He shares a birthday with James Patrick Ambler, who is his maternal cousin and one year younger than him. He also shares a birthday with his other paternal cousin, Princess Madeleine of Sweden, who is 16 years his junior. He also shares a birthday with Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, who is 45 years his senior.


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:

  1. Hubertus: a nod to his uncle, who's fourth name is Hubertus.
  2. Gustav: for his maternal grandfather, Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten
  3. Adolf: for his maternal grandfather, Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten
  4. Veit: means South
  5. Georg: for his paternal great x4 grandfather, George, King of Saxony
  6. Meinrad: German for Strong, also one of his father's names
  7. Maria: seems to be tradition among the Hohenzollerns, also one of his father's names
  8. 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.
