Cecilie was the third child and daughter of HRH 👑🤴👑 Prince Andreas of Hellenes 🇬🇷and Denmark 🇩🇰and HRH Princess Alice of Batenberg later HRH 👑👸👑Princess Aliki of Hellenes 🇬🇷and Denmark 🇩🇰She was born on 22 June 1911 at the summer estate of the Greek Royal Family at Tatoi fifteen kilometres north of Athens. Although her given name was Cecilie, she was known to her family as Cécile.

Cecilie was baptised at Tatoi on 2 July 1911.

Through her father, Cecilie was a grandchild of HM King Georgios I of Hellenes Prince of Denmark and his wife, HIH Grand Duchess Olga Kostandinovna of Russia (a granddaughter of Tsar Nickolas I of Russia ) through her mother, she was a great-great granddaughter of Queen Victoria Cecilie had three sisters and a brother :

Her brother, was Prince Philip, late Duke of Edinburgh, and the husband of Queen Elisabeth II of GB

On 2 February 1931 at Darmstadt Cecilie married George Horatius Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine who was her maternal first cousin once removed.

They had four children.

In October 1937, Cecilie's father-in-law Grand Duke Ernest Ludwig of Hesse died. A few weeks after the funeral, her brother-in-law Prince Ludwig was due to be married to Margaret Campbell Geddes in London.

On 15 November 1937, Georg Donatus, Cecilie, their two young sons and Georg's mother Grand Duchess Eleonore left Darmstadt for London, where they planned to attend the wedding. The aircraft in which they were travelling crashed in flames after hitting a factory chimney near Ostend in Belgium killing all on board. At the time, Cecilie was eight months pregnant with her fourth child, and the remains of the baby, a boy, were found in the wreckage.

Cecilie was buried with her husband and three sons in Darmstadt at the Rosenhöhe, the traditional burial place of the Hesse family. Cecilie's daughter Johanna was adopted by Prince Ludwig and Princess Margaret, but she died two years later from meningitis and is buried with her parents and brothers. Cecilie was the first of Prince Andrew and Princess Alice's children to die. Her last surviving sibling, Prince Philip, died on 9 April 2021. He survived her by more than 83 years.

Hi, I keep an eye on Princess Johanna of Hesse and by Rhine's Wikipedia article. I'm writing an alternate history novel featuring a young adult Johanna in the young Bonn Republic.

Hey :) I’m not aware of her but I’ll have to read up on her. Good luck with your writing! I always found writing a really therapeutic thing

Skyler Whitenack - Rockford Man

Details about the Whitenack family living in Adelshofen was available in action to an ad in the November, 1963 issue of Archiv fur Sippenforschung which was placed by Mr. von Frank.

He believed there might be discovered in the State Archives of Baden which would include records of feudal estates, tax payments, and so on. The records are not indexed so many packages of records would have to be gone through.

Originally Rockford market was based on 2 locaI basic materials: wheat for flour mills and lumber for saw mills. Both resources have actually disappeared from the area. Flour mills paved the way to other industries which took their put on the waterpower they had helped develop. Saw mills provided method to wood working plants which now must reach numerous miles into Canada and Appalachia for basic materials.

Much of the Palatinate was church land. In 1446 Germany was a federation ruled by ecclesiastical princes acknowledging fealty to the Holy Roman Empire. Damage of the Hohenstaufen dynasty by the popes of the 13th century had actually damaged the Holy Roman Empire and in 1400 it was a loose association of Germany, Austria, Bohemia, Holland ans Switzerland. Carinthia was mining gold as early as 1300, in 1519 it was west of Hungary and east of Switzerland and the Tyrol. Styria was just above Carinthia. Styria and lower Austira was ravaged by the Turks in 1532. In 1517 a league of 90,000 peasants in Styria and Carinthia carried out to end feudalism there and they attacked castles and slew their lords. In the Revolt in Alsace of 1562, 20,000 peasants were killed. Peasants had ruined hundreds of castles, abbeys, villages were depopulated and destroyed. Peasants wandered the highways and concealed in the woods.

Records of the Weidknecht's were discovered in Regensburg, Baden and Alsace. Baden was a margraviate in 1689.

