That's why 'von und zu' exists in German. 'von' means 'of House...', and 'zu' basically means 'resides in ...'. So King von und zu Luxemburg would be King of house Luxemburg who also lives in Luxemburg

Interesting. So can someone be "von" multiple places? Charles von Australia und United Kingdom und Canada und New Zealand zu United Kingdom?

Incidentally, in German the lion also isn't called king of the jungle, but king of the animals. But I don't know if that means von animals or zu animals 🤔.
