Some people have the image of the war in various European countries as a war of relatives, because the royal families of European countries have a little kinship, such as Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, known as the "old grandmother of Europe", and many of the children she gave birth to became the kings of the European royal family. Today, Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, King Karl XVI of Sweden, Queen Margaret II of Denmark, and King Carlos I of Spain are all descendants of this queen, so it is not without reason that several European countries have such good relations today.
The main purpose of their marriage was to maintain the so-called "purity" and "nobility" of the blood, so the last Emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II, also married his distant cousin: Empress Augusta, who was also the niece of Queen Victoria according to blood relations.
The two of them were very affectionate, and gave birth to their only daughter, which is the protagonist we are going to talk about today: Princess Louis, who is arguably the most beautiful last princess in Europe, and when she was more than ten years old, Louis showed her breathtaking beauty to the outside world.
The Bundeskins were also fully doted on their daughter, often taking her on trips around the world, and in 1912, Princess Louis, who had just turned twenty, met her future husband, Ernst August III, at a banquet in Berlin, and she fell in love with the handsome prince in front of her, and Prince Ernst fell in love with the beautiful princess, and the two decided to get married after months of dating.
But when the German Emperor learned of this, he sharply refused the marriage and strictly forbade the princess to associate with Ernst again? Why? It turns out that the blood of the current German Emperor comes from the predecessor of Germany: the Kingdom of Prussia, in the 18th century, the Kingdom of Prussia annexed several other countries, and the current German Empire, and the blood of Prince Ernst, is from the royal family of the annexed kingdom of Hanover, after being annexed by Prussia, the Hanoverian royal family came to live in Austria, so the two families can also be regarded as having a vendetta against the country.
But Princess Louis did not care so much, she was not married to Prince Ernst, and eventually the Kaiser and Queen Augusta succumbed to their daughters, considering the weakness of the Ernst family, so in May 1913 a grand wedding was held for them in Berlin, Germany, when the entire European royal family attended the grand celebration, and the feud between the two royal families was also written off on the wedding day. On the wedding night, Queen Augusta wept bitterly all night because her daughter was about to leave for Austria, but what happened to the princess?
It is worth mentioning that the situation in Europe at that time was very tense, and a year later, the world war broke out, which was also the most harmonious banquet of the European royal family before the war.
After the outbreak of World War I, Princess Louis and her husband went to live in Austria, because Germany was a defeated country, the princess's father Wilhelm II was forced to abdicate and live in the Netherlands, and Louis also stayed in Austria with her husband, the two lived very lovingly, and raised four sons and a daughter.
Later, at the beginning of World War II, the German army invaded Austria, the Nazi government also gave preferential treatment to the former German princess, after the end of World War II, Luis died in 1980 at the age of 88, people will put her and Ernst Prince Hanover, Germany, really thanks to the invention of the photo, it is this color photo, let us glimpse the face of the last princess of the country.
