Cecilie, the last German Crown Princess

The last German Crown Princess, through marriage to Crown Prince Wilhelm (son of Keiser Wilhelm II), was Cecilie Auguste Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin ( 1886 – 1954.) She was the daughter of Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna and Friedrick-Franz III, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Therefore, through her mother, she was a Romanov. Cecilie and her husband never got to reign in Germany because of WWI.

It has always amazed me that Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna, who always lived as she wished and at times scandalously so, could marry her children so well. However, after Cecilie married, Anastasia’s visits to her were severely restricted by the Keiser. German royalty wanted Anastasia as far as possible from her daughter.

Cecilie was probably the most beautiful European Princess of her time, with the Mikhailovichi height (she was her husband's height - 5'11 or so), beautiful dark eyes, and abundant dark hair. Unfortunately, her marriage to the German Crown Prince Wilhelm was not happy as he was constantly unfaithful to her. In between those infidelities, they managed to have six children. One of their daughters had Down Syndrome, and the child always appeared in all photographs and family events (as it should be), which at the time was not usual.

Cecilie was beloved by the German people, and her exquisite sense of fashion was copied in her youth. Most importantly, she took on quite a bit of charity work, preferring to get involved with causes that aimed at improving women's education. During a visit in 1911 to the United Kingdom, Cecilie developed a friendship with Queen Mary, which lasted until the Queen died.

From left to right: Prince Knud, Queen Alexandrine of Denmark, Cecilie, Crown Princess of Germany, Christian X with his son Frederick standing in front of him, Princess Alexandra of Hanover and Grand Duke Frederick Francis IV of Mecklenburg-Schwerin

Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1879 – 1952) was the elder child and first daughter of Frederick Francis III, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and of Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna of Russia, a grandchild of Nicholas I (and hence the Romanov connection, which will appear at other junctions). Alexandrine was Queen of Denmark from 1912 to 1947 and Queen of Iceland from 1918 to 1944 as the spouse of King Christian X.

Alexandrine younger siblings were: Her only brother, Duke Frederick Francis, who in 1897 succeeded their father as Fredrick Francis IV, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and her only sister Duchess Cecilie, who married the German Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, eldest son of German Emperor William II (but never got to reign.) So both Alexandrine and Cecilie's ancestry was mostly German but being great-granddaughters of Nicholas I (through their mother), there were certainly Romanovs (we all know that by the twentieth century the Romanovs were mostly of German descent.) Queen Alexandrine and King Christian X had two children, Prince Frederik (IX) and Prince Knud (later hereditary prince).

Queen Alexandrine played the piano to an almost professional standard. She was of a shy disposition and had difficulty getting used to public attention during her first years as queen. She preferred to avoid the media limelight but performed her functions in an exemplary manner. In the home, she was responsible for her two boys' education. Queen Alexandrine undertook extensive charity work until her death and was an avid golf player and photographer who also produced needlework to a high standard.
