As a German prince with Swedish blood, he probably speaks German and Swedish. As titles are not recognized, his style in Germany is: Hubertus Gustav Adolf Veit Georg Meinrad Maria Alexander Prinz von Hohenzollern.
He was likely named:
- Hubertus: a nod to his uncle, who's fourth name is Hubertus.
- Gustav: for his maternal grandfather, Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten
- Adolf: for his maternal grandfather, Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten
- Veit: means South
- Georg: for his paternal great x4 grandfather, George, King of Saxony
- Meinrad: German for Strong, also one of his father's names
- Maria: seems to be tradition among the Hohenzollerns, also one of his father's names
- Alexander: no idea, possibly the same as Prince Alexander of Sweden.
He has no official role in Sweden or Germany, however he does attend royal events such as weddings and funerals.
