Queen Sophie of Spain was named after her paternal grandmother, Princess Sophie of Prussia (1870 - 1932) concert of King Constantine I of Greece. She was one of the Kaiser’s younger sisters & one of Queen Victoria’s twenty one granddaughters.

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.

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!

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).

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.

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

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.

Nicholas II's wife Alexandra and George V were amongst his many first cousins. Nicholas himself was more of a distant cousin of Wilhelm.

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