Twins for the Hesses





May 14, 1901

Princess Friedrich Karl of Hesse gave birth to twin sons this morning, according to the New York Times. This is the second set of twin sons for the Princess and her husband.

The former Princess Margarete of Prussia, who is the youngest sister of Kaiser Wilhelm II, was married in 1893 to Prince Friedrich Karl of Hesse.

The couple have already four sons, Friedrich (1893), Maximilian (1895) and twins Philipp and Wolfgang (1896). Prince Friedrich Karl is an officer in the Prussian army, and his wife "is a great favorite among all classes, and is said to be exceptionally accomplished."
