| Prince Charles Edwards 1884-1954 |
Prince Charles Edwards was the grandson of Queen Victoria
(1830-1901) was 16-years of age when she ordered him to assume the role of Duke
of Coburg in 1900. Duke Ernst II of Saxe Coburg Altenburg sponsored Adam Weishaupt. The boy did not speak German and did not want to go to
Germany. After the war started in 1914, he was trapped on the wrong side of the
conflict and was written off as King George V (1865-1936) quickly changed their
name from the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the House of Windsor to
disassociate themselves from the German side of their family 
Later the young
prince supported Adolf Hitler becuse he was anti-communist, a bad move
on his part! After the war he was found in a camp scrounging for empty tins for
food to cook with grass. His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth’s
husband, (1921-) also had his own problems when he was preparing to marry the
future Queen of England as his sisters were married to Nazi officers. The Queen
Mother (1900-2002) was against her grand-daughter's marriage to "The
Hun" as he was called, sometimes "The Viking." Below is a photo
of the young prince wearing the Royal Victorian Order in a German officer's
uniform and another with Adolf Hitler.
