier, the descendants of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter could have been on the British throne today.
