Herminy von Reuss) p.13 (Hermina (1887-1947)) OCLC (24 March 2011): (German library hdg.: Hermine, Reuss, Ältere Linie, Prinzessin) Wikipedia (24 March 2011): Princess Hermine Reuss of Greiz (German: Hermine Prinzessin Reuss zu Greiz) (17 December 1887 Greiz, Germany-7 August 1947 Frankfurt (Oder), Germany) was the second wife of Wilhelm II, German Emperor (1859 - 1941), and as such used the titles of German Empress and Queen of Prussia; Upon marriage to William II, Hermine acquired the titles of German Empress and Queen of Prussia, even though William was no longer reigning (he continued to use these titles). By longstanding tradition, a woman is entitled to the royal titles, styles and rank of her husband if the marriage is equal. The marriage complied to the Prussian house laws as Hermine was born of a sovereign house. Her titles, by birth, marriage and courtesy, were: Her Serene Highness Princess Hermine Reuss of Greiz (1887-1907); Her Serene Highness Princess Hermine of Schönaich-Carolath (1907-1922); Her Imperial & Royal Majesty The German Empress, Queen of Prussia (1922-1941); Her Imperial & Royal Majesty The Dowager German Empress, Dowager Queen of Prussia (1941-1947)) |