A very little part of the output of Rockford's hardware factories is taken by her furniture factories, however most of the hardware is marketed in other places, especially in the east. Regional foundries supply metal producers with castings, but once again much of the production is offered in other areas. One furnishings factory focuses on stitching maker cabinets and actually has been acquired by a sewing device company. A slight fraction of the device tool output goes to Rockford metal fabricators. Nevertheless, the correlations between Rockford factories as sources of basic materials, devices, or markets for each other is minor. Rockford's industry makes use of basic materials which, in basic, are obtained from factories in the East; her industry serves a market which, though across the country, also is focused in the East.

In some town in the Palatinate the parochial signs up started in 1691 however the Lutheran registers did not start till 1727 or later on. A history of Alsace, Baden, Speyer, Heidelberg and Mannheim reveals that in 1689 the French Army sacked and burned hundreds of towns, hence records of the occupants would have been ruined. In 1659 Spain signed the Peace of the Pyrenees and deserted all claim to Alsace, ceding it to France. France ended up being the most effective nation in Europe. Louis XIV was the ruler in France. The French generals complied with Louis XIV and revealed to the residents of the above prospering German towns to evacuate their castles and towns as they were to be ruined by fire and sword.

In the 16th century, Bavaria included: Munich, Regensburg and Salzburg. Swabia consisted of: Baden, Stuttgart, Augsburg and Wurttemberg. Upper Rhine consisted of: Frankfurt am Main, Cassel, Darmstadt, Wiesbaden, Hesse and part of Alsace.

Although the Whitenacks were living in Baden, Alsace and Regensburg in the 1600's, they may have initially been from lower Austria or most any place in Europe.

I am revealing the very first generations referred to as Family No. 1, Family No. 2, Family No. 3, then In America calling the numerous households A, B, C, etc. If you need to know just how numerous generations have actually been traced, discover <missing the remainder of the sentence> ... Family No. 1. Martin Weidknecht, burgomaster of Adelshofen, (district Sinsheim, in the Kraichgau, Baden) (village of about 200 homes, some very old with stables connected to your homes). Martin Weidknecht was born about 1601 and died June 24, 1671, age 70 when he passed away; married before 1633 to Barbara--, who was born about 1607 and died December 25, 1687 in Adelshofen, 80 years of ages when she passed away. Problem:

Johann Martin Weidknecht, born about 1633 who passed away Dec. 6, 1688 in Adelshofen.

Household No. 2 He married (1 ): Catherina Weidknecht, the daughter of Hans Weidknecht, resident of Adelshofen who was born about 1619/20 and died Feb. 18, 1670, age 50 who wed prior to 1641 Catherina--, born about 1611 and died August 17, 1679 in Adelshofen. Andreas Weidknecht first marital relationship to Catherina Weidknecht was no Nov. 14, 1671 (she was born about 1648 and died Nov. 12, 1675 in Adelshofen.

Andreas Weidknecht wed (2) Anna Elisabetha Schlà 1/4 tter on July 25, 1677 in Adelshofen who was born about 1653 and she passed away Oct. 24, 1738. Issue by this marital relationship:

The first record of Johannas Wietkneght then is that he joined the church at Readington (North Branch,) N. J. in 1728. He was on the tax list of 1735 in Franklin, (called 6-Mile Run in 1716) Somerset Co., N.J. as owning 100 acres of land, livestock 7, and was taxed  ₤ 1 1s 3d. Hw was a freeholder (of land) in the Sourland Mountain (Western Precinct) in 1753 and a member of Mr. Frelinghuysen's church at 6-Mile Run and was voted a senior of the church on Sept. 25, 1751. In 1761 he contributed  ₤ 0.10 s 0 to build the kerk at Neshanneck. Solutions were in English and Dutch until 1784.

Whiteanack, Bleker. Whitenack, John. Whitnack, Abraham. Whitnack, Andries. Whitnack, Benjamin.

Northampton county, Pa., Bethlehem Twsp., Mathias Weidkneght was taxed for 100 acres of land, 3 horses and 2 cattle in 1785, 86 and 88.

In a list of Revolutionary War Veterans, Morris Co., N.J. the following were discussed:.

