Wilhelm II's Descendants

[@syria0110]

Felipe VI of Spain is the only European monarch who is a direct descendant of Kaiser Wilhelm II

[@shinjineesen400]

So was Constantine II, last king of the Hellenes.

[@malcolml309]

​@@shinjineesen400I think that he means currently sitting on the throne.

[@railwaychristina3192]

Yes, Sophie was the grand daughter of Viktoria Louise. Her father Paul was a son of The Kaiser's sister Sophie. Louis Ferdinand married Kira a granddaughter of Alfred, second son of Queen Victoria

My mother's family is descended from the Royal family of Saxony. They are descended through a female line that were first cousins to the king. They lost their privileges after WW1 and what little was left of their property after WW2. My great-grandmother, the last one to be born before their title and privileges were lost, worked as a nurse alongside my grandfather who was a physician. Doesn't mean much today but it is an interesting part of family history. People often ask what it is like being royalty but I correct them by saying I am "DESCENDED" from royalty but not royal. Titles could not be passed down through the female line and the throne or kingdom of Saxony no longer exists.

[@jitaamesuluma9730]

I do too

[@EAlyahya]

Is the royal family of Saxony related to the British royal house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha?

[@paperroses7615]

You might find interesting a you tube channel called "useful charts" and also listen to the one that explains Female DNA only all royal families called Garsenda and trace all the female Garsenda lines that are Saxony It's interesting 🤔 and fun to learn about it revelations about family members 😮

[@iriscollins7583]

​@@EAlyahya Yes. It used to be the name of the British Royal Family. It was the name of Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria.King George V, changed the Family name to Windsor.

[@nazaninnadi7456]

@@EAlyahya actually the British royal family is coming from the house of Hanover.

A fascinating look at the Kaiser's grandchildren and what became of them between the wars and after. Thank you for doing all the research and digging up those evocative photos!

Bad research.

Queen Sophia of Spain was named after her paternal grandmother, Princess Sophia of Prussia (1870 - 1932) consort of King Constantine I of Greece. She was also one of Kaiser Wilhelm II’s younger sisters and one of Queen Victoria’s twenty-one granddaughters. Queen Sophia is a first cousin once removed to the late Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh.

[@wardarcade7452]

Well, the Spanish Queen Emerita Sofia's mother was a granddaughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II so that makes her, her son King Felipe VI and his own daughters descendend from the Kaiser!

[@TheMoonwalker101]

The current Duchess of Wellington is Princess Antonia of Prussia

[@indiramichaelahealey5156]

If the monarchy were not abolished in Germany, Georg Friedrich Ferdinand of Prussia, born 10 June 1976 would be Kaiser now. His father was Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia (1944-1977), his grandfather was crownprince Wilhelm of Prussia (1882-1951) and his great grandfather was Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941).

[@savagedarksider2147]

For me, he is already Kaiser.

[@paulweldon6068]

Christian Albrecht was Frederick III

[@renatewest6366]

Crown Prince Georg Frederich and his spouse Princess Sophie have a beautiful family .Be nice to bring back as a Constitutional Monachy .Long live the Kaiser.

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

I think you missed a generation there. His grandfather was also called Louis Ferdinand; and died in 1994 according to Wikipedia. Prince Georg Friedrich's father died young, so he took over from his grandfather as the formal head of the House of Hohenzollern at a very young age. It's a bit confusing, father and grandfather of the same name; and the younger dying before the older. 😞 The _great-grandfather_ was that crown prince Wilhelm von Preußen.

[@palastofhistory4026]

​@@renatewest6366I agree

[@mediocremaiden8883]

I always called Down Syndrome "The Pretty Disease" because of the big wide set eyes, the smoothness of their skin and as they age they are not prone to wrinkles, they have wider set tongues so they are smiling all the time. They look very beautiful to me. Both males and females afflicted with the disease. A lot of them at first glance you can't tell. I guess it's just me idk

A few days ago King Charles iii was meeting with the descendants of some of these people. (@ 2:28, the fellow on the viewer's left, wearing the striped tie, is a ringer for one of the Windsors.)

I found a photo of Victoria Marina - Mrs.Kirby Patterson! She couldn’t find a job after Ww2- interesting story because she met her husband Mr. Patterson. Victoria measured at 6’4 and a very attractive lady. There was an extensive write up about her in an Ozark newspaper.

[@honestlyyours1069]

Kaiser William ll was a first cousin of the Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain, as both were grandchildren of Queen Victoria. This Queen of Spain was King Felipe VI of Spain's great grandmother.

[@bbell1549]

Not quite sure if you know that Felipe‘s mother (Queen Sofia) is descendant of Kaiser Wilhelm. Queen Sofia is the Great-granddaughter of Kaiser Wilhelm. Her mother (Queen Frederica of Greece) was the granddaughter of the Kaiser.

[@cordeliaadams4898]

Felipe is descendant from the Kaiser on both sides, maternal and paternal. 😣

Kirby Patterson was an attorney employed by the US Department of Justice in the Criminal Division. When I also worked there in the 1970s, I knew him. What stories he told! Patterson was an ordinary guy from Missouri who wore string ties. Who would have thought? His wife, was trained as a nurse. He did not talk much about his German royal relatives beyond tales of staying at castles when he visited Germany. Totally nice guy.

Are you sure that photo is of Friedrich? It looks very like Henry “Chips “ Channon to me. Chips had been married and divorced from Brigid Guinness’ sister.

[@Chevvvvv]

So if Princess Louise married Prince Paul does that mean current King Charles is related through that line also?

[@keldaogg2157]

I thought that was John Stewart.

The crownprince son of the last emperor had a lot of children out of wedlock. Ge cheated badly in his wife. He luved solo for a whole in exile o the eiland called Wieringen. There is a documentary called De kroonprins van Wieringen - The crownprince of Wieringen. A very interesting docu.

I think it is very well done. She explains from the beginning that this video is covering the grandchildren of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Before each grandchild, she returns to the family tree chart to remind us where each grandchild is listed (under the parent). There are also numerous photos and dates to help us follow and make it more interesting.
