Happy 153rd Birthday to Prince Friedrich “Frittie” of Hesse and By Rhine, October 7th 1870 ✨🖤

Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Hesse and By Rhine was born on October 7th 1870 in Darmstadt, Hesse. He was the 5th child and 2nd son of Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse and Princess Alice of Great Britain and Ireland. He was the brother of Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna and Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna.

He was a very lively baby and loved playing with his siblings, especially his brother Ernst Louis who he was especially close with. When he was around 1 year old he was diagnosed with Hemophilia because of a fall. Hemophilia is a genetic blood disorder that doesn’t allow the blood to clot which means that any bump or bruise could cause a fatal hemorrhage.

When he was almost 3 years old in 1873 he was playing with his brother Ernie and his mother Alice in her bedroom. Ernie ran into the adjoining room and looked out of the window to wave to Frittie, and Alice went to fetch him to bring him back into the room. Unsupervised Frittie looked out of the open window to try to find his brother which resulted in him falling 20 feet. The fall turned out to be fatal and he died of a brain hemorrhage. He would have survived the fall if not for his Hemophilia.

Fly high Frittie ✨🕊️❤️‍🩹

Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse (1868 - 1937) and his children

Ernst Ludwig was the son of Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and By Rhine, and Princess Alice of the United Kingdom. His four sisters were Victoria (mother to Alice Mountbatten and, therefore, grandmother of Prince Phillip,) Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, a martyr of the Russian Revolution and a saint, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia, and Princess Irene (she was known as Princess Heinrich because she married Prince Heinrich, the brother of the Keiser.)

He suffered many painful losses throughout his life, including that of his beloved firstborn, daughter Elizabeth, whom he fathered with Victoria Melita, Princess of Edinburgh. The beautiful girl died two years after the couple divorced. Subsequently, he entered a second marriage with Princess Eleonore of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich (the family called her Onor.) He had two sons with Onor, George Donatus (George Donatus married a sister of Prince Phillip) and Louis.

Ernst Ludwig adored children all his life and was always ready to romp with his own, his sisters' children (OTMAA), and later with his grandchildren. He never got over the death of his beautiful little daughter.

Here are several pictures of him with his boys and an unidentified little girl and a picture of the Duke with his beloved daughter.

118 years since the wedding of HRH Prince Andreas of Greece and Denmark to HRH Princess Aliki of Battenberg in 06–10–1903

 

Princess Alice was considered to be the most beautiful princess in Europe. At the age of 17 she met Prince Andrew of Greece while in London for King Edward VII’s coronation. They were married in a civil service on 6 October 1903 at Darmstadt in the state of Hesse, Germany, followed by two religious services: one Lutheran and the other Greek Orthodox in the Russian Chapel. The bride and groom were both closely related to the ruling houses of the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Denmark and Greece. They settled in Athens, Greece, and Prince Andrew continued his career in the military while Princess Alice or Princess Andrew as she was also known as it was customary for a princess to take the name of her husband, became involved in charity work. The couple had four daughters and one son, Prince Phillip, who later married Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom

Bellow an article originally appeared in the New York Times on 8 Oct 1903

Darmstadt, Oct. 7

In the presence of a notable gathering, which included an Emperor, an Empress, a King, and two Queens, the marriage of Princess Alice of Battenberg and Prince Andreas of Greece was celebrated today according to the rites of the Lutheran and Greek churches.

In the guest list was the bride’s aunts, uncles, and parents at the wedding Grand Duke Ernst of Hesse and by Rhine, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Princess Irene of Prussia, Prince Henry of Prussia, Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna of Russia, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia, Princess Louis of Battenberg, and Prince Louis of Battenberg

The wedding party, whose dresses and uniforms made a very effective spectacle, assembled at 3:30 in the old castle, and then crossed the castle yard to the castle church. Prince George of Greece with Princess Victoria led the procession, and they were followed by the Grand Duke of Hesse , with the Czarina [6]; the Czar , with Queen Alexandra the members of the Greek royal family, and finally Prince Louis of Battenberg , with his daughters, the Princesses Alice and Louise

The church was filled with diplomats, the local authorities, and the royal suites. The Protestant ceremony lasted three-quarters of an hour, the officiating clergyman being the Rev. Dr. Petersen. The party then, amid the ringing of the famous chimes, drove in reverse order to the Greek chapel, a mile distant on the Mathildanhohe, where they were greeted by a large crowd. There the marriage ceremony was celebrated according to the Greek rites by Archpriest Janitcheff, a Russian choir performing the musical service. All then returned directly to the palace.

