    Crown Prince Rudolph was the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, but commited suicide along with his fiancee in 1889. HIs younger brother Franz Ferdinand became crown prince. His assassination in 1914 sparked WW I. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf,_Crown_Prince_of_Austria The Prince & his fiancee died under mysterious circumstances still not fully explained to this day.

    ck out his girlfriend, and the story of his involvement in the Mayerling Incident, a "Romeo and Juliet" sort of murder / suicide. www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3120291717/
  • Pilsenaaa said:
    from reading history it seems to me that Rudolf was murdered together with his mistress
  • Benja Harney said:
    nice!

German Royalty (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    the youngest Prince also renounced all claim to the throne so he could marry below his station, which the former Kaiser forbade.
  • Wystan said:
    Copied by the Bain Agency from a German souvenir postcard. This appears to be a composite portrait of the three, each of whom was photographed separately. That would account for the shadow being on the right half of the Kaiser's face, while on the left half of his son's. And the kid is out of proportion to both of his elders.

    Is this Frederick William Victor Augustus Ernest (German: Friedrich Wilhelm Victor August Ernst) (6 May 1882 – 20 July 1951) of the House of Hohenzollern who was the last Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire?
  • selective rose said:
    It certainly looks like Wilhelm, and near as I can tell he was the only Crown Prince around that time (his brothers just being Princes). But 1910-15 seems a bit late considering lack of moustache and military uniform. Wilhelm was born in 1882 and so would've been 28-33 at that time, with his eldest son (also Wilhelm) already 4 to 9 years old. I suspect this is more what he would've looked like circa 1910. Not at all scientific, but to me this looks more like a 20-year-old lad, circa 1900 or 1905.

    Bain used a lot of older stock photos for their coverage of royalty, see for instance...

    trialsanderrors Ah, thanks for the explanation.
