Catherine Marie Antonia Margaret Matthew of Schleswig-Holstein, sometimes styled as Catherine Marie von Gollinger, always styled as Her Grace Catherine Marie, is a member of the House of Gollinger and the Royal Family in Schleswig-Holstein. Catherine Marie was born on 22 January 1997 in the German State of Thuringia to Prince Carl Bruno of Schleswig-Holstein and Princess Agatha of Oettingen-Oettingen and Oettingen-Spielberg, before going home to the state of Schleswig-Holstein. Catherine Marie was christened later that year and her godparents included friends of her mother, Josephine and Robert Schaft and her uncle and his wife, Prince Justin Gabriel of Schleswig-Holstein and Lady Elizabeth John. Catherine Marie grew up speaking both German and Danish and shared a governess with her sisters, taught at her home of Schloss Gollinger. Catherine Marie learned English very easily, and expressed interest in attending Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At the age of eleven, at the courtesy of the principal, Catherine Marie was invited to be apart of a foreign student program and she began attending Ilvermorny, a school that she loved. In 2014, Catherine Marie graduated from Ilvermorny and took up a job at a wizarding bar in New York. The same year, her father, uncles, and grandfather were invited to Argentina for the 2014 Quidditch World Cup, and her father invited her to tag along with him. After only a few months of graduated and alone bliss, Catherine Marie left her life in America and decided that after attending the cup, she would return home to Schleswig-Holstein. Catherine Marie supported Brazil, who lost, but the trip wasn't a complete failure as Catherine Marie met Charles Hamilton, a Scottish nobleman and Duke of Hamilton. She and the twenty year old really hit it off, and somewhat kept in touch throughout the next year. In 2016, they met again at an engagement party in London for a friend of Charles', Sir George Abraham Cowell, and Catherine's sister, Elisabeth Ingrid. The two hit it off yet again and took a vacation together to Budapest, Hungary. Afterwards, the two started a strong relationship and the following year in 2017, they were married in July at the Church of Aldheim, courtesy of the Prince of Wales, Cicero. Upon her marriage, Catherine Marie became the Duchess of Hamilton and moved to Charles' house in Edinburgh. In February of 2018, Catherine Marie discovered that she was pregnant and the following August, she gave birth to a son, Andrew Hamilton, who was made the Marquess of Douglas and Clydesdale. Catherine Marie decided that she did not wish to be a stay at home wife and took courses at St. Mungo's to become a mediwitch, and finished her courses the following the year. In 2020, Catherine Marie gave birth to her second child, another son whom she named Cicero, after the Prince of Wales who allowed her to wed her husband in one of the most beautiful and famous churches in wizarding Europe, apart from Mary's Cathedral, of course. Catherine Marie continues to work as a mediwitch at St. Mungo's and be a loving wife and mother, residing in Edinburgh, Scotland.
