Life and family

Prince Marco was born in Madrid, Spain, on 8 March 1962. He was the eldest son of Prince Max of Hohenlohe-Langenburg by his then wife Ana Luisa de Medina y Fernández de Córdoba, 12th Marquise of Navahermosa and 10th Countess of Ofalia (1940−2012), the eldest child of the 18th Duchess of Medinaceli.
