He married Princess Alexandra of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg on 6 June 1998,[2] thus becoming the husband of a member of the Danish royal family. His wife is the daughter of Princess Benedikte of Denmark, whose elder sister is Queen Margrethe II.

According to an article in the Copenhagen Post, Princess Alexandra was granted Danish citizenship just prior to her marriage. The couple were sweethearts during their childhood years in Germany.[3]
