About Sophie
[WILHELM
(1906-1940, Prince of Prussia, eldest son of Crown Prince Wilhelm, 1882-1951, and grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II) and his bride
DOROTHEA
(1907-1972, née von Salviati)]
Charming unsigned Press Portrait Photograph, by Wide World Photos,
showing them full length, three quarter or full face, he in military uniform, she in her simple but elegant wedding dress holding a bouquet of white flowers, leaving the Cathedral after the religious ceremony, the Prince laughing as he recognises one of the soldiers lining the entrance and who is saluting, press 'flimsy' on verso, 9" x 7", Bonn, 3th June
The couple were fellow students at Bonn. By marrying Dorothea, Prince Wilhelm renounced his rights as eldest son. At this date the ex-Kaiser still hoped for a Hohenzollern restoration, and disapproved of any spouse that was not "a thoroughbred". Prince Wilhelm died early in the war in Belgium.
