1892 1980 Appointed Chief Confirmation Days Delighted Guards Hussars Join Kaiser Luise Pictured Prussia Regiment Told Viktoria Wilhelm
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia, the only daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II, as she is pictured in her role as the chief of the 2nd Guards Hussars Regiment. Taken on December 21, 1909, this image showcases the young princess appointed to this prestigious position shortly after her father's death.
Born in 1892 and passing away in 1980, Princess Viktoria Luise was known for breaking barriers and defying gender norms of her time. Just a few days after her confirmation, she was delighted to be named head of the regiment - a role typically reserved for men. In a quote attributed to her at the time, she expressed that "I never told my father I regretted being born a girl; I would have liked so much to be a boy and join the army."
Her legacy lives on through images like these which capture moments of strength and determination in a woman who dared to challenge societal expectations. This photograph serves as a reminder that women have always had an important place in history - even when it comes to traditionally male-dominated roles such as military leadership. Princess Viktoria Luise's story is one of courage and resilience, making her an inspiration for generations to come.
