ROYAL DEATHS FROM SUICIDE COMPILED BY SUSAN FLANTZER Below are some suicide prevention resources. * International Association for Suicide Prevention * National Institute of Mental Health: Suicide Prevention * Wikipedia: List of suicide crisis lines An interesting observation: Six of the twelve people listed below are descendants of Queen Victoria: Prince Alfred of Edinburgh, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; Prince Joachim of Prussia; Princess Feodora of Saxe-Meiningen; Prince Ludwig Rudolph of Hanover; Princess Margarita of Leiningen; and Prince Ernst Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Those six people and Adolf Friedrich VI, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz are descendants of King George III. This does not purport to be a complete list. All images are from Wikipedia unless otherwise indicated. ********************** RUDOLF, CROWN PRINCE OF AUSTRIA * Born: August 21, 1858 at Schloss Laxenburg, the summer retreat of the Habsburgs near Vienna, Austria * Parents: Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria and Elisabeth ofBavaria
* Married: Princess Stéphanie of Belgium in 1881 * Died: January 30, 1889, aged 30, at Mayerling, a hunting lodge in the Vienna Woods in Mayerling, Austria * Buried: Imperial Crypt at the Capuchin Church in Vienna, Austria * Unofficial Royalty: Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria At Mayerling, a hunting lodge in the Vienna Woods which Rudolf had purchased, Rudolf shot his 17-year-old mistress Baroness Mary Vetsera and then shot himself in an apparent suicide plot. Rudolf wrote in his farewell letter to his wife Stéphanie: “Dear Stéphanie! You are free from my presence and plague; be happy in your way. Be good for the poor little one, who is the only thing left of me.” After Rudolf’s death, Emperor Franz Joseph had the Mayerling hunting lodge changed into a monastery for the nuns of the Discalced Carmelite Order, an order in which members dedicate themselves to a life of prayer. Prayers are still said daily by the nuns for the repose ofRudolf’s soul.
********************** PRINCE ALFRED OF EDINBURGH, HEREDITARY PRINCE OF SAXE-COBURG AND GOTHA * Born: October 15, 1874 at Buckingham Palace in London, England * Parents: Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia * Died: February 6, 1899, aged 24, at Martinnsbrunn Sanatorium in Gratsch, near Meran, Austria, now Merano, Italy * Buried: Ducal Mausoleum at the Glockenburg Cemetery in Coburg, Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, now in Bavaria, Germany * Unofficial Royalty: Prince Alfred of Edinburgh, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha In January 1899, Alfred was noticeably absent from the celebrations for his parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. The details surrounding his death were never formally given, and vary from source to source. Some say he was suffering from a breakdown, others a tumor, others tuberculosis. More than likely, he was suffering serious effects of syphilis he had contracted some years earlier. It is generally accepted that Prince Alfred shot himself while the rest of the family was gathered for the anniversary celebrations. Having survived the gunshot, he was cared for at Schloss Friedenstein in Gotha, Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha for several days, before being moved, against the doctors’ recommendation, to the Martinnsbrunn Sanatorium in Gratsch, near Meran, Austria (now Merano, Italy). This was apparently done at the direction of his mother who was both angry and embarrassed that this all happened while the whole family was gathered together. Alfred died at the sanatorium. ********************** PRINCESS SOPHIE OF SAXE-WEIMAR-EISENACH * Born: July 25, 1888 in Düsseldorf, Kingdom of Prussia, now in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany * Parents: Prince Wilhelm of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and Princess Gerta of Ysenburg and Büdingen * Died: September 18, 1913, aged 25, in Heidelberg, Grand Duchy of Baden, now in Baden-Württemberg, Germany * Buried: Weimarer Fürstengruft in the Historical Cemetery in Weimar, Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, now in Thuringia, Germany * Wikipedia: Princess Sophie of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach Sophie shot herself in the forehead in an apparent reaction to her family’s refusal to allow her to marry Hans von Bleichröder, the son of Gerson von Bleichröder, an influential banker. ********************** ADOLF FRIEDRICH VI, GRAND DUKE OF MECKLENBURG-STRELITZ * Born: June 17, 1882 in Neustrelitz, Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, now in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany * Parents: Adolf Friedrich V, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Princess Elisabeth of Anhalt * Died: February 23, 1918, aged 35, in Neustrelitz, Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, now in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany * Buried: Love Island, a small island off Castle Island in Mirow, Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, now in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,Germany
* Unofficial Royalty: Adolf Friedrich VI, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz A woman who Adolf Friedrich had a relationship years earlier claimed to have correspondence that linked Adolf Friedrich to “certain homosexual circles” and threatened to release them to the public unless he gave in to her demands for more money. With World War I still raging, and the possibility of these letters being made public, Adolf Friedrich left his home in Neustrelitz on the evening of February 23, 1918, to take his dog for a walk. The following morning, his body was found in a nearby canal with a gunshot wound to his head. He left behind a suicide note which suggested that a woman was attempting to smear his name. However, his close friend, Princess Daisy of Pless suggested that he had developed severe depression over the war and the loss of his beloved grandmother. ********************** PRINCE JOACHIM OF PRUSSIA * Born: December 17, 1890 in Potsdam, Kingdom of Prussia, now in Brandenburg, Germany * Parents: Wilhelm II, German Emperor, King of Prussia and Princess Augusta Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein * Married: Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt in 1916 * Died: July 18, 1920, aged 29, at Villa Leignitz in Sanssouci Parkin Potsdam, Germany

