  The Schmidt-Nielsens divorced in the mid-1960s; his memoir "The Camel's Nose" is a detailed account of their work and life together: www.amazon.com/Camels-Nose-Memoirs-Curious-Scientist/dp/1...

Duke & Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Seems to be Victoria Adelaide (1885-1970) and Charles Edward (1884-1954). The couple had five children; they were forced to abdicate from his "ducal throne" in 1918, after WWI. Charles, a grandson of Queen Victoria, later joined the Nazi Party and was head of the German Red Cross. They are maternal grandparents to the current King of Sweden. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Victoria_Adelaide_of_Schle... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Edward,_Duke_of_Saxe-Coburg...

• swanq said:

  Charles sided with Germany in WWI and was in the news in November 1914 because he narrowly escaped being killed by a shell that exploded near him, See NYT of November 25, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D03E2DA1E3EE033A...

• swanq said:

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carl_Eduard_Sachsen_Coburg_und... is a 1905 picture of him. I think the photo here must date from about the same period, which is both when he became the Duke and when he and Victoria married.

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks pennyrichardsca for providing the link to their individual stories, and thanks swanq, for finding the article describing the incident for which he may have been in the news. I'll untangle the spelling of the name the next time we update the record.
