After this came five more boys, one after the other--Eitel Friedrich on July 7, 1883; Adalbert on July 14, 1884; August Wilhelm on January 29, 1887; Oskar on July 6, 1888; and Joachim on December 17, 1890. The youngest child was a daughter, Victoria Louise, born on September 13, 1892. All the children are now married, and strange to say every one of them has married a German, and all of royal blood except the wife of Prince Oskar, and she was a baroness. [Illustration: _Baroness von Ruppin, Wife of Fifth Son._] The wedding of the Crown Prince and the Duchess Cecilia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin took place on June 6, 1905. The Crown Princess has very high connections, coming from the same family as the famous Queen Louise. Her mother is a Russian Princess, and she is a first cousin to the late Czar. Her sister is the Queen of Denmark, and when she goes to Denmark to pay a visit to her sister, the two walk through the streets of Copenhagen arm in arm with the king. [Illustration: _Princess Joachim, Wife of Sixth Son._] Her democratic spirit has made her very popular with the German people, and she is said to be the one person who dares to defy her imperial father-in-law, and as a result he admires her very much and is very fond of her. Four years ago, the Kaiser forbade the officers to tango. The very next day after this edict the Crown Princess hired a tango teacher. The Kaiser only laughed. He liked her spirit. She is very tall, almost as tall as her tall husband. She is almost of the Russian type and has dark hair and very bright eyes. The German women look to her to set the styles. She dresses a great deal in white and like the Kaiserin wears very large hats. Although very rich in her own right she does not wear extravagant clothes but rather sensible things. [Illustration: _Victoria Louise, Duchess of Brunswick, Daughter of the Kaiser._] She is very active and capable, and is a splendid mother, spending much of her time with her four boys and her little daughter, helping to train them herself. The eldest boy is now ten years old, and the little girl was born since the war. She has her own palace in Berlin, but she spends most of her time at Potsdam or at Danzig, the favorite resort of the royal pair. At the silver wedding of the Kaiser and Kaiserin, Prince Eitel Friedrich and the Grand Duchess Charlotte of Oldenburg were married. The Duchess is a grand-daughter of Prince Carl, the famous general of 1870. She is quite different from the vivacious Cecilia, being of a quiet temperament. She has no children.
