Germany's Last Crown Princess: Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin

[@ginacaradonna1896]

Being a Princess certainly does not guarantee one a happy life. My heart broke for this woman. So much tragedy. Two of her sons died. So much upheaval with war and moving around and she married a snake for a husband. Not only did he cheat on her but he abandoned her and his children. May she rest in peace.

Quite right, and yet many young girls long for becoming one or another Princess, instead of enjoying life more private and more lucky. There are some examples of young girls who married men from royal families and ended up tragically. 😊♍👍

This tall dark-eyed beauty might have been Kaiserin. Her Russian connection is especially interesting. Thanks for an excellent biography!

[@cynthiaalver]

A lady of courage.

Her daughter Cecilia married an American soldier a monument man who saved the palaces art work- the Madonna. They met when He was asked to be interviewed by Cecilia's relative Leopold at the palace. She moved to Texas and then had one child herself before dying in 1974.

She was born 70 years before ME, on the 20th of Sep. 1886. 😊♍ Later, still alive, she became namesake for one four-stacked luxury trans-atlantic liner. As well, her husband still alive became to a namesake for the most famous German 'Fourstacker', the 'Kronprinz Wilhelm'. Later his name adorned too the stern of one dreadnought battleship of the German Imperial Navy. Next to Kaiser Wilhelm II, the couple entered the history of shipping as one of the few, alive to become namesakes for big liners. ♍

Thank you for this post.

What a beautiful lady she has kind eyes. Alexandrine her daughter was a very pretty girl.

[@cindymaceda2999]

Wonder what happened to Alexandrine then.😢

Cecilie was German Crown Princess on her wedding day. She was never 'of Germany'. Her father-in-law was German Kaiser. He was never 'of Germany'.

[@renskeconnell8038]

Though very interesting, many important historical details have been left out. And btw her husband was, even before he married Cecelia (under duress of his father, the last Kaiser) an awful, arrogant, narcistic, disastrous human being, if possible worse than his father. He treated Cecelia (a saint) worse than his many, many mistresses. During WWI he was such a failure in the army that his father had one of his generals attached to him, with the authorization to override any military decision the Crown Prince made. Several of this couples sons (as many uncles and nephews) enthusiastically joined the Nazi party. What an awful family poor, poor Cecelia married into.

Such a human story. The title is more important than the bedroom issues. 😇👑🌏🌎🌍💚@undwallace

[@LJB103]

One problem: her name was not Cecilia but Cecilie (CES-ill-ee). She was a beautiful woman.

[@cathrynharrison4734]

I beleive that she was 6ft 1 not 5ft 9

[@BackToHistoryYT]

In centimeters it would be 182. You might be right

[@cathrynharrison4734]

I am 180 and that is just under 6ft@@BackToHistoryYT

[@meeeka]

I read 5'11".

[@meeeka]

BTW: She looks so like a Romanov and, indeed, if she was close to 6 feet tall, she was pure Romanov!

[@williamnapier1516]

So pretty

[@adrianahalmi3337]

Like today, you never know the life of couple behind the closed doors… in every marriage there’s a problem…

[@bethtyree6346]

She was a pretty lady

All she wanted was to be happy
