He is descended from the former ruling family of the historic principality of Hohenlohe-Langenburg in what is now northeastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

His maternal grandparents were Tassilo, Prince of Fürstenberg (1903–1987) and Clara Agnelli, and his maternal great-grandparents were Karl Emil, Prince of Fürstenberg (1867–1945) and the Hungarian Countess Maria Mathilde Georgina Festetics de Tolna (24 May 1881 – 2 March 1953).

Although he has Mexican nationality, which makes him eligible to compete for Mexico, he only spends a few weeks per year there.

Max von Hohenlohe, who competed at the 1956 Winter Olympics, was his uncle, and Prince Marco of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, 19th Duke of Medinaceli, was his first cousin.

He acted as co-producer for Yello and Shirley Bassey's 1987 collaborative single "The Rhythm Divine".

[5] On 17 June 2019 in Vaduz, he married Simona Gandolfi,[6] cousin of the Italian skier Alberto Tomba.

Hohenlohe, affectionately called El Príncipe, mooted retiring for 2017,[9] but instead decided to qualify for the 2018 Winter Olympics.

[15] Another two hopes for Alpine Mexico, aside from Hubertus, and Schleper, are Rodolfo Dickson and Jocelyn McGillivray.
