Note:
​
Due to the divorce of HH Willem Count Engelbrecht Berg, his second wife was given the courtesy title of "Baroness" with the predicate "The Honourable" by the 18th Count Engelbrecht von Stade by special proclamation. The first wife and late mother of HH The Count Engelbrecht von Stade remarried Lord (Baron) Kenneth Gamble and prefered to be known by her second title as The Lady Gamble. She also sometime used her birth title of Gräfin von Stade. She was still entitled to the title of HH Magda Countess Engelbrecht Berg. The Current Head of the Family and 18th Count Engelbrecht von Stade utilise the title of Count Engelbrecht von Stade. This ensures no confusion between himself and his late father.
