The Queen of Hannover was "taken suddenly ill Saturday night at Gmunden," according to the New York Times. This necessitated "an operation, which was successfully performed to-day."
Queen Marie was born Princess Alexandrine Marie Wilhelmine Katharine Charlotte Theresia Henrietta Luise Pauline Elisabeth Friederike Georgine of Saxe-Altenberg on April 14, 1818. She married Georg, Crown Prince of Hannover on February 18, 1843 at Hannover. Georg, who was also HRH Prince George of Cumberland, a grandson of George III, and Queen Victoria's first cousin, succeeded to the throne of Hannover when his father, Ernst August died in 1851.
King Georg V reigned until 1866, when Prussia annexed Hannover. The Hannover Royal Family went into exile at Gmunden in Austria. King Georg V died in 1878.
