Book Description
Excerpt from A German Prince and His Victim In the year 1823, there appeared in Paris, from the pen of a young Greek lady, a work which created a profound sensation, filling the Public with horror and amazement, whilst fashionable cosmopolitan society learned, for the first time, full details of a notorious and widely discussed affair. The scandal involved Ernst, reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, concerning whom this lady, adducing convincing proofs, made accusations of so terrible a nature, that a storm of indignation was aroused against H.H., who already bore an unenviable reputation. In consequence of these revelations, the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld obtained a legal separation from her husband, with whom her brief married life had been unhappy in the extreme, and later she insisted upon a divorce; although this entailed parting from her elder son, Ernst, and from the little one she adored - Leopold, better known as Albert, the Prince Consort of Queen Victoria.
