August 23, 1940
Prince Karl Franz Joseph of Prussia,24, and his fiancee, Princess Henriette of Schonaich-Carolath, 22, "have spent several days" visiting former Kaiser Wilhelm II and his wife, Hermine, at Doorn.
Prince Karl Franz Joseph is the only child of the late Prince Joachim of Prussia, the youngest son of Wilhelm II. Princess Henriette is the second daughter of Kaiserin Hermine. The prince is serving in the Germany army, and was recently awarded the Iron Cross.
I was once privileged to see a photograph claimed to have been taken at this time at a train station. There were a number of women of various ages from young to old. The remarkable thing was that they all resembled Queen Elizabeth at various stages of her life. I, unfortunately, did not have the option to scan the photograph.
