Kaiser Wilhelm II had four sisters and three brothers, who mostly lived in the shadow of their famous brother. This volume brings together for the first time the moving individual biographies of the siblings of the last German Emperor and simultaneously offers an exciting panorama of the era. Sigismund and Waldemar died in childhood. The life paths of "Prince Heinrich of the Navy" of Prussia, Duchess Charlotte of Saxe-Meiningen, Princess Victoria of Schaumburg-Lippe, Queen Sophie of Greece, and Landgravine Margarethe of Hesse, who almost became Queen of Finland, remained closely connected to that of the Emperor throughout their lives. Their very different fates thus provide a multifaceted view of this controversial monarch.
