Princess Amalia of Teck ("Amalie Josephine Henriette Agnes Sussane", 12 November 1838 – 20 July 1893), known as Countess Amalie of Hohenstein until 1863, was an Austrian noblewoman closely related to the royal houses of Württemberg and the United Kingdom.
Early life.

As the latter did not belong to any reigning or mediatised house, the marriage was declared morganatic and her mother was granted the title of Countess of Hohenstein by Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria. This last title was the one that both Amalie and her siblings carried from their birth. Her siblings were Countess Claudine of Hohenstein, later Princess of Teck, and Count Francis of Hohenstein (later Prince of Teck and Duke of Teck), who was married to Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge.
