to be a sadist and on the day of his abdication was advised he was the "most unpopular prince in Germany". The early death of Karoline is shrouded in some mystery,
some sources say she died in childbirth and other say she took her own life. It was also mentioned in a newspaper article dated 25 April 1903 that Princess Beatrice of Edinburgh (Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) was likely to be the wife of Wilhelm Ernst, obviously this was way off target since Wilhelm Ernst married Karoline Reuss-Greiz shortly afterwards on 30 April 1903. Wilhelm Ernst and Karoline were married on 30 April 1903 but a couple of months later it was being reported in Newspapers that Karoline had run away from her husband to escape the tyranny of her surroundings in the Royal Palace. She died on 17 January 1905 at the young age of twenty years. |

27.4523 | Princess | Sophie Auguste of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach | 1888 | 1913 | Princess Sophie committed suicide having shot herself through her forehead.
In all probability the suicide of the Princess was linked to her love for Hans von Bleichroeder whose family were Jewish bankers, the Grand Duke apparently
wouldn't sanction the marriage unless the Princess gave up her titles. A more detailed report of their love and Sophie's subsequent suicide was published shortly after her death. As for Hans von Bleichroeder, he was killed in action in Warsaw in 1915. (This report quotes the name as Victor von Bleichroeder rather than Hans von Bleichroeder) An alternative lover of Princess Sophie was reported to be Lieut. Edlar von Putlitz A couple of weeks after Sophie's death a trial took place of a chauffeur who was alleged to be the driver of a motor car which killed a 12 year gypsy girl, his defence proved it was in fact the Princess who was at the wheel of the car. The chauffeur was acquitted. Could this have been a contributory cause to the suicide of Princess Sophie? |
