  The &quot;Castle&quot; referred to is actually Schloss Friedrichsruh in Kronberg near Frankfurt. It was built for Queen Victoria, a daughter of the British Queen Victoria, married to Friedrich III, King of Prussia, German Emperor and mother of Wilhelm II, King of Prussia and German Emperor. After her husband died (he was the 99 days Emperor) she acquired the premises and let built a stately home in Tudor style were she would eventually retire as &quot;Kaiserin Friedrich&quot;. The house came into possession of the House of Hesse when Kaiserin Friedrich died in 1901, as her youngest daughter was married to then acting Landgraf of Hesse. Today the castle is a luxury resort with a 18 hole golf course

  The title sounds like it could’ve been written by Han Christian Anderson but it’s not but it is a gem from Dr Mark Felton.

  It never ceases to amaze me the trouble that King Edward VIII / Duke of Windsor managed to cause during his lifetime.

  So in other words, you keep the jewels, we will keep the letters, and the Sovs get the microfilm.

  I recall that in the late Queen Mother&apos;s final weeks, back in 2002, a huge cache of confidential documents was deposited into Royal Archives at Windsor Castle and reclassified &apos;not to be released 100 years&apos;.<br>At the time I&apos;d suspected it concerned the conduct of her late brother in law and possibly the Rudolph Hess affair. Oh to be a royal archivist.

  Dr. Felton this was a fascinating tale. The amount of lost historic stories are unfathomable. Thank you for this. Cheers from Niagara 🇨🇦

  I wonder what Durant&apos;s and Nash&apos;s marriage was like after they got back together. I can only imagine each of them blaming the other for bungling the sale of the jewelry. They truly deserve each other. Kudos to Thatcher for having the moral courage to strip Blunt of his position and knighthood. Yeah, he wasn&apos;t prosecuted, but at least everyone knew what a traitor he was.

  Just FYI, &quot;Established Titles&quot; is a scam company. They are not recognised by the Scottish office that tracks genuine heraldic titles, and they skirt the law by only implying (but not stating explicitly) that owning a piece of paper makes you a lord of somewhere...

  Many of Marks stories should be Hollywood movies. &nbsp;Can you imagine, being entertained and it’s a true story.

  Secrets are often as valuable as any other weapon fielded into battle.
