This vintage real photo postcard features Crown Prince Wilhelm and his wife, Crown Princess Cecilie. The photo was taken by the Emilie Bieber studio (Berlin and Hamburg). She was a very successful and talented photographer during a time when female photographers were uncommon. The postcard was published by Von Gustav Liersch. Readers may be wondering about these Royals. Who are these people? Prince Wilhelm (1882-1951) was the last Crown Prince of Prussia and the German Empire. He married Duchess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1886-1954) in 1905. The pair’s marriage wasn’t rock solid. The Crown Prince had affairs with both American opera singer Geraldine Farrar and dancer Mata Hari. This vintage photo has a German stamp and is postmarked in 1907. (SOLD)