Household No. B-10:. ( Youngest kid of Blakert Whitenack) John Whitenack (Whitekanack) Sr. of Morris Co., N.J. His will was dated Mar. 16, 1799 and proved Feb 8, 1800 (Lib. 39, page 97 File 1052 M) Yeoman. Spouse, Rachel, to have house, furnishings and use of plantation while a widow. Earliest kid, Thomas, all genuine after other half's decease or marriage. Needs to Thomas die without problem, then divide in between boys: William and Peter. Sons: William and Peter  ₤ 50 each. Children: Phebe, Charity, Elizabeth, Susannah, Catarine and Ruth each 20 shillings. Executed by boy, Thomas. Witness: Philip Parker, Samuel Hawes, and John Bockoven. This John Whitekanack is thought to be Bliker Whitnek's youngest boy, who wed Oct. 12, 1773 in Sussex Co. He may be the John Whitenack who remained in the Revolutionary War (Sussex Co.). His son Peter was most likely the Sergeant Peter Whitenack who registered 7 Sept. 1814 in War of 1812 and was released 4 Dec. 1814.

Andreas Weidknecht, his spouse Margretha and 3 children came to America in 1709. They joined the fantastic Palatinate emmigration from Germany to England in 1709. Some authorities declare there were 2,000 and others 32,000 in the group. Not all of them concerned America; soe went to Ireland. Reason for emmigration: thirty years war devastated Palatinate region, greater and higher taxes to support rulers of Germany in high-end, extremem cold winter of 1709 - birds on the wing fell dead, wind in casks froze solid, etc. There were 6 cruisings of Palatinates to America, the very first four boats carried very bad emmigrants who were unable to pay for their passage. The names of the travelers on the very first 4 ships is offered however the Weidknecht family was not noted. The last two ships guests were for the most part tradespersons and spent for their own passage. The last boat did not show up till August 2, 1710 in America. They were all packed with disease obtained on shipboard so they were quarantined for 5 months on Nutten Island now called Governor's Island so physicians might examine them. They lived in camping tents while typhus raved among them. Numerous children were left orphans and they were apprenticed to leading people in New York. 84 orphans were apprenticed in this style. The Palatines had been assured 40 acres each but they did not receive this till they had fulfilled their contract. Queen Anne of England who sympathized with the Palatines in Germany made the essential arrangements to transport them to America where they were to be engaged for tar manufacturing purposes. About half of the Palatines were farmers or vine cabinets in Germany. Upon their arrival, they were used on storehouses and barrels under a strategy whereby they received 2 shillings a day, half in cash and half in credit on their represent food and requirements.

Blakert Whitenack. X. his mark.

Hans Martin Weidknecht, born Jan 28, 1697 in Adelshofen. He is the Martin Weidknecht (Wytknecht) who landed at Philadelphia Sept. 30, 1732 on board the ship "Dragon" (List 26 A, B.C.) 55 passengers on boat from Rotterdam last from Plymouth, England.

County Tax Lists. Bucks County Pa., Millford Twsp., Jacob Wideneicht was taxed for 20 acres and 2 livestock in 1785, 86 and 87.

By 1712, the census of this family showed 3 adults (kids over 10 were counted as adults) so one need to have passed away. The next census showed that Margretha Weidknechtin, widow and two kids at Diese Monschen wohnen auf dem Rarendantz (Kniskerndorf) Schoharie Valley settlement. This is near the Katskill Mountains.

June 20, 1754 Priscilla Witconek wed Joseph Hains. Joseph Hains born 7-23-1722 was the sone of Richard and Agnes Haines who originated from Northumberland, England in 1682. Joseph Hains passed away intestate in 1768 and his spouse's name was: Ann. Another Joseph Hains was sergeant 1st Bat. Salme Co., N.J. Militia Revloutionary War.

The story goes (so Christiana Harker, my granny, whose mother was Mary Whitenack before her marital relationship) that Cornelius, her daddy, was embraced by the Whitenack family about 1795 and that his parents were Dutch and were both drowned when their ship was damaged in the Atlantic Ocean. Cornelius was saved, however, and was adopted by the Whitenack's and raised as their own kid. Other members of this Whitenack family have actually never heard this tale!!.

Family No. B8:. Mary Whitenack (spelled Whitekernek in marital relationship records) born July 7, 1740 passed away June 20, 1806, age 66. Her records specify she was a daughter of Eliakim and Anna Whitenack. Some of Blakert Whitenack's records reveal the name "Eliakim" Mary Whitenack was the (1) better half of George Bockoven (Backofen) who was born Sept. 15, 1734 and died June 3, 1814. He was a Lieutenant in Revolutionary War and they lived in Morris Co., N.J. He had 8 kids by Mary Whitenack. They were married April 12, 1759 (Morristown, N.J. Presbyterian Church records). Later on transferred to Basking Ridge, N.J.

