Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm engaged

September 4, 1904. German newspapers are reporting that Kaiser Wilhelm II's eldest son, Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, is about to become engaged to Duchess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, sister of the reigning Grand Duke. The news was "reported with some positiveness" in Mecklenburg newspapers, but has not yet been confirmed by Mecklenburg officials. Cecilie's sister, Alexandrine, is the wife of Prince Christian of Denmark, the eventual heir to the throne.
