A psychiatrist, Clotilde is the only child of Count George von Merenberg (1897–1965) and Elisabeth Müller-Uri (1903-1963). She is the last patrilineal descendant of the House of Nassau, the male line of which ruled the Duchy of Nassau until 1866, provided a 12th-century German king, a line of Princes of Orange who served first as stadholders of the United Dutch Provinces and, from 1815 to 1948, as kings of the Netherlands, and reigned as grand dukes of Luxembourg until 1968. Neither she, however, nor her father or paternal grandfather were deemed full members of the Nassau dynasty, the last member of which, Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg, died in 1985.[1] While Countess Clothilde's branch of the family had legitimate male members until 1965, they had been bypassed for Luxembourg's throne since 1907.

He was a grandson of Wilhelm von Rintelen, a prussianLieutenant general ennobled in 1913 by German Emperor Wilhelm II.
