The Spokane Press, Washington, September 5, 1907
In 1913 Victoria Louise married Ernest Augustus (who became Duke of Brunswick six months later). Their wedding, a lavish affair, would be one of the last big social events for the European royals before the outbreak of WWII. In 1917 Ernest would lose his British title, that of Duke of Cumberland, due to the Titles Deprivation Act, because of his services for Germany in the war.
Prince Leopold of Battenberg, who became Lord Leopold Mountbatten after the British Royal Family renounced their German titles during WWII, never married and died from complications of a hip operation in 1922, at 32 years old. He is buried at the Royal Burial Ground, Frogmore.
