EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, Princess Cecilie of Greece and Hesse (1911-1937), also known as Cecile, is captured with her three young children: Prince Ludwig (1931-37), Prince Alexander (1933-1937), and baby Princess Johanna (1936-39). Cecile was the wife of Prince Georg Donatus of Hesse & by Rhine, and the elder sister of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The image, taken in 1936, portrays a happy family moment, with the children playfully interacting with their mother. However, this moment was short-lived as tragedy struck the family just a few years later. In 1937, on their way to a family wedding in London, Princess Cecilie, her husband, and their two sons were killed in a plane crash. The loss was devastating, leaving baby Johanna as the only surviving child. Johanna was eventually adopted by her uncle and aunt, Prince George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and grew up in the United Kingdom. Sadly, she too died at the young age of three, in 1939, from meningitis. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the love that binds families together, even in the face of unimaginable loss. Princess Cecilie's story is a significant chapter in the history of both Greek and German royalty, as well as the broader history of European royal families. Her tragic death and the fate of her children continue to be a subject of interest and fascination for historians and royal enthusiasts alike.
