Anglo-German Royalty
Francis, Duke of Teck with his three sons, Prince Adolphus, Prince Francis and Prince Alexander.
Photo taken at the Wedding of Prince Adolphus to Lady Margaret Grosvenor.
In order to maintain the British Royal Family, King George V had to change the German names but I prefer them.
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Teck and Battenberg sound better😌.
From the Royal Collection
The Duchess of Teck with her sons, Prince Adolphus and Prince Francis.

Prince John Charles Francis of Wales bears three Christian names rarely given to British Princes; indeed probably few people are aware that John was the name given to their Majesties' third and youngest son, the baby Prince who only survived his birth a few hours. There is only one other Charles in our Royal Family, that is the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who, it is said owed his name to Queen Victoria's romantic admiration for the Stuarts. The year-old Prince's name of Francis, is of course, that of his uncle, the good-looking and debonair Prince Francis of Teck. As yet it is too early to say what career Prince John of Wales is destined to pursue, but the days of idle Princes are gone for ever, and doubtless he will in due course enter one of the liberal professions. Royal babies become travellers early, and Prince John is no exception to the rule; he was born at Sandringham a year ago last July, and this is already his second visit to Scotland.

VICTOR: The Vampire Heir PT.2
On his return to England he was created Duke of Clarence and Avondale and Earl of Athlone on 24 May 1890, Queen Victoria's 71st birthday.
During the spring of 1890 Albert and Hélène met and stayed at his sister's home in Scotland. Both their mothers approve as they fall in love. He saw her as someone who is innocent, so he tried to push down those disturbing thoughts that he had of her and what he wanted to do to her. This is the woman that he wants to marry. When he told his grandmother, she didn’t approve because Hélène was a Roman Catholic. On August 29th, Albert obtained permission to meet alone with his grandmother at Balmoral Castle and he brought Hélène with him.
Marrying a catholic would have entailed constitutional forfeiture of his claim to the British throne, pursuant to the Act of Settlement, but Hélène offered to become an Anglican. When Queen Victoria expressed surprise at Hélène's offer, Hélène wept and insisted that her willingness to do so was for the sake of love. Moved by the couple's desperate plea for her help, Victoria agreed to support them but warned that she thought there were many obstacles likely to render success unlikely. This included her expectation that Hélène's father would not consent to his daughter's change of faith.
He offered to renounce his succession rights if necessary, writing to his brother: "You have no idea how I love this sweet girl now, and I feel I could never be happy without her".His mother agreed with the match, as did his father.
However Queen Victoria's fears of insurmountable opposition from multiple sources proved accurate.Her prime minister, Lord Salisbury, expressed objections to the alliance to the Queen in writing at length on 9 September. Hélène's father refused to countenance the marriage, was adamant she could not convert and informed the Queen of his decision. He granted permission, nonetheless, for Hélène to personally beseech Pope Leo XIII for a dispensation to marry Clarence, but the pope confirmed her father's verdict and the courtship ended.
He never got over his feelings for Hélène. Even though he felt that way and still was sleeping with Stephen he knew that he had to get married. By the next year he met his soon to be bride Princess Victoria Mary of Teck who went by May. There was something about her that made her interested in him. He thought that he may not love her but he probably would grow to love her. His grandmother considered her as ideal, charming, sensible and pretty. “You can say that she’s a female version of you Eddy.”
So on December 3rd he proposed to her at Luton Hoo, which she accepted. The wedding was set for February 27th 1892.
As wedding plans were under discussion, he fell ill with influenza. It looks as if he was going to die and he was. He was surrounded by his parents, his sisters Maud and Victoria, his brother George, May and her parents.
three physicians (Alan Reeve Manby, Francis Laking and William Broadbent) and three nurses were present. His father’s chaplain, Canon Frederick Hervey, stood over Albert Victor reading prayers for the dying.
Mary told everyone that she wanted to be alone with him and they granted her wish. When she made sure that everyone was out of the room she slit her wrist and told Albert to drink her blood. Very confused as he weakly asked her what she was doing. She told him to trust her and drink as much as he needed.
He agreed and drank her blood. He then “died” and she had to play her part as the hysterically grief stricken fiancé. She didn’t want no one to touch his body as he slept. The Queen wrote to her and told her that she understood her feelings as she had felt that way when she lost her Albert. Mary told her to just trust her and that he was only sleeping and don’t tell anyone that he’s dead.
Stephen starved himself to death after learning about the news.
Mary stayed by his side for a whole week until he woke up. He had a lot of questions and he was thirsty. Mary told him that he was like her, a vampire. She explained that she’s a descendent of Vlad III and his wife who were the first vampires. The gene sometimes skipped Generations but in her case it didn’t because her father had one as well.
She told him that he would need to wear special jewelry for him to survive in the sun just like her Diamond necklace that she always wears. She told him that she’ll teach him everything. He was sad about Stephen’s death, he even called him his first love. Everyone was happy about him being alive. Mary gave him a ring made with the special metal like her necklace.