He shot himself with a revolver at Villa Leignitz in Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, Germany. He was found by his elder brother August Wilhelm and taken to the Saint Joseph Hospital in Potsdam, where he died the following day. ********************** PRINCESS FEODORA OF SAXE-MEININGEN, PRINCESS HEINRICH XXX REUSS OFKÖSTRITZ
* Born: May 12, 1879 in Potsdam, Kingdom of Prussia, now in Brandenburg, Germany * Parents: Bernhard III, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, and Princess Charlotte of Prussia * Married: Prince Heinrich XXX Reuss of Köstritz in 1898 * Died: August 26, 1945, aged 66, in Hirschberg, Silesia, Provisional Government of National Unity now Jelenia Góra, Poland * Buried: Schloss Neuhof now in Radociny-Kowary, Poland * Wikipedia: Princess Feodora of Saxe-Meiningen, Princess Heinrich XXX Reuss of Köstritz Feodora’s mother was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Feodora suffered poor health most of her adult life. She constantly battled with various physical ailments, insomnia, and severe depression, similar to the health problems of her mother. Feodora spent the last years of her life at the Sanatorium Buchwald-Hohenwiese, near Hirschberg, Silesia, now in Poland. Apparently tired of her suffering, Feodora died by suicide by putting her head in a gas oven. Researchers found Feodora’s grave and did DNA analysis on her remains, believing that the results would show that she had the genetic disease porphyria , the same disease her ancestor King George III supposedly suffered from. The analysis did show that she had porphyria which was most likely the cause of her many ailments. ********************** PRINCE LUDWIG RUDOLPH OF HANOVER * Born: November 21, 1955 in Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany * Parents: Ernst August IV, Hereditary Prince of Brunswick, Prince of Hanover and Princess Ortrud of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg * Married: Countess Isabella von Thurn-Valsassina-Como-Vercelli in1987

He then got in his car and drove away. Several hours later Ludwig Rudolph was found near his family’s hunting lodge. He was in his car with the motor running and had shot himself. Ludwig Rudolph and his wife left a ten-month-old son who was raised by his maternalgrandparents.
********************** PRINCESS MARGARITA OF LEININGEN, PRINCESS OF HOHENZOLLERN * Born: May 9, 1932 in Coburg, Bavaria, Germany * Parents: Karl, 6th Prince of Leiningen and Grand Duchess Maria Kirillovna of Russia * Married: Friedrich Wilhelm, Prince of Hohenzollern in 1951 * Died: June 16, 1994, aged 62, in Überlingen, Baden-Württemberg,Germany

* Friedrich Christian, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1708 – 1769), married Viktoria Charlotte von Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym,
had two daughters, divorced Sophia Magdalene’s father Christian Heinrich of Brandenburg-Kulmbach was the father of two reigning Margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth and a Queen Consort of Denmark and Norway but never ruled as a sovereign himself. His title of Margrave was a nominal title. Because Christian Heinrich had few resources and was in debt, in 1694 he accepted the invitation of his relative, Georg Friedrich II, Margrave ofBrandenburg-Ansbach
,
to move in with his family at Schloss Schönberg where Sophia Magdelena was born in 1700. In 1703, Christian Heinrich signed the Contract of Schönberg. Under the terms of this contract, he renounced his succession rights in Anhalt and Bayreuth in favor of Prussia. Friedrich I, King in Prussia then granted Christian Heinrich the use of Schloss Weferlingen(link in German)
now in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. Four-year-old Sophia Magdalene moved to Schloss Weferlingen with her family. When she was eight-years-old, Sophia Magdalene’s father died at the age of 47, three months before the birth of his last child.

Magdalene’s distant relative, Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.
Christiane Eberhardine’s husband converted to Catholicism to become King of Poland, however, she remained a staunch Lutheran throughout her life. Besides Sophia Magdalene, Christiane Eberhardine took in several relatives to educate them including Sophia Magdalene’s sister Sophie Caroline and Charlotte Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel who married Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich of Russia. the son and heir of Peter I (the Great), Emperor of All Russia.

