naathDied on this day in 1989 aged 92 Prince Wolfgang of Hesse-Kassel (my toy,wikipedia). Great grand son of Queen Victoria. Claimed to be the Crown Prince of Finland, I failed to figure out what is going on there, as Finland never really *had* a monarchy.
Born on this day in 1905 to King George V of the the United Kingdom and Mary of Teck, Prince John of the United Kingdom (my toy,wikipedia). John had epilepsy and possibly also autism or some intellectual disability (the early 20th century was not so good for accurate diagnoses). He grew up away from his family on the estate at Sandringham and his illness was concealed from the public until after his death. A film about his life "The Lost Prince" was made in 2003, I quite liked it.
