Figure 1.--Duke Ernst married Adelheid (1875-1971). I think that she was also German, but know nothing about her. 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). |
We have no information on Saxe-Altenburg. We are somewhat confused by the different principalities with Saxe in the name. We have some portraits of the royal family, but no information on the principality now. Hopefully our German readers with provide us
some information about Saxe-Altenburg. The only member of the dynasty we know of today is Duke Ernst II. Duke Ernst married Adelheid (1875-1971).

The children are: Hereditary Duke Georg-Moritz (1900-1991), Prince Friedrich-Ernst (1905-1985), Princess Charlotte (1899-1989), and Princess Elisabeth (1903-1991). Their mother like many German mothers was very practical to sailor suits. Except as babies, we only see the boys dressed in sailor suits which thy wore with soft caps. The sailor suits all look to be very traditional styles. Even the girls at times wore sailor suits. The boys' hair was clipped very short, almost shaved. The girls had long hair worn with hair bows. Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Altenburg was ousted on November 12, 1918. The House of Saxe-Altenburg is extinct today.

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.
The only information we have of the children's clothes is from available portraits of the royal family. Their mother like many German mothers was very practical to sailor suits. Except as babies, we only see the boys dressed in sailor suits which thy wore with soft caps. The sailor suits all look to be very traditional styles. Even the girls at times wore sailor suits. The boys' hair was clipped very short, almost shaved. The girls had long hair worn with hair bows.
Like many German royals, the royal family fell as a result of World War I. Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Altenburg was ousted on November 12, 1918. The House of Saxe-Altenburg is extinct today.