Wythnegt, Joseph & Catreina, had a son Johannis baptized 23 Aug. 1772 Joseph Whiteneck, was a private in Battalion of Rifleman, Pennsylvania June 25, 1775 and July 1, 1776 Col. William Thompson Company likewise in Cap. James Parris Company on August 1776. This Joseph may be the son of Johannas Weidknecht's son Johannas (deceased). He may have been a casualty in the Revolutionary War as there are no further records of him.

There are no more records of the household up until June 17, 1716, Anna Marie Weidknechten saw a Lutheran Baptism on the Raritan at Nine Mile Run, New Jersey. Anna Marie Weidknechten might have been Blakert Witenek's better half. Blakert Witenek's better half's name was Anna but no records of Blakert Witenek remain in existence up until about 1740.

<img src="https://pixabay.com/get/50e7d2444d56b108f5d08460962b3378133adbe64e50744f7c297fdc9248c0_640.jpg" width="640" height="426" />

A Richard Whitekenack experienced a will in Morris County on June 28, 1774. He might be a younger kid of Andres' who was mentioned in Blakert Whitenack's will as having more than one kid.

Family A9:. Abraham Witeknaght baptized April 21, 1765 (born in 1756 at 6 Mile Run, some records state). His pension record notes his birth as Feb. 14, 1757, Sourland Mts., Hillsborough Twsp. He got June, 1776 and served 2 yrs., 3 months and was discharged at end of war. He was a private and sergeant with New Jersey Troops under Captains Verbryck, Coenrath, Ten Myck, Buryea, Taylor, Van Ness and Rynear Staats and Colonels Quick, Taylor, and Van Dyke. He remained in the Battle of Springfield. He passed away Dec. 7, 1833, age 77. He was on Pension Roll under Act of June 7, 1832 Somerset Co., N.J. Revolutionary Pensioners.

Family No. 3 Andreas Weidnecht, born Nov. 1, 1672 in Adelshofen wed Margretha ------, before 1697. Andreas died in America (New York) about 1711. The location and year of Margretha's death is unidentified. Their children whom they brought with them to America are as follows: George Fred Weidknecht born about 1697 and thought to be the Johannes Weidknecht who lived and passed away in New Jersey, see below for his family; Anna Elizabeth Weidknecht, born about 1701 of whom there are no futher records regarding whom she wed or when she died. There is a possibility that Blakert Whitenack is the kid of Andreas and Margretha and was born in America about 1711/12. He is certainly carefully associated to Andreas and Margretha Weidknecht and Johannes Weidknecht as he called his kids after them. For his records, see Family B.

Martin bought 100 acres of land in Bucks county, Pennsylvania on June 26, 1734.

There were lots of John Whitenack's living about the exact same time in New Jersey which were never ever recognized in the records which makes it an uphill struggle to assemble. Revolutionary War Records list a John Whitenight of Sussex, private, and a John Whitenaught (among thes might have been Andreas Whitenaught's sone and the other the above Johannas).

The following may be Johannas Weidknecht's children by his very first marriage and roughly the very same age as Blakert Weidknecht:.

... [details on John's descendants omitted]

... [information of Andreas' descendants ommitted]

... [details of Cornelius' descendants ommitted]

Blackert Whitnak's birth and marital relationship records have never been situated. His relationship to Johannas Whitenaught is a secret. Blakert might be Johannas' son by an early marital relationship or he might be a sibling of Johannas and might have been born in America shortly after Andrea and Margaret Weidknecht's arrival in New York. Blakert Whitnak was not discussed as being among the emigrants to America. Thus he probably was born in New York or New Jersey. His relation to Andreas and Margaret Weidknecht (the emigrants) appears to be close as he named his children after them-- his eldest sone ws called Andreas, likewise he had a child John (Johannas) and a daughter, Margaret. If Blakert Whitnak was a son of Johanna Whitenaught who lived in the Sourland Mountain area, it would appear that they were estranged. No reference of his relationship to Johannas or any of Johannas' kids was made by Blakert in his will dated Nov. 30, 1761 proved Oct. 22, 1777 (Trenton, N.J. Book 4 pages 278-281). Blakert might not compose as his will is signed by his mark which was seen.

Records of the Weidknecht family's arrival in America are as follows:.

