November 17, 1918.
Duke Carl Eduard of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Grand Duke Friedrich Franz IV have abdicated their thrones. The Grand Duke, his wife, Alexandra, a British princess by birth, and their children have arrived in Copenhagen, where they were welcomed by the Grand Duke's sister, Queen Alexandrine.
The former duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, which was ruled by Duke Bernhard, has been proclaimed a republic. This has also happened in Baden, where the Grand Duke has abdicated.
