* Princess Gisela of Bavaria (b. 1964)

Later life

The prince is a Grand Prior of the Bavarian Order of Saint George, Knight of the Order of Saint Hubert and a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece.Because the current head of the Royal House of Bavaria, Duke Franz and his younger brother Max have no male offsprings, Rasso's brother Prince Ludwig will become the next in line in the Bavarian Succession. Prince Rasso is currently 7th.
