On 12 June 1851 she married Prince Felix von Hohenlohe-Öhringen (1818-1900) who had little to show besides his title. After her father lost his title in 1866 she received a pension from the Welfenfonds.

She lived in Heidelberg and in Lindau, where she died when she gave birth to a son in 1871. In 1884 she was buried next to her mother in Kassel.
