Wedding of Prince Philipp of Prussia

Royal and Noble Guests and Relatives celebrated the Wedding of Prince Philipp of Prussia and Aline von Alvensleben at the Cathédrale Saint-Tugdual de Tréguier in Brittany on August 9th.

Prince Philipp of Prussia, a great-great-grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II, married Aline von Alvensleben, a descendant of Count Albrecht von Alvensleben-Schönborn, at the Cathédrale Saint-Tugdual de Tréguier in Brittany.

A special day for the Hohenzollern Family: On August 9th 2025, Prince Philipp von Preußen married Aline von Alvensleben in Tréguier, Brittany.

Historical connections between the two families can be traced back to the 15th century.

The new Princess Aline wore the Prussian Clover Coronet

The bride wore the famous Clover Leaf Tiara, personally designed by Prince Philipp’s great-great-grandfather, Emperor Wilhelm II, and presented to his wife, Empress Augusta Victoria, as a gift for their silver wedding anniversary in 1906.

 

The Prussian Clover Coronet was designed by Kaiser Wilhelm II from Koch in 1906, as a Silver Anniversary present to Empress Augusta Victoria. The original Coronet featured four large diamond clovers with a base of diamond swages and smaller clovers, and shares design features with the Clover Coronet belonging to the other branch of the Hohenzollern Family, which may have inspired it’s design.

Empress Augusta Victoria wore the piece for official events and portraits, including her Lazlo painting as well as the Wedding of Prince Ernst August of Hanover and Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia in 1913.

The Prussian Clover Coronet was taken by the Empress into exile in the Netherlands, and after her death, it was next seen on Princess Kira of Prussia (born Grand Duchess Kira Kirillovna of Russia), who was married to the Kaiser’s grandson and successor, Prince Louis Ferdinand. Princess Kira notably wore the original version of the Coronet at a variety of events, including the Wedding Ball of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and Countess Helen zu Toerring-Jettenbach in 1956.

In the 1950s, parts of the Coronet could be used in two different tiaras, one of which was also worn by Princess Kira, including for King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid’s Silver Anniversary in 1960 and Queen Juliana’s Silver Anniversary in 1962.

The Clover Coronet has been frequently exhibited in recent years, but has yet to be worn by the current Princess of Prussia.

Aline von Alvensleben wore the Prussian Clover Coronet to marry Prince Philipp of Prussia in Brittany in 2025.
