Early Life
Saskia's parents Prince Welf and Princess Wibke became followers of a religious sect led by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. When Saskia was five, the family relocated to the sect's ashram in Poona, India. After her father's death in 1981, Saskia and her mother moved with Bhagwan and the sect to the Rajneeshpuram compound in Oregon. After several years at Rajneeshpuram, Saskia's paternal grandparents Prince George William of Hanover and Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark were able to send her to England to attend school.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“When first we faced, and touching showed
How well we knew the early moves ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Wisdom is not just knowing fundamental truths, if these are unconnected with the guidance of life or with a perspective on its meaning. If the deep truths physicists describe about the origin and functioning of the universe have little practical import and do not change our picture of the meaning of the universe and our place within it, then knowing them would not count as wisdom.”
—Robert Nozick (b. 1938)
