Children of Kaiser Wilhelm & Empress Augusta Victoria (Dona)
Does anybody happen to have a scan of the picture from Viktoria Luise's book "The Kaiser's Daughter" where she is posed as a little girl with her parents and all her brothers? I'd love to have a digital copy of that, or any other pic of Wilhelm and his large family together.

Re: Children of Kaiser Wilhelm & Empress Augusta Victoria (Dona)
Can do Annie! I just got the book and I'll be glad to scan it and I have TONS of Wilhelm and his children together. VL is another favorite of mine (list seems endless, doesn't it?) and I've collected a lot of group photos--Wilhelm apparently LOVED to have family photos done for mass publication. I'll get right on it!

Ella has sent me a large number of pics of this family and if anyone else is interested I will upload and post them. Otherwise I will keep them for myself. So let me know! There are also some colorize postcard looking ones. A lot of very sweet ones of the kids. Thanks Ella!

I really did send quite a few, maybe if Annie wants, she could pick the cutest or most interesting?

Re: Children of Kaiser Wilhelm & Empress Augusta Victoria (Dona)
Okay, I'll start working on them!
Since many of them are bitmap format (which is a huge file and usually doesn't post as well as jpg's) I'm going to try to convert them in paint before I upload them. Thanks again for the wonderful pics Ella!

Whoops! Didn't realize they were .bmp
I hate those. I'll see if I have any copies in .jpg and see about posting them.

The Kaiser, Dona and the Children
"Dona" is a Spanish Princess or Queen right? The Kaiser married into the Spainsh Royal Family? Wasn't he in love w/ G.D. Elizabeth (Alix's sister) at one point?

It was a nickname.
"Whatever the reasons that caused Willy to decide to marry Princess Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg, physical beauty couldn't have been very prominent. But
Dona
, as the utterly unexceptional princess was called by her family, possessed an appearance of robust fecundity that appealed to a dynastically minded future emperor."

And in which case, Willy was quite right. Fecundity indeed.

Re: Children of Kaiser Wilhelm & Empress Augusta Victoria (Dona)
I have always thought that Dona was an attractive woman. I can see where she would be overshadowed, but the more beautful Elizabeth, Ella, Alexandra, and others, but I find something motherly and kind when I look at her.
