March 3, 1923
The London Daily Chronicle reports today that Kaiser Wilhelm II's new wife, Hermine, is expecting a baby. "A family event, I learn, is expected to take place in a few months' time at Doorn House," the correspondent writes. "The Ex-Kaiser is particularly anxious that the first born of the second marriage should not see the light of day 'in exile'". It appears that the Kaiser would like for Hermine to give birth in Corfu, where he would like to regain possesion of a villa there. He also knows that it will be impossible to accompany Hermine, but the Kaiser hopes that his wife "will be permitted to fo there some time before the birth of the child." Hermine is said to be in excellent health.
[Hermine was not pregnant. Fanciful reporting. Morevoer, if Hermine had been pregnant, there was nothing preventing her from going back to Germany to give birth. She was not in exile./]
