Philipp Ernst zu Schaumburg-Lippe (born July 26, 1928 in Hagenburg, † August 28, 2003 in Bückeburg) was a German businessman and "boss" of the house of Schaumburg-Lippe.
Friedrich August Philipp Ernst Wolrad Prince zu Schaumburg-Lippe (full baptismal name) succeeded his father Wolrad zu Schaumburg-Lippe as heir and head of the family in 1962, which made him the bearer of the traditional title "Prince" according to historical nobility rights. Since then he was generally known under the name Philipp Ernst Fürst zu Schaumburg-Lippe, although since the abolition of the status privileges of the nobility in 1919 only the title "Prince" (/"Princess"), but not the primogeniture title "Prince", is part of the official name.(Source: Wikipedia)