The bride wore white crepe de chine, with orange blossoms, and a bodice of Point de Venise lace

and wore the diamond tiara that may have been her wedding gift from her uncle and aunt,

and a diamond circle-and-star necklace that’s said to have been a wedding gift from her mother

Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia

Queen Alexandra was dressed in purple tulle, with sequins, and had a diamond diadem. The Czarina wore a gown of white tulle embroidered with silver, and wore a Russian diadem. The Queen of Greece was in gray satin.

A family dinner was held this evening, with forty-two covers. Afterward the wedded couple started in a motor car, presented by the Czar, for Heiligenberg Castle on a short honeymoon.

The gifts to the bridal couple include a massive silver epergne from the King and Queen of England and a magnificent diadem of brilliants from the Czar and Czarina .

The civil marriage of Prince Andrew and Princess Alice took place on Tuesday.

118 χρόνια από τον γάμου Της ΑΒΥ Πρίγκιπα Αντρέα της Ελλάδας και Δανίας με Την ΑΒΥ Πριγκίπισσα Αλίκη του Μπατενμπεργκ στις 06–10–1903

Η πριγκίπισσα Αλίκη θεωρούνταν η πιο όμορφη πριγκίπισσα στην Ευρώπη. Σε ηλικία 17 ετών γνώρισε τον πρίγκιπα της Ελλάδας Ανδρέα ενώ βρισκόταν στο Λονδίνο για τη στέψη του βασιλιά Ε��ουάρδου Ζ '. Παντρεύτηκαν σε δημόσια υπηρεσία στις 6 Οκτωβρίου 1903 στο Ντάρμσταντ στο κρατίδιο της Έσσης, στη Γερμανία, και ακολούθησαν δύο θρησκευτικές λειτουργίες: η μία Λουθηρανική και η άλλη Ελληνορθόδοξη στο Ρωσικό Παρεκκλήσι. Η νύφη και ο γαμπρός είχαν στενή σχέση με τους κυβερνώντες Βασιλικους οίκους του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου, της Γερμανίας, της Ρωσίας, της Δανίας και της Ελλάδας. Εγκαταστάθηκαν στην Αθήνα της Ελλάδας και ο πρίγκιπας Ανδρέας συνέχισε την καριέρα του στο στρατό, ενώ η πριγκίπισσα Αλίκη ή η πριγκίπισσα Άντρεα όπως ήταν επίσης γνωστό ως συνήθεια για μια πριγκίπισσα να παίρνει το όνομα του συζύγου της, ασχολήθηκε με φιλανθρωπικό έργο. Το ζευγάρι είχε τέσσερις κόρες και έναν γιο, τον πρίγκιπα Φίλιππο, ο οποίος αργότερα παντρεύτηκε τη βασίλισσα Ελισάβετ Β 'του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου

Παρακάτω ένα άρθρο για τον Βασιλικό εμφανίστηκε αρχικά στους New York Times στις 8 Οκτωβρίου 1903

Ντάρμσταντ, 7 Οκτωβρίου

Παρουσία μιας αξιόλογης συγκέντρωσης, η οποία περιελάμβανε έναν αυτοκράτορα, μια αυτοκράτειρα, έναν βασιλιά και δύο βασίλισσες, ο γάμος της πριγκίπισσας Αλίκης του Μπάτενμπεργκ και του πρίγκιπα Ανδρέα της Ελλάδας γιορτάστηκε σήμερα σύμφωνα με τις τελετές των λουθηρανικών και ελληνικών εκκλησιών.

