Christoph Victorio Egon Humberto Prinz zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg (8 November 1956 – 6 August 2006) was a European socialite and member of the extended Agnelli family.[1]
Known as Kiko, he was born at Clinique de Mont Choisi in Lausanne, Switzerland,[2] the elder son of Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1924–2003) and his first wife, Princess Ira zu Fürstenberg, a niece of Giovanni Agnelli, the founder of Fiat.
He died on 6 August 2006 of massive organ failure, related to complications of diabetes and a lung infection, a few days after being imprisoned in Klong Prem Central Prison in Bangkok on charges of suspicion of illegally altering a visa.[3] His health had been weakened from a weight-loss regimen at a Thai wellness center.[4][5]
Before his death, he resided in Honolulu, Hawaii, also in Paris and Geneva, but was a citizen of Liechtenstein.[5]