Here is Princess Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck, Queen Victoria’s cousin, with her husband Prince Franz in 1866.
The couple had married with no fortune between them, so in 1867, Queen Victoria granted them a grace and favour apartment at Kensington Palace.
On 26 May 1867, Mary Adelaide gave birth to their first child, Princess Mary of Teck, who would go on to become Queen Mary, Consort of King George V. Queen Victoria visited her cousin at Kensington and noted in her journal, “in the former bedroom, in which Mama and I slept, [I found] dear Mary, Aunt Cambridge, and the baby - a very fine child, with quantities of hair - brushed up into a curl on the top of its head!”

Of course, the great event of next week is the Royal wedding, the first celebrated at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, since the somewhat ill-fated marriage of Princess Christian's pretty and accomplished daughter, Princess Louise of Schleswig-Holstein, to Prince Aribert of Anhalt. Princess Alice of Albany is said to have selected the place where she is to become Princess Alexander of Teck on account of the fact that her much-loved parents were married there, and because she herself has such intimate and affectionate associations with Windsor Castle. On the occasion of the last Royal wedding there, the German Emperor and Empress – each of them a first cousin of the bride – were present, and on this occasion their Majesties guests will include a Crowned Head and his Consort – the King and Queen of Wurtemberg, whose connection with the royal bride is somewhat complicated, as the King is only her uncle owing to the fact that his first wife was her mother's sister.
As this is be essentially a “young” wedding by far the prettiest sight of all will be the two little bridesmaids, the “two Marys” the only daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the only daughter of the Duke of Teck. All five are to wear blue and silver costumes and wreaths of forget-me-nots – a scheme of colouring singularly becoming to the two Princesses of Connaught. Prince Alexander will be supported by his brother, Prince Francis, as best man, and though the bride will be given away by the King, she will also have a supporter in the person of her brother, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Princess Alice has received an extraordinary number of presents of a useful kind. She seems to have allowed it to become known that she does not wish to add greatly to her stock of jewels, and this would be indeed, unnecessary, as the bridegroom already possesses some very fine jewels, which belonged to his mother, and which he will, of course, give to his wife. The King and Queen set the example of giving the young couple a useful gift, their present being a fine service of silver plate – of more actual use than would appear at first sight, for even the most unostentatious of Royal persons is not unfrequently called upon to give a banquet. The engagement ring is a sapphire surrounded by fine diamonds and one fo the first and most appreciated gifts received by the bride-elect was a charming minature of her fiancé, painted to the order of the Duchess of Albany. As the Prince does not intend to give up his profession on his marriage, it is probably that the Princess will find herself quartered in South Africa ere long. It is said that she regards the prospect with great pleasure, though the thought must fill her mother, who has been so devoted to Princess Alice from infancy, with a good deal of apprehension.
Prince and Princess Alexander of Teck will begin their married life at Brocket Hall, and it is a sign of the times that a Royal couple should honeymoon in a mansion lent to them by one who began life as a herd boy in Scotland! But Lord Mount-Stephen is one of the most splendid and estimable members of the Upper House, and many will think that it is he who is conferring an honour on the young couple. Brocket Hall has many historic associations. It was a favourite home of two great statesmen, Lord Melbourne and Lord Palmerston, and Queen Victoria, not long after her marriage, spent there a few days, a splendid lunch being served in her honour in the Ball Room. Brocket is a fine, comfortable old house with a most delightful garden and park, through which meanders the River Lea. The Prince and Princess of Wales have stayed there.
The King has decided to hold a Chapter of the Order of the Garter on the eve of the Royal wedding. The ceremonial will take place in the Throne Room, and a unique feature will be the presence of our popular Queen as the one Lady of the Garter. The oldest member of the Order, the venerable Duke of Cambridge, will not, it is feared, be well enough to be present. After the Chapter, the King will entertain the Knights at a great banquet in St. George's Hall.
