In some quarters .. the choice of a husband for the Princess Royal was not altogether approved, because Prussia was considered to be in too intimate relations with the reactionary Government of Russia, and it was feared that the Princess would lose those convictions in favour of constitutional liberty and other English notions which had been carefully instilled into her by her father. |

What these relations were is graphically indicated by a casual remark in one of her letters, in which she is provoced into finding fault with Freemasonry, because husbands dare not communicate the secret of it to their wives. Her theory was that between husbands and wife there should be absolutely no secrets, and this theory has rarely come so near perfect realization as in her own case." |

| 76 | The Times. 6. 8. 1901. It was already becoming known that, young as she still was, she held strong oppinions not only on political but on many social questions which were more or less in conflict with Prussian ideas and traditions. Her views with regard to female education and opportunities of social usefulness were much in advance of German sentiment, and her keen interest in literary and artistic questions and even her activity in philantropic causes were often held to overstep what was popularly regarded in Prussia as the legitimate province of a woman. Though she was too wise ever to attempt to break down the rigid barriers of exclusiveness which fenced in the Prussian Court, the personal recognition she bestowed on intellectual eminence in whatever form it was displayed was apt to be resented as derogatory to her position in an essentially military and aristocratic society. Her influence over her husband was known to be considerable, and was viewed with the utmost distrust by the feudal noblesse and the official classes, who suspected her of importing into her adopted country the spirit of English liberalism in which she had been brought up. |

The Times. 6. 8. 1901. Bismarck, who stoutly maintained the
doctrine that in Prussia the political power was entirely in the hands of
the Monarch, except in so far as the Royal prerogative was expressly
limited by the Constitution and he was violently opposed to any such
extension of the Constitution äs the Liberals demanded...
The appointment was extremely distasteful to the Crown Prince and Princess, both of whom were convinced that Prussia, in order to raise Germany to her fitting place among the nations, must adopt and develop genuinely liberal institutions. |
| 79 | The Times. 6. 8. 1901. "The Crown Prince and Princess were regarded by him as the well-intentioned but misguided fomenters of this political mischief-making, and the King was gradually induced to adopt Bismarck's views. Hence arose between King William and his son an estrangement of a good years." |

The Times. 6, 8. 1901. "On June 5. 1863, while at Danzig on a tour
of military inspection, the Crown Prince, speaking in public to Chief
Burgomaster, declared himself opposed to the policy of his father. The
latter demanded a recantation under a threat of depriving the Prince
of his dignities and position. In reply the Prince declined to retract
what he had said, offering to lay down his command and other offices,
and requested permission to retire with his family to some place where
he could not be suspected ot interfering in public affairs. A few days
later he wrote to Bismarck about his position generally and about a
rescript lately issued restricting the liberty of the Press. Of this
rescript he strongly disapproved, and he condemned as unconstitutional
both the measure and the mode of procedure. In conclusion he wrote;
".. I regard those who lead his Majesty the King, my most gracious
father, into such courses as the most dangerous advisers for Crown and
country."
Thus began a struggle between the King's chief adviser and the Heir Apparent which was carried on which varying intensity during the remainder of the Crown Prince's life. The Crown Princess was completely identified with her husband in thought and sympathies, and she was generally supposed to be the more intelligent, the more active, and the more obstinate of the two. She came in, therefore, for a large share of Bismarck's dislike... This hostility was increased by the belief that she was more English than Prussian and was ready to sacrifice the interests of her own country to those of English policy." |

The Crown Princess has left it on record in one of her letters that she considered Duke Frederick of Augustenburg as "one of the noblest of men and wisest of Princes", and she certainly did all in her power to assist him in what she regarded as a righteous cause." |
| 95 | Ebenda. "With regard to any such arrière penseés of Prussian aggrandisement I may state briefly my opinion, namely, that to pursue them would untirely falsify our whole German policy and would probably lead to our defeat in Europe. It would not be the first time that Prussia sought to outwit the world, with the result that she ultimately fell between two stools." |

