Daniel was born in Duisburg, the then-West Germany to Rüdiger von Sachsen (the second son of Prince Timo of Saxony, but first with his morganatic wife, Margrit Lucas) and his wife, Astrid Linke (1949–1989).
His paternal grandfather, Prince Timo was a son of Prince Ernst Heinrich of Saxony (a son of King Friedrich August III of Saxony and his former wife, Archduchess Luise, Countess of Montignoso) and his first wife, Princess Sophie of Luxembourg (the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Guillaume IV, Grand Duke of Luxembourg and his wife Maria Anna de Bragança).
He was raised in West Germany (Stein-Wingert), not returning to Dresden until well after the Berlin Wall came down. After secondary school, he joined the army, then studied business economics at RWTH Aachen University, and also trained in forestry.
Career
Together with his father Ruediger, he founded in 2003, and still runs, the Wettinische Forstverwaltung (Wettin Forest Service).[3] He also organizes exhibitions at one of the former family palaces, Moritzburg Castle (the acclaimed baroque "hunting lodge" for ancestor Frederick Augustus the Strong).
Since 2004 he has been a member of the municipal council of Moritzburg and the Kreis Meißen for the CDU party.[citation needed] In 2017, he removed himself as a candidate to become King of Poland, stating that, as a democrat, he is not interested in being a non-elected monarch.[5]
Family and personal life
In 2001-2002, he was engaged to singer Christina Linhardt. Two songs on her CD Circus Sanctuary allude to their relationship.[6][7][8][9]
In 2011, he married Sandra Scherer, a scientist.[citation needed] They have two children.[citation needed]
He is a founder of the Wettiner Golf Cup.[4]
His father claimed to be Head of the Royal House of Saxony. The former royal title however is now part of Daniel's official family name (Prinz von Sachsen, Herzog zu Sachsen).
