Figure 1.--This portrait of the royal family showthe Duke And Duchess with their four children. Georg-Moritz and Friedrich-Ernst both wear sailor suts along with theie sister Elizabeth. The portrait was probably taken about 1913 or 14, right before World War I. |
Duke Ernst Duchess Adelheid had four children, two boys and two girls. The children are: Hereditary Duke Georg-Moritz (1900-1991), Prince Friedrich-Ernst (1905-1985), Princess Charlotte (1899-1989), and Princess Elisabeth (1903-1991). The oldest was Princess Charlotte and the youngest Prince Friderich-Ernst. The images suggest a very close family, but we have no actual information. Duchess Adelheid clearly had apreference for sailor suits. Notice Elizabeth's rather wlaborate hair style here about 1913 (figure 1).
