Those pictures were taken at the devonshire ball in 1897. In my opinion Daisy had one of the best costumes =D

I have just finished reading a chapter on the Mecklenburgs in Ghislain de Diesbach's Secrets of the Gotha. " It was said that he had been the lover of Princess Daisy  of Pless, a famous beauty of the period, whom William II had idolised platonically, and that the emperor , in order to dispose of his rival(Adolphus-Frederick VI), had threatened to expose certain facts damaging to his honor as a German prince.  So he during a walk through the forest he committed suicide a few months before the fall of the empire.  Death was said to be accidental, but the truth was soon known, although the reasons for his action remained obscure."  I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this or read any memoirs that allude to this episode?

I have the same book and have been curious about this for some time. Burke's Royal Families [vol.1] says only the he died by suicide via a gun.  He was Mecklenburg-Strelitz and the only;y other book I have on them is in German, which I do not read.