July 12, 1749 Jane Wit-ker-neack married Samuel Peck of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. (There is a Joseph Peck, Essex Co., N.J. will dated 1700).

... [details of Abraham's descendants ommitted] This finishes the descendants of Johannas Weidknecht which were discussed in his will, or from church records of his household. On the next page are some records of Whitenacks (Weidknechts) which have never ever been related to Johannas Weidknecht's family.

Blakert Whitnak's name was spelled in many variations, such as: Bliker, Blecker, Blakert, being the most normal kind. The name Whitnak also was spelled in various forms, such as: Witenack, Whiteanack, Whitekenack adn lastly Whitenack being the normal form. He was also understood as "Eliakim".

Family C:. Martin Whytknecht (also spelled Weidknecht, Whiteknight) showed up in America on Sept. 30, 1732 on the "Dragon" out of Rotterdam (185 on board and Chas. Hargrave, master). He was from Adelshofen, Baden and was a half-brother of Andreas Weidknecht who came to America in 1710.

Records were browsed in neighboring towns for the records of Michael Andreas and Margretha Weidknecht's childrent; these towns were Richen, Ittlingen, Borwangen, Eichtersheim, Eschelbach, Daisbach, Eschelbronn, Neidenstein, Epfenbach, Grombach and Gemmingen however absolutely nothing was found.

The earliest date of his household is of his child Mary's birth record who was born July 7, 1740. It is quite possible that he was married a minimum of 10 years prior to 1740 as he had 10 kids a minimum of. The church at New Vernon, Morris county, New Jersey burned down and possibly the majority of Blakert Whitnak's family records remained in that church.

Family A. Johannes Wietkneght (likewise spelled Witeknaght, Whiteknacht, Whitenaught, and so on) most likely married two times and perhaps 3 times. He would have been old enough by 1719 to marry and maybe have had Blakert Weidknecht. One report is that he had 4 sons in Long Island before he transferred to New Jersey. There are no birth records of such children and no marriage records, and so on of Johannas' ever living in Long Island - simply hearsay. This might be the relationship between Johannas and Blakert.

He is unquestionably closely related to Andreas and Margretha Weidknecht and Johannes Weidknecht as he called his kids after them.

Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark (22 June 1911 – 16 November 1937) was by birth a Greek and Danish princess who became the titular Hereditary Grand Duchess consort of Hesse and by Rhine through her marriage to Prince Georg Donatus, pretender to the throne of the Grand Duchy of Hesse. She was also the third-eldest sister to Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark (later Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh) and the paternal aunt of Charles III.

The third of five children of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg, Cecilie spent a happy childhood. In her early years, however, she witnessed the Balkan Wars (1912–1913), followed by the First World War (1914–1918) and the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922). For the young princess and her relatives, these conflicts had dramatic consequences and led to their exile in Switzerland (between 1917 and 1920), and then in France (from 1922 to 1936). During their exile, Cecilie and her family depended on the generosity of their foreign relatives, in particular Marie Bonaparte (who offered them accommodation in Saint-Cloud) and Lady Edwina Mountbatten (who supported them financially).

The year 1929 was a turning point in Cecilie's life. She formed a relationship with her maternal cousin, Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse. Around the same time, her mother was struck by a mental health crisis which led to her confinement in a Swiss psychiatric hospital until 1933. After marrying Georg Donatus in 1931, Cecilie moved to Darmstadt. There she gave birth to their three children, Ludwig (1931–1937), Alexander (1933–1937) and Johanna (1936–1939), before becoming pregnant with her fourth child in 1937. Initially distant from the Nazi movement, she joined the Nazi Party at the same time as her husband in May 1937.

Soon after, the princess and her family embarked on a trip to the United Kingdom, where they were to attend the wedding of her brother-in-law Louis, Prince of Hesse and by Rhine to Margaret Campbell Geddes. However, the aircraft in which they were travelling crashed in flames near Ostend, instantly killing all the passengers. Repatriated to Darmstadt, their remains were buried in the Grand Ducal mausoleum of Rosenhöhe on 23 November 1937.

