February 20, 1905
Kaiser Wilhelm II has been playing matchmaker again. It appears that he is encouraging the King Friedrich August of Saxony to remarry, now that the king is divorced from Princess Louise of Belgioum. He would like to see the king choose a German princess, and Wilhelm already has the bride picked out. The princess is question is none other than Princess Feodora of Schleswig-Holstein, who just happens to be the Kaiser's sister-in-law.
There is a little matter, however, about religion. Princess Feodora is Lutheran. The King of Saxony is Roman Catholic, and he would need to seek an annulment from the Vatican in order to remarry in church.
