“BOY PRINCE AND HIS AIDES - Crown Prince Michael lost the throne of Rumania when his father, prodigal King Carol, returned from exile. But he still has a "court" of his own, composed of young fellow cadets. This picture shows him surrounded by his military-looking, even if youthful, staff. The boy prince, who once ruled his native country as king, still usually attends important state ceremonies.

- from the Hamilton Spectator. December 20, 1930. Page 7.

The throne of Holland is not alone in lacking a direct heir. Until recently those of Russia and Italy were at a similar disadvantage. So was that of Servia, or the tragedy of Alexander and Draga had never happened. The mysterious and appalling end of the Prince Rudolf robbed Austria of her heir, and the throne is now destined to be occupied by the Emperor's nephew, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand whose morganatic marriage to the Countess Sophia Choteknow, now Princess of Hohenberg, has cut off the rights of his children to succeed him. King Leopold has for heir his younger brother, a man bordering on seventy. The King of Roumania must leave his crown of iron, the iron of the Turkish guns at Plevna, to Prince Ferdinand, while Abdul Hamid, who took his ensanguined sceptre from the hands of one brother, will all things being normal, pass it on to another brother. Failing an heir to the Netherlandish throne, its next occupant, if he survived the Queen Wilhelmina, would be the wealthy young widowed Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar, himself childless.

"I was always more of a quiet kid, greatly preferring my books and toys, and the company of those that I was familiar with. I suppose that's why Fritz and I got on well -- We were of the same temperament and had more than a couple shared interests. Being a part of such an unconventional family hasn't always been easy... Especially now that I'm more grown and am more aware of tensions brought about by politics and the like. But I wouldn't change it for the world."

Portrait descriptions under the cut!!

Portrait 1: The Berlin Family, painted in more recent times.

(L to R Back) Otto (Order of St. John), Niklot (Reiner's son, Neubrandenburg), Konrad (Berlin), Gilbert (Prussia), Rahela (Gilbert's wife, Romania), Reiner (Brandenburg), Ilse (Potsdam), Johanna (Koenigsberg), (L to R Front) Ludwig (German Empire), Sztefa (Silesia) - Gilbert and Rahela were wed in 1866, after Prince Karl of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen came to the Romanian throne as King Carol I of Romania. The marriage is purely political, but the two maintain a cordial and warm friendship. much to Erzsi's dismay - Niklot is Reiner's son, born from a human lover he had before the 30 Years War. Father and son were only recently reunited in the 1820s. - Sztefa is Gilbert's adopted daughter, taken in during the First Silesian war, and raised in part by Frederick II. Served in the volunteer corps during the Napoleonic era disguised as a man. Is Ludwig's scary lesbian older sister.

Portrait 2: The Vienna family, painted c. 1830s.

(L to R Back) Erzsebet (Hungary), Sztefa, Anneliese (Vienna), Roderich (Austria) (L to R Front) Ludwig, Gilbert - Roderich may be bonded to Austria, but his sister Anneliese, who embodies the capital, takes more of a leading role when it comes to government matters.

"Amintire de la vie din ziua de 10 Mai 1939. Loti & Radu V. Negulescu. Familie Pr. Alex Popescu." / "Memories de la vie on 10 May 1939. Loti & Radu V. Negulescu. Family of Fr. Alex Popescu."

Found photograph taken, most likely, in Ploiești, Romania. This came from a larger group of photographs relating to Pr. Alexandru Popescu-Strejnicu (1898–?), an Orthodox priest who served as deacon of Catedrala Sf. Ioan Botezătorul in Ploiești between 1924 and 1937. I previously posted a childhood photo of him (and a bit more information) here.

Alexandru Popescu-Strejnicu stands in the back, holding the arm of the man smoking a cigarette. Another interesting detail is the children in the front: three of them wear Straja Țării uniforms, and two are giving the SȚ salute (a variant of a Roman salute). SȚ was a monarchist youth group founded under King Carol II in 1935 as a kind of counter to the Legionary Movement/Iron Guard; it grew in influence after 1938 (during Carol II's so-called "royal dictatorship"/the National Renaissance Front government and ban on other political parties) but disappeared in September 1940 with the foundation of the National Legionary State.

Photo found in Bucharest, 4 April 2024.

Lievin de Winne - Portrait of Marie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen - ca 1870

Princess Marie Luise Karoline Alexandra of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (17 November 1845 – 26 November 1912), later Countess of Flanders, was a princess of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, later simply of Hohenzollern. She married Prince Philippe, Count of Flanders, second son of King Leopold I of Belgium, and she was the mother of King Albert I.

Prince Philippe of Belgium, Count of Flanders (Dutch: Filips; 24 March 1837 – 17 November 1905), was the third born and second surviving son of King Leopold I of Belgium and Louise d'Orléans.

Born at the Château de Laeken, near Brussels, Belgium, Philippe was created Count of Flanders on 14 December 1840. Upon the death of his nephew Prince Leopold, Duke of Brabant, he became heir presumptive to the Belgian throne. In 1866, after the abdication of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Prince of Romania, Philippe refused being named the new Romanian sovereign, and the throne was later accepted by Philippe's brother-in-law Carol I.[1] Earlier, he had also refused the crown of Greece, which was offered to him in 1862.

Philippe died in 1905. When his brother King Leopold II died in 1909, Philippe's second son ascended the Belgian throne as King Albert I.

Liévin De Winne (Ghent, 24 January 1821 - Brussels, 13 May 1880) was a Belgian portrait painter who painted the official portrait of Leopold I on which the first postage stamp of Belgium was based.

May I ask who were the possible royal suitors of OTMA and A lexei

Hello!

As I know to Olga there was Prince Ioann Konstantinovich, King Carol II of Romania, King Edward VIII of U.K and King Alexander I of yugoslavia. Some sources also speak about King George VI of U.K and Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich. There was also Grand Duke Constantine Constantinovich (he had a crush on her) and Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich. Prince Christopher of Greece loved her and tried to marry her but Nicholas declined the offer.

To Tatiana there was King Alexander I of Yugoslavia (sources said the he was in love with her), King George VI of U.K and Prince Adalbert of Bavaria.

To Maria there was Prince Louis of Battenberg. King Carol II of Romania asked for her hand but Nicholas declined.

To Anastasia, some sources speak about King Leopold III of Belgium.

Boris of Bulgaria, Peter of Montenegro and Prince Arthur (son of Prince Arthur Duke of Connaught) were also mentioned as possible husbands for the girls.

As for Alexei there was Ileana of Romania, Princess Ingrid (she became Queen of Denmark). Others princesses of Norway and Greece were mentioned too.
