		He was born at the family estate Haus Dötzingen near (Hitzacker, Germany), as Claus Georg Wilhelm Otto Friedrich Gerd von Amsberg.
		The public also sympathized with Claus for his efforts to give meaning to his life beyond the restrictions that Dutch law imposed on the royal family's freedom of speech and action (lest they get involved in political controversy).
		In 1998, after presenting the annual Claus Award to three African fashion designers, Claus told "workers of all nations to unite and cast away the new shackles they have voluntarily cast upon themselves", meaning the necktie, that "snake around my neck", and encouraged the audience to "venture into open-collar paradise".

		Nederland leerde Claus von Amsberg in 1965 kennen, kort voor zijn verloving met prinses Beatrix.

		Het overgrote deel van de bevolking genoot echter met volle teugen toen Beatrix en Claus in de mist van rookbommen in Amsterdam in het huwelijk traden, in de daaropvolgende jaren hun drie zonen kregen en met hen een gelukkig gezin vormden op kasteel Drakensteyn.

		Claus van Amsberg werd in 1926 geboren als Klaus von Amsberg op het noord-Duitse landgoed Dötzingen, net buiten het stadje Hitzacker aan de Elbe; hij overleed op 6 oktober 2002 in Amsterdam.
		Zijn vader, Klaus Felix von Amsberg (het 'von' is voor zijn huwelijk officieel vernederlandst in 'van'), was sinds 1917 rentmeester op het landgoed, na een mislukt avontuur als planter in Afrika.
		Het feit dat Claus een Duitser was, die bovendien lid was geweest van de Hitlerjugend en in de Wehrmacht had gediend, zorgde voor veel commotie bij een deel van de Nederlandse bevolking; twintig jaar na de bezetting lag dit nog zeer gevoelig.
