I, too, am very interested in this tragedy and have myself asked about it in another royal message board. And I remember getting answered that Cecilia was pregnant, when the plane crashed. Then a dead baby's body was found in or near the crushed plane. It seems then that Cecilia gave birth just before the accident or the baby come off out of Cecilias ripped body. Sounds horrible.
Has some other heard of this story? It is quite true as far as I know.

I try to add a couple of photos of the Hessen family.
And I am very sorry, but I don't know any more where I got the pictures from. In the first picture are little Johanna with her uncle Ludwig and his wife. In the second picture are the Hessen family, Donatus, Celilia and the children.

At last I found this addresse:
http://www.btinternet.com/~allan_raymond/Greek_Royal_Family.htm#16.74a "Hereditary Grand Duke Georg Donatus, his wife Princess Cecilia, two sons, Alexander and Ludwig, and his mother, Princess Eleonora, were killed in an aeroplane accident near Ostende. Princess Cecilia was eight months pregnant at the time of the crash and the baby's body was discovered amongst the wreckage. The party were on their way to CroydonAirport to attend the wedding of his brother Prince Ludwig of Hesse and by Rhine to Margaret Geddes." 5.2143 16.73 "Princess Johanna died later of meningitis. She had been adopted by her uncle Ludwig following the tragic death of her parents and siblings."

Women are not banned from flying until the last 3 weeks, and we don't know how far into the 8th month she was.

This is what Wikipedia says: Royal House The term Royal House refers to the official designation and name of a royal family instead of surname. Unlike Europeans, most of the world's Royal Families do not have surnames: those that have adopted them rarely use them. They are referred to instead by their titles, often related to an area ruled or once ruled by that family. The name of the Royal House is not a surname, just a way of identifying individuals. Reigning European Sovereign Houses. Last edited by Warren; 05-23-2005 at 09:29 AM.. Reason: neater |

The fact that they call themselves Glücksburg doesn't negate the fact that they belong to the house of Oldenburg.
I can call myself anything I want, but I still being to the von Hamm family. |

Thanks a lot,
for these information! Knew the history of this tragic Princess’s family, but nothing for the names and date of b. of children. As well as for the (so bad) chance of 3rd child. Special thanks to Morgaine and Alexandra! The name of Pss in greek: ΚΑΙΚΙΛΙΑ (Καικιλια) [“AI” is diphthong, proncd as e in red] |

I beleive that I read that TRH Tatiana and Moritz von Hesse are divorced; yet they always seem to attend functions together (I highly commend them). If they are divorced, when did they and why? I also read that Tatiana resides at her brother, Furst Richard SWB's estate/castle. How close are the two families. Also, I believe that the Hesse's castle is now a Hotel? Please correct me if I am wrong.
