The Husbands of the Four Graces

Some time ago, I read a very interesting book about Queen Victoria's Hessian Granddaughters (Victoria, Elizabeth, Irene, and Alix.) The title was "The Four Graces," and ever since I read it, that is the way I think about the daughters of Grand Duke of Louis IV of Hesse and by Rhine and the beautiful princess Alice of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, second daughter of Queen Victoria.

These young women were among the most marriageable princesses of their generation. They were beautiful, accomplished and Queen Victoria's granddaughters. There was no need to look for husbands for them. Among their suitors could be found future Kaisers, Tsars and Kings of England even though it was well known that any or all of the princesses could be carriers of hemophilia (inherited from their august grandmother Victoria.) Their sons might be bleeders. One of their brother's had been, therefore Princess Alice, their mother, had been a carrier.

The four men they married appear in the first photograph above; one marquess, one prince, one grand duke, and one Emperor (all of them very handsome):

👑Louis Mountbatten, first Marques of Milford Heaven (the man all the way to the left on the picture) married Princess Victoria Alberta Elisabeth Mathilde Marie of Hesse and By Rhine. Victoria and Louis had two sons and neither one of them had hemophillia.

👑The Hohenzollern Prince and brother of the German Keiser, Prince Heinrich of Prussia (the man to the right of Mountbatten in the photograph) married Princess Irene Luise Marie Anne of Hesse and By Rhine. They were first cousins since Heinrich was the son of Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, the Princess Royal, who was the older sister of Princess Alice. They had three sons. Two out of the three had hemophilia. One died in childhood of causes related to that disease.

👑 Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia (the man to the right of Prince Heinrich) married Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Louise Alice of Hesse and by Rhine. Sergei and Elizabeth had no children.

👑The soon-to-be Tsar Nicholas II of Russia married Alix Viktoria Helene Luise Beatrix. Alix had one son, and he had hemophilia. (gcl)

This is a colourization I did of Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia. Born in 13 September 1892 to German Emperor Wilhelm II and Empress Augusta Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein. She was the 7th child and only daughter. In 1913 she married Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick. They had 5 children together. During WWII her and her husband tried to encourage an agreement between the UK and Nazi Germany. After WWII the couple lived in Marienburg Castle till the death of the Ernest Augustus in 30 January 1953. In 1965 The Princess wrote an autobiography about her life. She died in 11 December 1980 and is buried in the Royal plots at Berggarten Mausoleum, Hanover.

Kinda want to use this photo of the German Princesses Viktoria Louise of Prussia as my pfp, but I feel people might get the wrong idea about me. They might think that I used that as support of a regime or something, when actually I just want her to crush me. Ladies in uniform are sexy as fuck and the skull and bones of the Totekopfhusaren add some fucking spice.

Viktoria Luise is that you?!

[foreverinthepagesofhistory]

It always surprises me how much Viktoria Louis of Prussia looks so much like Leonor? Or I should say Leonor looks like Viktoria. They are related right? 😂

Yes indeed they are! Viktoria Louise’s daughter was Princess Frederica of Hanover who, when married, became Queen Frederica of Greece. Frederica’s daughter was Princess Sofia of Greece who, when married, became Queen Sofia of Spain. She is Leonor’s grandmother today. This makes Leonor Viktoria Louise’s Great-Great Granddaughter.

There might be a parallel of them in the future but you never know? Thank you and I hope this helps! 🤍
