Princess Clementine dead at 89


February 16, 1907


Princess Clementine of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha died early this morning at her home in Vienna. She was 89-years-old.
 
Clementine was in 1817, the daughter of King Louis Philippe of France and his wife, Marie-Amalia of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. In 1843, she married Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a member of the Roman Catholic branch of the family. The couple had five children: Prince Philipp (who married Princess Louise of Belgium), Prince August (who married Princess Leopoldine of Brazil), Princess Clotilde (Archduchess Joseph of Austria), Amelie (Duchess Max in Bavaria), and Prince Ferdinand, who was elected Prince of Bulgaria in 1887.

 Ferdinand has four young children by his late wife, Princess Maria Luisa of Bourbon-Parma.
Clementine's husband dies in 1881.
