The serious problem of Ernest of Hanover that leads him to star in very unnoble scandals: unpleasant and rude

There are lives that seem planned for glory, and others that, despite being born under the splendor of illustrious surnames, lead to a host of absurdities that could hardly appear in the chronicles of the nobility. Ernesto de Hanover70 years old, ex-husband (he is formally married to her) and descendant of a lineage that once shone in European salons, has turned the scandal into a kind of personal coat of arms.

The last episode in which he participated in a restaurant in Madrid is nothing more than the echo of a profound problem that has marked his life: erratic and, at times, openly offensive behavior that defies the minimum rules of decency. But what happens when the nobility behaves in such an ignoble way?

The scene at Le Bistroman Atelier

On December 26, Ernesto de Hannover and his Spanish girlfriend, Claudia Stilianopolisdaughter of the always elegant Pitita Ridruejo, appeared at Le Bistroman Atelier, a French restaurant recognized by the Michelin Guide and directed by the prestigious chef Stéphane del Río. There, what began as a quiet meal turned into an embarrassing spectacle.

According to the chef himself, Ernesto broke glasses, insulted the staff and verbally attacked the other diners. When the Samur went to the scene to attend to the aristocrat, who apparently suffered from choking, the scene reached its climax with screams and confrontations.

“It’s not the first time. He has come three times and always the same: shouting, insults, drunkenness“, Stéphane said on his

The shadow of alcohol and excuses

It is no secret that Ernest of Hannover has a long history of scandals associated with alcohol abuse. This incident was no exception: Claudia Stilianopolus, his girlfriend since 2021, came forward to justify it, but her story failed to clear up doubts about the true condition of her partner.

According to Claudia, what happened in the restaurant was not related to alcohol, but rather to an episode derived from the diabetes that Ernesto suffers from. “ANDIt’s difficult, he always carries his sugar in his pocket“he explained, adding that his impulsive behavior responds to this condition.

However, other statements contradict this version. Claudia admitted that Ernesto ordered champagne and an expensive bottle of wine during the meal. Although he insisted that half of the bottle was kept intact, the mixture of excuses does nothing to alleviate the image of a man whose relationship with drinking has been, for years, more than evident.

The weight of a life without direction

Born into one of the most important families in Europe, Ernest of Hanover seems to have lost himself in the fog of poorly managed privileges. His story is that of a man who has gone through life with an arrogance that borders on the absurd, carrying with him the echo of a nobility that no longer finds its place in the modern world.

It cannot be denied that his career is full of dark episodes: legal disputes, family confrontations and countless headlines that turn his figure into an example of what happens when lineage and responsibility walk in opposite directions.

Claudia’s patience

Among the chaos, the figure of Claudia Stilianopolus emerges, who seems to play the role of a patient mediator. Since her relationship with Ernesto began, she has tried to justify or minimize the controversial episodes that surround him.

Although Claudia comes from an equally prominent background, her profile has always been more linked to discretion. Her relationship with Ernesto, however, has placed her at the center of a media maelstrom that clashes head-on with the image she had built.

In this case, Claudia even posted a negative review on Tripadvisor about the restaurant, claiming that the staff did not understand her partner’s medical situation. A maneuver that, far from calming things down, has added another layer to the mess.

A problem without a solution?

The case of Ernest of Hanover transcends the limits of anecdote. His behavior at Felipe and Letizia’s wedding, staying at home and leaving Carolina of Monaco alone, already revealed a deeper problem. But this German prince is a disconnection from reality that seems to be fueled by the indulgence of those around him and a system that still grants privileges to certain surnames.

It is difficult to feel sympathy for someone who, instead of taking advantage of the advantages that his position offers him, sinks into a spiral of contempt and attitudes inappropriate for a man who should embody the values ​​of his lineage.

Perhaps Ernest of Hanover’s problem lies not only in alcohol, or even in his diabetes, but in the absence of purpose. In a world where noble titles have lost much of their relevance, his life seems to reflect the emptiness of an era that no longer exists.

Meanwhile, the headlines will continue to recount their missteps. But deep down, the question remains as to whether Ernesto will ever find a way to reconcile with himself and with the society that, despite everything, still makes room for him in its salons.
