Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia, youngest child of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, died at Hannover on December 11, 1980.
She married HRH Prince Ernst August of Hannover in Berlin on May 24, 1913. Their marriage was the last royal occasion that King George V, Emperor Nicholas II, and Kaiser Wilhelm II were together.