In 1721, Crown Prince Christian of Denmark and Norway,
the son and heir of Frederik IV, King of Denmark and Norway,
was traveling throughout Europe seeking a princess to become his wife. At the court of Augustus II, King of Poland, Elector of Saxony, he fell in love with Sophia Magdalene who was then serving as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Christiane Eberhardine. Although Sophia Magdalene came from an insignificant, poor family, King Frederik IV granted permission for the couple to marry. Christian and Sophie Magdalene were married on August 7, 1721, at Pretzsch Castle in the Electorate of Saxony, now in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Christian and Sophia Magdalene had one son and two daughters: * Frederik V, King of Denmark and Norway(1723
– 1766), married (1) Louisa of Great Britain,
daughter of King George II of Great Britain,
had five children including Christian VII, King of Denmark and Norwayand

The coronation of the new King and Queen of Denmark and Norway was held on June 6, 1731, in the church at Frederiksborg Castle. A new crown was
made for Sophia Magdalene because she refused to wear the crown that the despised Queen Anna Sophie, her husband’s stepmother and longtime mistress of King Frederik IV, had worn. The vast majority of the Danish crown jewels come from Sophia Magdalene’s collection. Sophie Magdalen’s crown and other crown jewels can be seen today, at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Sophia Magdalene never forgot that she came from a poor family and she never forgot that more fortunate people helped her family. She was responsible for bringing several family members to Denmark. Sophie Magdalen’s mother, Sophie Christiane of Wolfstein, came to Denmark during her daughter’s first pregnancy in 1723 and remained in Denmark, living at Sorgenfri Palacein Kongens Lyngby,
Denmark. When she died in 1737, she was buried at Roskilde Cathedralin Roskilde,
Denmark, the burial site of the Danish royal family. Two of the Queen’s brothers became Danish admirals. Her widowed sister Sophie Caroline was brought to the Danish court in 1735. In 1737, Sophia Magdalene founded the Vallø Stift(Noble Vallø
Foundation for Unmarried Daughters). The foundation was headed by an abbess from a princely house and Sophia Magdalene appointed her sister Sophie Caroline as the first abbess.

ROYAL DEATHS FROM SMALLPOX COMPILED BY SUSAN FLANTZER Smallpox was an infectious disease caused by a virus. The initial symptoms of the disease included fever and vomiting. This was followed by the formation of sores in the mouth and a skin rash. The skin rash turned into fluid-filled bumps with a dent in the center. The bumps then scabbed over and fell off, leaving scars Smallpox, now eradicated, was a serious contagious disease that killed many and left many survivors scarred. The disease knew no class boundaries and royalty was as likely to suffer from it as the common folk. Smallpox was a leading cause of death in the 18th century. It killed an estimated 400,000 Europeans each year in the 18th century. A number of sovereigns died from smallpox including (in death order): Willem II, Prince of Orange; Johann Georg IV, Elector of Saxony; Queen Mary II of England; Emperor Higashiyama of Japan; Joseph I, Holy Roman Emperor; King Luis I of Spain; Peter II, Emperor of All Russia; Louise Hippolyte, Sovereign Princess of Monaco; Ulrika Eleonora, Queen of Sweden; King Louis XV of France; and Maximilian III Joseph, Elector ofBavaria.
Many royal children also succumbed to smallpox. King Ferdinand IV of Naples and Sicily and Maria Carolina of Austria lost seven children tosmallpox.
King William III of England, born Willem III, Prince of Orange, who reigned England jointly with his first cousin and wife Queen Mary II following the Glorious Revolution of 1688 in which Mary’s father and William’s uncle King James II was deposed, has a particularly sad smallpox history. William was born eight days after his father Willem II, Prince of Orange died from smallpox. His mother Mary, Princess Royal, Princess of Orange died from smallpox when William was ten-years-old. William’s wife Queen Mary II also died from smallpox. Before Edward Jenner developed the smallpox vaccinethat contained the
cowpox virus in 1796 and that ultimately lead to the eradication of smallpox, there was another way to possibly prevent smallpox called variolation and it was first seen in China in the fifteenth century. In 1716, Lady MaryWortley Montagu
accompanied
her husband to Turkey where he was to serve as the British ambassador. While she was in Turkey, Lady Mary observed the Turkish practice of smallpox variolation or inoculation. Live smallpox virus in the liquid taken from a smallpox blister in a mild case of the disease was put into a cut of a healthy person. After the inoculation, Lady Mary observed that those inoculated “are well for eight days. Then the fever seizes them and they keep their beds two days seldom three. They have rarely more than twenty or thirty pustules on their face, which leave no mark, and then they are as well as before their inoculation.” However, there was some risk using a live virus. About 3% of those inoculated developed serious smallpox and died. Others spent weeks recovering, but that was preferable to catching smallpox with its mortality rate of 20–40% and scarred survivors.

The inoculation was done on March 3, 1775. Two-year-old Princess Sophia had no side effects from the inoculation. However, Princess Caroline was one of the 3% of those inoculated who developed serious smallpox and she died. ******************** PHILIP OF NAPLES AND SICILY, DUKE OF CALABRIA, INFANTE OF SPAIN * Born: June 13, 1747 at the Palace of Portici in Portici, Kingdom of Naples, now in Italy * Parents: King Carlos III of Spain and Maria Amalia of Saxony * Died: September 19, 1777, aged 30, at the Palace of Portici in Portici, Kingdom of Naples, now in Italy * Buried: Basilica of Santa Chiara in Naples, Kingdom of Naples, nowin Italy
