Friedrich Franz von Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst[1] (full German name: Friedrich Franz Augustin Maria Prinz zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst;[1] 15 February 1879 in Budapest, Hungary[1] – 24 May 1958 in Curitiba, Brazil) was an Austrian prince who served as a military attache in Saint Petersburg.
[1][2] Educated as part of the aristocracy, Prince Friedrich was appointed military attache at the Austro-Hungarian Embassy in Saint Petersburg, then the Russian capital.
There he became involved with Stephanie Richter, a young Austrian woman from Vienna, who was beautiful and charming, and Jewish by birth (her mother).
His full name was Franz Josef Rudolf Hans Weriand Max Stefan Anton von Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst.
[5] Later that year Prince Frederick married Countess Emanuela Batthyány von Német-Ujvár of Hungary.
She was suspected by French, British and American intelligence of being a spy for the German government during the 1930s, after developing close relationships with the Nazi elite, despite her Jewish birth.
Princess Stephanie fled England after war was declared, joining a former lover in the United States.
After the attack at Pearl Harbor and US entry into the war, she was arrested by the FBI and interned as an enemy alien, being paroled in May 1945.
His elder brother Nikolaus Moritz Aloys Hubertus Maria zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst (1877–1948) was the head of the family.
