Is it true that Elisabeth had a brother who was stillborn?

Ducky and Ernie had a still born son in 1900 and a miscarriage.

Does anyone else think it interesting that Mrs. Eager called her Princess Ella...?
So long and thanks for all the fish

Ella was Princess Elisabeth's nickname, just like it was her Aunt Grand Duchess Elizabeth's nickname.

I wasn't aware her nick-name was Ella. It's interesting, and rather sweet.
So long and thanks for all the fish

Ernie had a really difficult life; losing his brother at that young age and feeling it was his fault, and then his little sister, and his mother caught diphtheria from him!  If he was gay, which I think he probably was, he must have felt the isolation of having feelings many thought were "evil".  Then his horrid marriage with Ducky, and the death of dear little Ella, who was so close to him.
 Even for the times, his was a tragic lot.  At least Queen Victoria's children didn't have to lose both a parent and two siblings at such a young age.  He seems to have been exceptionally kind and loving to all his sisters, children, and nieces and nephews.  
 No wonder so many people of Hesse grieved deeply for Elisabeth!  All of Alice's children had warm, glowing hearts, and little Ella (despite being a bit spoiled, perhaps) must have been a jewel of a child.

This picture was taken in 1902. It is a part of a photo with the children of Ludwig of Battenberg. The window belongs to a very pretty house the Prinzessinnenhäuschen in Wolfsgarten builded by Joseph Maria Olbrich.

The photo of Elisabeth peeking out was used in an article about her in Majesty magazine awhile back as well.

Here's the full photo with Louise (later Queen of Sweden), George and Louis Battenberg

Thank you grandduchessella for posting the photo. I can't post photos with my PC. You write about an article in a magazine. Which magazine is this?
The book in which I found the photo belongs to a serie written by the historyclub of Egelsbach the village near Wolfsgarten.
Have a good new year.

Dear Linnea, thank you for posting this photos. some of them are very rare. The second photo is very interesting. In my eyes it is a cold portrait of Victoria Melita as mother. there is no love in the picture. It is show.

Linnea, ich wünsche dir ein wunderschönes zufriedenes gutes neues Jahr :)