1937 Sabena Junkers Ju 52 Ostend crash.

On 16 November 1937 a Junkers Ju 52 / 3m owned by Belgian airline SABENA, operating as a scheduled international passenger flight from Cologne, Germany, to London, England, crashed near Ostend, Belgium. The aircraft hit a tall factory chimney while attempting to land at Steene aerodrome near Ostend, Belgium. The accident killed prominent members of the Hesse Ducal Royal family on the way to London for the wedding of Ludwig, Prince of Hesse and by Rhine. The flight from Frankfurt to London was scheduled to stop at Ostend Airport but diverted to Steene Aerodrome due to bad weather. The aircraft hit the chimney of a brick factory and crashed, bursting into flames. All eleven passengers and crew who boarded the aircraft died.The remains of Grand Duchess Cecilie's newborn son were found among the wreckage; a Belgian official enquiry into the crash indicated that the birth was the reason the pilot was attempting to land despite the poor weather conditions ... The aircraft had a crew of four: pilot, wireless operator and mechanic as well as a German engineer.

The members of royalty among the passengers were:

•Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse and By Rhine

• Cecilie, Hereditary Grand Duchess of Hesse and By Rhine

• Eleonore, Grand Duchess of Hesse and By Rhine

• Prince Ludwig of Hesse and By Rhine

• Prince Alexander of Hesse and By Rhine

• Georg Donatus' and Cecilie's newborn infant.

The Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess' fourteen-month-old daughter, Johanna, was the only one of the family who was not on board the aircraft. She was adopted by her uncle Prince Louis and aunt Princess Margaret in early 1938. Johanna died of meningitis in 1939.

📌 People not familiar with the story or the Hesses. Cecilie was Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh's third sister.

📌 Hereditary Grand Duke Georg Donatus and Prince Ludwig Hermann of Hesse and By Rhine are the nephews of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia and Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna Romanova of Russia.

84 years since the TRAGIC death of HRH Princess Cecillie of Greece and Denmark Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine in 16–11-1937

Her Royal Highness Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark was the third-eldest sister to Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Her father was HRH Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and her mother, HRH Princess Alice of Battenberg.

On 22nd June 1911, she was born at the summer estate of the Greek Royal Family at Tatoi. Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark’s siblings included Margarita, Theodora and Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark. Her brother was Philip who later became the Duke of Edinburgh after having married Queen Elizabeth II.

The legendary marriage of the Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark took place on 2nd February 1931 at Darmstadt. The Princess married Georg Donatus, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse.

They had three children, two boys and one baby daughter.

The fate of the family would turn out to be exceptionally tragic with some people even believing that the family was cursed.

It was just one year before World War II broke out when Princess Cecilie was eight months pregnant and expecting her fourth child. On October 1937 Georg Donatus’ father, the Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse died.

shortly after, the family arranged a match between Prince Ludwig (Georg Donatus’ brother) and the Hon. Margaret Campbell-Geddes. Soon, the wedding plans were in full swing with the ceremony being planned to take place in London. On 16th November Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark along with her entire family boarded a flight for London.

On that flight, travelling with Princess Cecilie, was her husband, mother-in-law, her young sons and Lina Henar the children’s nurse. Princess Johanna was left at Darmstadt because she was considered too young to accompany the family and the Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark was uncomfortable taking her on the flight. This could perhaps be due to the fact that the Princess was mortally terrified of flying.

The weather was absolutely clear and sunny when they took off, but it later became extremely foggy after flying for some time. No one knows the exact reason why but the pilot decided to make a quick landing near Brussels. However, he could not do so because of the dense fog and decided to land at Ostende, the next adjoining airport.

But it would turn out that Ostende Airport also had dense fog. The pilot was not able to spot a tall factory chimney in the bad weather and as a result, the aircraft’s wings hit. Within minutes the plane burst into flames and crashed to the ground. There were a total of eleven people on board including the Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark.

Unfortunately, nobody survived the crash. When the rescue team arrived, they found the dead body of a newly born baby within the wreckage. It is therefore believed that the Princess gave birth to her fourth child during the flight. This might also explain why the pilot tried to make an emergency and unscheduled landing.

The funeral took place in Nazi Germany in Darmstadt at the Rosenhöhe in the traditional burial place of the Hesse family.

The only survivor of their young family was Princess Johanna who was left at home. She was later adopted by her uncle Prince Ludwig but died from meningitis just two years later on 14th June 1939. Following her untimely death, the young Princess was buried with her family in Darmstadt.

