Prince
Leopold,When Ernst-Leopold married Sabine-Margarethe Henning, the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
showed little interest in the non-existent prince's endeavors. A prominent
member of the family is alleged to have said that " one does not
worry much about non-existent princes." The third marriage of Ernst-Leopold
to sweet, charming, understanding Sabine-Margarethe seems to have restored
peace to the prince's life. He is said to have recovered his smile and
enjoyed life's pleasuresThen,
if Ernst-Leopold and his third wife had discovered happiness, why would
they resort to a gruesome suicidal pact? Could his intentions to reclaim
some of the Coburg inheritance given away by his father in the 1930's
have made him to despair life again? Or could he have fallen into financial
penury one more time? Some have even wandered if the prince was a victim
of an incurable and painful disease, which in turn could have wanted Ernst-Leopold
to bring a quick end to his suffering. If this is the case, then the couple's
suicidal pact can reveal itself as a tragic and dramatic last demonstration
of love, uniting the lovers for eternity.
During
her young life, The duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was formed by two separate,
neighboring, principalities. The principality of Coburg had been inherited
by members of the Saxe-Altenburg family in the XVIIth century. The principality
of Gotha came under the family's control in the 1820's after the death of
the last reigning duke. His only daughter, Prince Louise of Saxe-Gotha, was
the wife of Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. In exchange for Gotha, a
much more desirable principality, Duke Ernst gave away the duchy of Saalfeld.
From that date on, the family was known by the name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
Louise and Ernst had a very unhappy marriage, yet they managed to have two
children, Ernest, who inherited the duchies in 1844, and Albert, husband of
Queen Victoria of Great Britain. Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha died childless
in 1893, upon which the ducal title was inherited by Prince Albert's second
son, Prince Alfred of Great Britain. The new Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha lost
his only son in tragic circumstances in 1899. The duchy was left without a
direct heir once again. After much consultation between Queen Victoria, Prince
Alfred and Kaiser Wilhelm II, a new heir was chosen. The Coburg inheritance
was given to Prince Charles-Edward of Great Britain, only son of Queen Victoria's
fourth son who had died a victim of hemophilia in 1884. Charles-Edward married
a niece of the Augusta of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg, wife
of Kaiser Wilhelm. Prince Ersnt-Leopold was their eldest grandchild. As with
his father, Prince Ernst-Leopold became a black-sheep to many of his royal
cousins by marrying and divorcing successively. In 1961 he wed Ingeborg Henig,
whom he divorced in two-years' time. One son, Hubertus, was born of this brief
union. Close friends of the couple have argued that lively, charming Ingeborg
could not stand a retired existence at her husband's property outside of the
Bavarian town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Theirs was a simple existence without
luxury, away from the mundane distractions of society. Ernst-Leopold and Ingeborg
divorced after just a couple of years of marriage. ."
