Germany is about to experience the trial of the year. A somewhat prosopopoeic statement, yes, but justified because it confronts one of the most famous royals in the world,

and his first-born son and dynastic successor, Ernesto Jr. (38). ). After several years without a parent-child relationship, both will meet again this Thursday before the Regional Court of Hannover (Lower Saxony). And time will tell if she does not have to end up declaring in the complicated lawsuit Carolina of Monaco herself, who is still the wife of the controversial aristocrat, since she herself watches over the protection of the interests of their daughter, Princess Alexandra.

The trial is a consequence of the lawsuit that the father has filed against his son. Ernesto de Hannover wants to recover important assets of the dynasty that gave his scion in a kind of inheritance in life and that manages the Duke of Cumberland family foundation. Because

of illicit enrichment and loss of property. German media like

they report that the head of the dynasty is claiming compensation of five million euros. And he asks the courts to revoke the donation he made between 2004 and 2007 to his once little soul of impressive properties in Austria and Lower Saxony, such as the formidable Marienburg Castle, Calenberg Castle and the Palace of the Príncipe (Herrenhausen), where Ernesto Jr., his wife and three children currently reside.

The scandal has hints of romance.

Because Ernesto de Hannover has spent years airing that his son would have taken control of the fortune of the House behind his back after having him sign "blindly" a power of attorney by which his right to revoke the donation would have been annulled, in Against what, always according to his version, was originally recorded in the real estate registry.

Even more.

The heir maintains that everything is false.

To understand the matter we must go back to 2004. Health problems and various scandals led Prince Ernesto to cede control of the extraordinary family patrimony to his first-born son and to assume resignedly that he would also replace him at the head of the aforementioned Duke of Cumberland foundation. Those were times when the marriage with Carolina -who maintains an excellent relationship with her two stepchildren, Ernesto Jr. and Christian- still worked; they would not begin to lead separate lives until 2008, despite the fact that

of Carolina de Monaco's husband.

And today he still refuses to recognize his eldest grandson as legitimate in the line of succession.

And, on the other hand, a year later, the head of the dynasty was furious when his eldest son reached an agreement with the State of Lower Saxony to sell him the disputed Marienburg Castle for the symbolic amount of one euro.

His goal was for the Administration to take over the exorbitant sum of between 27 and 50 million that the rehabilitation works would cost to prevent the historic Hannover summer residence - an imposing romantic-style fortress with 140 rooms spread over five floors. - falls apart.

is the germ of the judicial dispute.

But it is not the only day next week that Ernesto de Hannover will go to court. On the eve of the confrontation with his son, the Linz Higher Regional Court will resolve the appeal on the now suspended sentence of 10 months in prison on probation that the prince received in March

in his hunting farm in Austria to which they traveled alerted to the threats that an out-of-control Ernesto launched on his guards. Apparently drunk as a vat, he accused them of being accomplices of his eldest son to end his life. Hannover apologized for the events, alleged that he was upset by cancer treatment and later entered a rehabilitation center.

In Ernesto de Hannover's record of court scandals, it is worth recalling the large fine he had to pay

in 2000 while enjoying a relaxing period with Carolina.

The fortune of the Hannovers is unknown, although the dynasty appears as

and different sources estimate that it could be around 350 million euros.

Ernesto Sr. himself, Queen Sofía's cousin, is credited with a real estate heritage, which would include houses in Germany, Austria, Kenya or Paris.

The one who has long chosen not to participate in the family war is the second of Ernesto's children and his first wife, Chantal Hochuli, Prince Christian, who lives in Madrid with his wife Alessandra de Osma and their two twin children, Nicolás and Sofia. The relationship between Christian and his father has improved so much that this summer they enjoyed together in Ibiza and in recent weeks they have been seen in different places in the Spanish capital,

with a new love, Claudia Stilianopoulos, and unleashing eccentricities such as riding a scooter.

We will see if the media trial about to be held and Ernesto's relationship with Pitita Ridruejo's daughter

with Carolina that remains after so many years apart. Much has been speculated about what kind of agreement the two princes reached. What is certain is that, despite the fact that present-day Germany does not recognize noble titles, its dynasties are governed through private associations in accordance with the rules of noble law and the agreements of the Family Councils. And as long as Carolina is the mistress of Hannover, at least

that could complicate the now repudiated heir in his day to become head of this Royal House with so much tradition.

The illusion of the throneless king of Hanover with Pitita's daughter

Drop down

Ernesto de Hannover with Claudia Stilianopoulos at least has already been more than a passing summer love.

Because the prince met the 47-year-old sculptor in August in Ibiza and the couple of the moment has continued to be seen very caramelized this fall in the Spanish capital, where the aristocrat would have spent a very long season to also enjoy his grandchildren.

Claudia Stilianopoulos is the daughter of the long-awaited socialite Pitita Ridruejo.

She lives in Madrid with her two daughters and is divorced - her marriage lasted 17 years.

Although apparently the surprising romance continues, recently the magazine 'Semana' published some unpleasant images that would correspond to a fight that Ernesto and Claudia would have had in a central street of the Spanish capital.

After a tense discussion, she decided to take a taxi, leave the place and leave her partner composed and without a girlfriend.

Close friends of the aristocrat have tried to take iron out of the matter.

And they emphasize that right now he does not taste alcohol, he only drinks beer without.

With the trials to come, as if not to be careful.
