He married Princess Margarita of Hohenlohe-Oehringen on June 8, 1984. He had one daughter by this marriage, Princess Cécilia of Leiningen (b. 1988). Margarita died in 1989 in a car accident.
On May 24, 1991, Karl Emich married Dr. Gabriele Renate Thyssen. After an inheritance dispute, he abdicated and gave way to his younger brother Prince Andreas of Leiningen. He is excluded from the line of succession to the British throne, because his then wife was a Roman Catholic at that time [1]. They had one daughter, HSH Princess Theresa Anna Elisabeth of Leiningen (b. 1992), who is 110th in line of succession to the British throne. In 1998, Karl Emich and Gabriele were divorced.