Στη λίστα καλεσμένων ήταν οι θείες, οι θείοι και οι γονείς της νύφης Μεγάλος Δούκας Έρνστ της Έσσης και από τον Ρήνο, η Τσαρίνα Αλεξάνδρα Φεοντόροβνα της Ρωσίας, ο τσάρος Νικόλαος Β της Ρωσίας, η Πριγκίπισσα Ειρήνη της Πρωσίας, ο Πρίγκιπας Ερρίκος της Πρωσίας, η Μεγάλη Δούκισσα Ελισάβετ Feodorovna της Ρωσίας, Μέγας Δούκας Σεργκέι Αλεξάντροβιτς της Ρωσίας, πριγκίπισσα Louis του Battenberg και πρίγκιπας Louis του Battenberg

Το γαμήλιο πάρτι, του οποίου τα φορέματα και οι στολές έκαναν ένα πολύ αποτελεσματικό θέαμα, ξεκινησε στις 3:30 στο παλιό κάστρο και στη συνέχεια διασχιζοντας την αυλή του κάστρου στην εκκλησία του κάστρου. Ο πρίγκιπας Γεώργιος της Ελλάδας με την πριγκίπισσα Βικτώρια ηγήθηκε της πορείας και ακολούθησαν ο Μεγάλος Δούκας της Έσσης, με την Τσαρίνα ο τσάρος, με τη βασίλισσα Αλεξάνδρα τα μέλη της ελληνικής βασιλικής οικογένειας, και τέλος τον πρίγκιπα Λούις του Μπάτενμπεργκ, με τις κόρες του, τις πριγκίπισσες Αλίκη και τη Λουίζα μετέπειτα Βασσιλισα Λουίζα της ��ουηδιας

Η εκκλησία ήταν γεμάτη με διπλωμάτες, τις τοπικές αρχές και τις βασιλικές οικογένειες Η προτεσταντική τελετή διήρκεσε τρία τέταρτα της ώρας, με ιερέα τον κληρικό σεβ. Dr. Petersen. Το πάρτι στη συνέχεια, οδήγησε με αντίστροφη σειρά στο ελληνικό παρεκκλήσι, ένα μίλι μακριά στο Mathildanhohe, όπου τους υποδέχτηκε ένα μεγάλο πλήθος. Εκεί η τελετή του γάμου γιορτάστηκε σύμφωνα με τις ελληνικές τελετές από τον αρχιερέα Janitcheff, μια ρωσική χορωδία που εκτελούσε τη μουσική λειτουργία. Στη συνέχεια, όλοι επέστρεψαν απευθείας στο παλάτι.

Η νύφη φορούσε λευκο κρέπα ντε κινέ, με άνθη πορτοκαλιάς και μπούστο από δαντέλα Point de Venise

και φόρουσε τη διαμαντένια τιάρα που μπορεί να ήταν το δώρο του γάμου της από τον θείο και τη θεία της,και ένα διαμαντένιο κολιέ με σχήμα κύκλου με διαμαντένια αστέρια που λέγεται ότι ήταν δώρο γάμου από τη μητέρα της

Ο τσάρος Νικόλαος Β και η Τσαρίνα Αλεξάνδρα Φεοντόροβνα της Ρωσίας

Η βασίλισσα Αλεξάνδρα ήταν ντυμένη με μωβ τούλι, με παγιέτες και είχε διαμαντένιο διάδημα. Η Τσαρίνα φορούσε φόρεμα από λευκό τούλι κεντημένο με ασήμι και φορούσε ρωσικό διάδημα. Η βασίλισσα της Ελλάδας ήταν σε γκρι σατέν.

Ένα οικογενειακό δείπνο πραγματοποιήθηκε σήμερα το βράδυ.

Στη συνέχεια, το ζευγάρι ξεκίνησε με ένα μηχανοκίνητο αυτοκίνητο, το οποίο παραχωρισε ο τσάρος, για το Κάστρο Heiligenberg σε ένα σύντομο μήνα του μέλιτος.

Τα δώρα στο νυφικό ζευγάρι περιλαμβάνουν μια τεράστια ασημένια epergne από τον βασιλιά και τη βασίλισσα της Αγγλίας και ένα υπέροχο διάδημα από τον Τσάρο και την Τσαρίνα.

Ο πολιτικός γάμος του πρίγκιπα Andrew και της πριγκίπισσας Aλικης πραγματοποιήθηκε την Τρίτη.
