It is not known how the couple first met, though their relationship likely bloomed due to their similar academic interests.
Prince Ludwig studied political science and law, while his fiancé Sophie-Alexandra is a dual Dutch/Canadian citizen and doctoral student at the Law Faculty of the University of Oxford.
