EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting engagement portrait, Princess Cecilie of Greece, born in 1911 and known as Cecile, is radiantly beaming at her beloved fiancé, Hereditary Grand Duke Georg Donatus of Hesse and by Rhine. The photograph, taken in 1931, captures the young couple's joy and excitement as they embark on their journey towards marriage. Princess Cecilie was the younger sister of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who would later become the consort of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Her fiancé, Georg Donatus, was the eldest son of Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine, making him the Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine. Their engagement was a significant event in European royal history, as it brought together two prominent royal families - the Greek and the German. The union was also politically significant, as it helped to strengthen the ties between Greece and Germany at a time when diplomatic relations between the two countries were strained. The couple's engagement was celebrated widely, with the press reporting on every detail of their plans for the wedding. The bride-to-be looked stunning in her engagement gown, which was described as "simple yet elegant," while the groom cut a dashing figure in his military uniform. Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived. Just three years after their wedding, in 1937, Georg Donatus was killed in a tragic plane crash, leaving Cecilie a widow at the young age of 26. The tragic loss deeply affected the Greek and German royal families, and Cecilie went on to live a quiet life away from the public eye. This beautiful engagement portrait is a poignant reminder of a love story that was cut short, but left a lasting impact on European royal history.