84 χρόνια από τον ΤΡΑΓΙΚΟ θάνατο της ABY Πριγκίπισσας Κεκιλια της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας Δουκισσα του Hesse und bei Rhine στις 16–11–1937

Η ΑΒΥ Η Πριγκίπισσα Κεκιλια της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας ήταν η τρίτη μεγαλύτερη αδερφή του πρίγκιπα Φιλίππου, του Δούκα του Εδιμβούργου. Ο πατέρας της ήταν ο ΑΒΥ Πρίγκιπας Aντρεας της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας και η μητέρα της, ΑΒΥ Πριγκίπισσα Αλίκης του Battenberg.

Στις 22 Ιουνίου 1911 γεννήθηκε στο θερινό κτήμα της Ελληνικής Βασιλικής Οικογένειας στο Τατόι. Η πριγκίπισσα Cecilie της Ελλάδας και τα αδέρφια της Δανίας ήταν η Μαργαρίτα, η Θεοδώρα και η Πριγκίπισσα Σοφία της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας. Ο αδερφός της ήταν ο Φίλιππος που αργότερα έγινε δούκας του Εδιμβούργου αφού παντρεύτηκε τη βασίλισσα Ελισάβετ Β'.

Ο θρυλικός γάμος της πριγκίπισσας Cecilie της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας πραγματοποιήθηκε στις 2 Φεβρουαρίου 1931 στο Darmstadt. Η πριγκίπισσα παντρεύτηκε τον Georg Donatus, τον Κληρονομικό Μέγα Δούκα της Έσσης. Απέκτησαν τρία παιδιά, δύο αγόρια και ένα κοριτσάκι.

Η μοίρα της οικογένειας θα αποδεικνυόταν εξαιρετικά τραγική με κάποιους να πιστεύουν ακόμη και ότι η οικογένεια ήταν καταραμένη.

Ήταν μόλις ένα χρόνο πριν ξεσπάσει ο Β' Παγκόσμιος Πόλεμος, όταν η πριγκίπισσα Σεσίλι ήταν οκτώ μηνών έγκυος και περίμενε το τέταρτο παιδί της. Τον Οκτώβριο του 1937 ο πατέρας του Γκέοργκ Ντονάτους, ο Μέγας Δούκας Ερνστ Λούντβιχ της Έσσης πέθανε.

λίγο μετά, η οικογένεια κανόνισε έναν αγώνα μεταξύ του πρίγκιπα Λούντβιχ (αδερφός του Γεώργιου Ντονάτους) και του τιμ. Margaret Campbell-Geddes. Σύντομα, τα σχέδια του γάμου ήταν σε πλήρη εξέλιξη με την τελετή να προγραμματίζεται να γίνει στο Λονδίνο. Στις 16 Νοεμβρίου η πριγκίπισσα Cecilie της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας μαζί με ολόκληρη την οικογένειά της επιβιβάστηκαν σε μια πτήση για το Λονδίνο.

Σε εκείνη την πτήση, που ταξίδευε με την πριγκίπισσα Σεσίλι, ήταν ο σύζυγός της, η πεθερά της, οι μικροί γιοι της και η Λίνα Χενάρ, η νοσοκόμα των παιδιών. Η πριγκίπισσα Johanna έμεινε στο Darmstadt επειδή θεωρήθηκε πολύ μικρή για να συνοδεύσει την οικογένεια και η πριγκίπισσα Cecilie της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας ένιωθε άβολα να την πάρει στην πτήση. Αυτό θα μπορούσε ίσως να οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι η Πριγκίπισσα φοβόταν θανάσιμα να πετάξει.

Ο καιρός ήταν απολύτως καθαρός και ηλιόλουστος όταν απογειώθηκαν, αλλά αργότερα έγινε εξαιρετικά ομιχλώδης αφού πέταξαν για αρκετή ώρα. Κανείς δεν γνωρίζει τον ακριβή λόγο, αλλά ο πιλότος αποφάσισε να κάνει μια γρήγορη προσγείωση κοντά στις Βρυξέλλες. Ωστόσο, δεν μπόρεσε να το κάνει λόγω της πυκνής ομίχλης και αποφάσισε να προσγειωθεί στην Οστάνδη, το επόμενο διπλανό αεροδρόμιο.

