Wilhelm is the son of Prince Christian Nicholas of Schaumburg-Lippe, and the great grandson of Frederick VIII of Denmark.
He married Ilona Hentschel Baronin von Gelgenheimb on 17 January 1971. They had two children:
- Christian Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe
- Desiree Prinzessin zu Schaumburg-Lippe
Although related to the Danish Royal Family, under Danish law he is not in line to inherit the throne as he is not a descendant of Christian X. He is however in line of succession to the British throne, being a descendant of George II of the United Kingdom, through his daughter Queen Louisa of Denmark and Norway.
