Afterwards, the position of head of the Oldenburg dynasty was succeeded by Friedrich Ferdinand, the head of the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg family, the next branch of the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Austenburg family , and as a result, his wife Caroline Mathilde also became Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein. It has been done. Therefore, Caroline Mathilde's descendants continue to be the heads of the Oldenburg dynasty to this day.
