Prince Ernest, born Prince Ernest Johann Jacob Jerome Louis (German: Ernst Johann Jakob Hieronymus Ludwig) is a Prince of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and a member of the House of Flatau. Ernest was born to parents Princess Sofia of Schleswig-Holstein and Grand Duke Johann of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, who are also tenth cousins, meaning they share a 9x great grandparent. He was their fourth and youngest child. Ernest grew up in Thuringia, Germany, where he was raised by his mother, rather than a nanny. When Ernest turned eleven, he attended boarding school at King School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Königschul für Hexerei und Zauberei) in Austria. After graduating, he took after extra courses at Beauxbatons in France and then did training at the Ministry of Magic in France as well. Ernest then moved back to his home of Thuringia after about a year or two of extra learning. While back home, in 2013, Ernest's family hosted Princess Silvia Anna de Coruna y Pamplona of Alba, a Spanish princess who was on a backpacking trip with her sister. The two really hit it off, and continued to exchange letters long after Silvia Anna had left. In 2013, Ernest made a trip down to Spain to propose marriage to Silvia Anna, and she accepted. In 2014, Silvia Anna was invited to live at one of the family's residences, the House of Großschmetterling und Lustig, by courtesy of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess. Silvia Anna was very successful in Germany and Ernest assisted her in getting a job and speaking the German language. As it turns out, Ernest was a very good teacher, and he started to work as a private tutor for children of the court and nobility, later branching out to become a tutor for all Thuringians. The two had a good, comfortable life and did not feel the need to rush to get married. They eventually married in 2017 in Thuringia, followed by a three month honeymoon planned by Ernest to Cuba, Bolivia, and Brazil. This led Silvia Anna to move out of the House of Großschmetterling und Lustig and into Ernest's room at the Flatau Palace. The couple, now considered more senior because of their marriage, were able to add a few new members to the Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach court, hoping to have the most intelligent court in Europe. in late 2018, Silvia Anna became pregnant and in 2019 they welcomed a daughter. Ernest wanted to name her Wilhelmina, Silvia Anna wanted to name her Amalia, and in the end they settled on Amalia Wilhelmina. Her parents were "just as happy as if she had been a boy" but because of primogeniture changes, it is likely that even if Amalia Wilhelmina is followed by brothers, she will still be Ernest's heir. Ernest is currently 30 years old, turning 31 later this year, and continues to work as a tutor, very successfully at that. In his free time, he really enjoys playing piano to his daughter and writing political science papers based on research done by the French MoM.