"Such remarks could not, of course, deter Bismarck from pursuing his own course, and they had the effect of embittering his personal relations with the Heir to the Throne and his consort. He denounced the opposition to his schemes as an intrigue on the part of the Anglo-Coburg clique, and warned the King that the Duke of Coburg - Prince Albert's brother - "has during the past four years shared in every intrigue against your Majesty's internal and foreign policy" and is now "the leader of the anti-Prussian Augustenburg movement." He then respectfully takes the liberty of indicating the influence of the Duke upon the Crown Prince, and points out the connexion between the Duke's views and "the communications from Queen Viktoria which have reached your Majesty through his Royal Highness." |

| 103 | Eulenburg-Hertefeld: Aus 50 Jahren. S. 174. |
| 104 | The Times. "In May 1866, Bismarck was the most widely and most intensely hated man in the country; a few months later, after the brilliant victories and the founding of the Nord German Confederation under the direction of Prussia, he was the most widely popular... The Crown Princess, howewer, was not of those who change their principles so easily. In her opinion the end in view might have been gained far more surely, though doubtless more showly, by an entirely different mode of procedure, The glamour of success never obscured for a moment her keen sense of moral rectitude, and she continued to maintain stoutly that political expedieney could not justify spoliation and other forms of illegality... Thus the old antagonism between Bismarck and "the Palace of the Crown Prince" was kept alive." |

| 262 | Rapport fait au nom de la Commission d'enquête sur les Faits de la guerre, par Paul Doumer, Sénat Année 1919, Session ordinaire, S. 202/204. "II lui a exposé longuement les craints que lui inspire le mauvais état de santé de l'Empereur, les idées politiques et les sentiments du Prince impérial, II prévoit que, si l'Empereur disparaît, il lui faudra marcher au-devant de l'Angleterre. Ce qui est à prévoir dans le cas d'un changement de règne, a dit Bismarck, c'est certainement une tendance de la nouvelle Cour à com- plaire à l'Angleterre et à favoriser tous ce qui tient à ce pays, on y sera d'autant mieux vu qu'on parlera plus anglais. Cela influera nécessairement sur notre politique... Je ne sais pas, jusqu'où l'on voudra aller dans la prédilection qu'on pourra marquer à l'Angleterre. Je ne puis croire cependant qu'on fasse aux Anglais le plaisir de se charger pour eux de faire la guerre á la Russie ... Ce serait une folie ... Le choix du Chancelier est fait. Le Chancelier s'était propose de susciter contre l'Angleterre, avant le changement de regne, une vaste coalition d'inteêts... L'empire britannique était exposé par la réalisation de ce dessein, à la plus formidable épreuve qu'il ait peut-être encore affrontée ... L'étoile de l'Angleterre l'a sauvée... La princesse impériale d'Allemagne venait de faire la preuve de son énergie, de son intelligence et de la direction qu'elle entendait imprimer un jour à la politique de l'Allemagne, par la manière dont elle avait réussi à conjurer le conflict Anglo-russe, et à assurer une nouvelle Paix des Dames, Le prince de Bismarck s'est retourné vers le soleil levant. C'est ce qu'il appelle l'ère des Cobourgs, le triomphe des idées du feu roi Leopold et du feu prince Albert, deux des plus persévérants et des plus dangereux ennemis de la France, que l'histoire moderne ait montrés, |

| 386 | The Times. "Berlin was too full of painful memories to be any longer an agreeable place of residence for the widowed Empress, and the accordingly prepared for herself a charming retreat near Frankfurt. On the well-wooded, picturesque slopes of the Taunus hills, close to the village of Kronberg, she built for herself a charming country house and named it Friedrichshof, in memory of her deceased husband." |

| 388 | The Times. "The young Emperor acted for a time after Bismarck's own heart, and his relations with his mother were consequently far from cordial, She had reason to shed more tears now than after the annexation of Schleswig and Hanover, and once more Bismarck triumphed. This time, howewer, his triumph was of short duration. Before two years had passed he was unceremoniously dismissed from office by the young Monarch whom he had so carefully trained; and when he humiliated himself so far as to request the Empress Frederick to intercede for him, she could reply with truth that he had himself, by destroying her influence, deprived her of the means of effectively complying with his request." |

| 407 | The Times, "At Friedrichshof the Empress had chiefly spent the remaining years of her life, keeping aloof from politics, but following with the keenest interest in an academic spirit all current affairs, political, literary, and artistic, and receiving with unostentatious, cordial hospitality her relations and friends. The strong will, the sharply-defined convictions, the tenacity of purpose, and the combative element in her nature, which always been in some measure restrained by her essentially kindly disposition, became softened and mellowed by age and experience; but the occasional brightening of the eyes, and the heightening of the colour in the cheeks when some subject about which she felt keenly was discussed, showed plainly that the youthful fire which had caused her so much enjoyment and so much suffering in the early periods of her life was not yet extinct, and that a strain of sentiment - one might almost say of sentimentality - still coloured her intellectual conceptions and views. Her sympathy with all that was good and noble in human character and activity, and her constant desire to increase the happiness and alleviate the misery of all who came within her reach, remained with her to the end. Even in mature years her father's early description of her held good: She had a man's head and a child's heart." |
