A duchy as a wedding gift
May 20, 1913
Semi-official reports in Berlin confirm that Kaiser Wilhelm II will give the Duchy of Brunswick as a wedding gift to his daughter, and future son-in-law, Prince Ernst August of Hanover. The New York Times states that the Emperor will declare Brunswick an independent duchy with Ernst August as the reigning duke and Victoria Luise as his consort.
The Federal Council of the Empire has already "completed the legal and political formalities to that end."