Αλλά θα αποδειχτεί ότι το αεροδρόμιο της Οστάνδης είχε επίσης πυκνή ομίχλη. Ο πιλότος δεν μπόρεσε να εντοπίσει μια ψηλή καμινάδα εργοστασίου στην κακοκαιρία με αποτέλεσμα να χτυπήσουν τα φτερά του αεροσκάφους. Μέσα σε λίγα λεπτά το αεροπλάνο τυλίχτηκε στις φλόγες και έπεσε στο έδαφος. Στο πλοίο επέβαιναν συνολικά έντεκα άτομα, συμπεριλαμβα��ομένης της πριγκίπισσας Cecilie της Ελλάδας και της Δανίας.

Δυστυχώς, κανείς δεν επέζησε από τη συντριβή. Όταν έφτασε η ομάδα διάσωσης, βρήκε το νεκρό σώμα ενός νεογέννητου μωρού μέσα στα συντρίμμια. Ως εκ τούτου, πιστεύεται ότι η πριγκίπισσα γέννησε το τέταρτο παιδί της κατά τη διάρκεια της πτήσης. Αυτό μπορεί επίσης να εξηγήσει γιατί ο πιλότος προσπάθησε να κάνει έκτακτη και απρογραμμάτιστη προσγείωση.

Η κηδεία έγινε στη ναζιστική Γερμανία στο Darmstadt στο Rosenhöhe στον παραδοσιακό χώρο ταφής της οικογένειας της Έσσης.

Η μόνη επιζήσασα από τη νεαρή οικογένειά τους ήταν η πριγκίπισσα Johanna που έμεινε στο σπίτι. Αργότερα υιοθετήθηκε από τον θείο της Πρίγκιπα Λούντβιχ αλλά πέθανε από μηνιγγίτιδα μόλις δύο χρόνια αργότερα, στις 14 Ιουνίου 1939. Μετά τον πρόωρο θάνατό της, η νεαρή Πριγκίπισσα θάφτηκε με την οικογένειά της στο Ντάρμσταντ.

House of Oldenburg & of Hesse: Princess Cecilie “Cécile” of Greece and Denmark

Cecilie is the third child of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and his wife Princess Alice of Battenberg. She is the younger sister of Princess Margarita of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and Princess Theodora, Margravine of Baden. Her younger siblings are Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark as well as Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. Among family and friends, she was known as Cécile.

In December 1922, she fled Greece alongside her family on a British ship. They went into exile in France and lived in a Parisian house which was lent to them Princess Marie Bonaparte, the wife of her uncle Prince George of Greece and Denmark. In private, the family spoke mostly French, German and English and not much of Greek, as reported by Prince Philip. Cecilie’s youth was not easy since her family was now poor and her father left his family for his mistress. Meanwhile, her mother, Princess Alice, opened an art and needlework shop to keep the family afloat. In 1930, Cecilie’s mother was sent to a mental asylum in Switzerland to treat her for schizophrenia.

In 1931, Cecilie married Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine, in Darmstadt. He was her first cousin once removed through Princess Alice and the son of Cecilie’s godfather Grand Duke Ernest Louis of Hesse and by Rhine. The mass that wanted to watch the wedding parade was so huge that although the cars were escorted by police the bride, groom, the groom’s brother and father as well the bride’s father had to walk to church. The bridal couple knew each other since childhood because the Battenbergs were a fairly new morganatic cadet branch of the House of Hesse. Battenberg was Cecilie’s mother’s house of birth. Seven months and 23 days after the wedding, Cecilie’s first child Prince Ludwig was born. Prince Alexander and Princess Johanna followed in 1933 and 1936 respectively.

Cecilie’s husband was a reserve officer of the Luftwaffe (German air force). The couple joined the ruling Nazi party on May 1st, 1937. When Cecilie’s father-in-law died the same October, the parade in his honor was taken over by the Nazis.

Prince Ludwig of Hesse and by Rhine was due to marry Margaret Campbell Geddes just a few weeks later in London. Georg Donatus and Cecilie, who was afraid of flying, decided to fly to the wedding and take along their two oldest sons. At this time, Cecilie was eight months pregnant with another prince. Unfortunately, the airplane crashed in Belgium near Ostend on November 16th, 1937. Everyone on board died. Later parts of a baby’s body were found which led to the conclusion that Cecilie must have gone into labour during the flight and that an attempted emergency landing had gone wrong due to the bad weather. The only surviving member of the family was Johanna who was adopted by Ludwig and Margaret. Unfortunately, she too died two years later from meningitis.

Cecilie is buried alongside her sons and husband at Rosenhöhe in Darmstadt, the traditional burial place of the House of Hesse. She was the first of her siblings to die.
