In Brussels on 4 May 1875 Philipp married with Louise-Marie of Belgium, his second cousin (daughter of the King Leopold II of Belgium and granddaughter of the King Leopold I of Belgium, brother of Philipp's grandfather Ferdinand); the marriage ended in divorce on 15 January 1906, because Luise had a liaison by many years with a count. They had two children:
- Leopold Clement Philipp August Maria (b. Szent-Antal, Hungary, 19 July 1878 - d. Vienna, 27 April 1916).
- Dorothea Maria Henriette Auguste Louise (b. Vienna, 30 April 1881 - d. Taxis, Württemberg, 21 January 1967), married on 2 August 1898 to Ernst Günther, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein.
