| HONORARY | |||||||
| KNIGHTS AND DAMES | |||||||
| Last updated 11/10/2018 | |||||||
| I wish to acknowledge the large debt I owe to Martin Baertl, who has been able to provide me with a wealth of | |||||||
| information in relation to European honorary knights and dames. | |||||||
| Honorary Knights and Dames are frequently appointed by the Crown to various orders of knighthood. Those orders are | |||||||
| currently the Orders of the Garter, the Thistle, the Bath, St.Michael and St.George, the Royal Victorian Order and the | |||||||
| British Empire. Until the independence of India, honorary Knights were also appointed to the Order of the Star of India and | |||||||
| the Order of the Indian Empire. Details of honorary Knights of the Garter and of the Thistle will be found on the pages | |||||||
| devoted to those Orders. | |||||||
| It is not possible to appoint an honorary Knight Bachelor. | |||||||
| Honorary awards are made to men and women who are not citizens of a Commonwealth realm. Recipients of such awards | |||||||
| are not permitted to use the pre-nominal words of "Sir" or "Dame", but are permitted to use post-nominal letters - for | |||||||
| example, Bob Geldof KBE, but never Sir Bob Geldof (notwithstanding the media's incorrect use of such styling). If a | |||||||
| recipient of an honorary knighthood subsequently becomes a citizen of a Commonwealth realm, then any honorary award | |||||||
| usually becomes substantive, with the result that the recipient may then use the pre-nominal title of "Sir" or "Dame," but | |||||||
| only after receiving the accolade from the sovereign or his or her delegate. | |||||||
| Conversely, citizens of a country which was part of the British Empire or Commonwealth (including the Indian Princely | |||||||
| States) at the time they received their award, were substantive knights or dames. Citizens of British Protectorates (for | |||||||
| example, the Malay States, Brunei, the Maldives and Nepal) and mandated territories (for example Transjordan) generally | |||||||
| received honorary awards only. If a country later leaves the Commonwealth, the award remains substantive, and the | |||||||
| recipient may continue to use his or her title(s) if they choose to do so. | |||||||
| Honorary awards can and have been annulled by the sovereign, generally when the recipient of the award has engaged in | |||||||
| activities detrimental to the Crown. Recent examples include Nicolae Ceaușescu and Robert Mugabe. In addition, recipients | |||||||
| of awards who are citizens of a country that is engaged in war with the Crown generally have their awards annulled. For | |||||||
| example, the London Gazette of 23 August 1940 contained a notice which read "The King has given Commands for the | |||||||
| removal from the Lists of Honorary Members of the British Orders of Chivalry, and from the rolls of foreign holders of British | |||||||
| decorations and medals, of all names appearing therein of persons who are of German or Italian nationality." (Issue 34929, | |||||||
| page 5152). | |||||||
| Compiling a listing of honorary Knights and Dames has proved to be a major challenge, and I am certain that, while the | |||||||
| listing below is reasonably complete up to the year 2000, there will be a number of honorary knights and dames missing, | |||||||
| especially those appointed to the Royal Victorian Order since the year 2000. In addition, the listing reveals many honorary | |||||||
| knights and dames who, although they received such an award, the date of such award I have been unable to discover. | |||||||
| Sources:- | |||||||
| Honorary awards up until the end of 1904 are included in ""The Knights of England" compiled by William Arthur Shaw, | |||||||
| published in 1906. For the period between 1904 and 1 July 1911, honorary awards continued to be included in the "London | |||||||
| Gazette," but after that date honorary appointments were generally no longer gazetted. Notwithstanding, it was often the | |||||||
| case that some, but by no means all, subsequent appointments were noticed in newspapers such as "The Times." | |||||||
| The great majority of honorary awards made since 1911 have been made to the Royal Victorian Order. Such awards are | |||||||
| most frequently made as a result of State Visits, either by the King or Queen when visiting foreign countries, or when the | |||||||
| heads of foreign countries are visiting the United Kingdom. Fortunately, listings of these awards are available in Volume II | |||||||
| of "Royal Service," by James Risk, Henry Pownall, David Stanley and John Tamplin, published by Third Millennium Publishing | |||||||
| in 2001. This superb three-volume work is a record of all awards made for personal service to the Royal Family. The listings | |||||||
| are only up to the year 2000, and as a result I have been unable, to this point, to obtain details of any subsequent | |||||||
| appointments, although I have hopes of being able to do so. | |||||||
| For all other honorary awards, I have relied upon contemporary notices in newspapers and various biographies included in | |||||||
| Wikipedia and on the Internet in general. | |||||||
| In summary, the listing contains every honorary award which I have able to discover, given current resources, but it does | |||||||
| not pretend to be complete. As with all my listings, I will be very grateful, and give full attribution to, any reader who can | |||||||
| help me improve the information contained herein. | |||||||

| Boutros Pasha Ghali [Hon KCMG 1899 and Hon GCVO 1905] | |||||||
| Boutros Pasha Ghali was Prime Minister of Egypt when he was assassinated in 1910. His grandson, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, | |||||||
| [1922-2016] was Secretary-General of the United Nations between 1992 and 1996. This report of the assassination is | |||||||
| taken from "The Irish Times" of 7 March 1910:- | |||||||
| 'Ibrahim el Wardani, who assassinated Boutros Pasha Ghali, is the son of a provincial functionary, now dead. He has a | |||||||
| brother who is a doctor at Alexandria. Ibrahim was educated at the Assint School, at the Mansurah College, and at the | |||||||
| Ras-el-tin School at Alexandria. He went to Lausanne in 1906, and attended University lectures there for two years. He | |||||||
| then went to England, and attended the Westminster School of Pharmacy, where he took no diploma, receiving merely a | |||||||
| certificate of attendance. He went to Geneva in September, and attended the congress of Egyptian students. He came | |||||||
| back to Egypt last autumn and opened a chemist's shop in Abdin street, near the Palace. As he had no diploma, he | |||||||
| engaged a qualified chemist - an Austrian - as manager. Ibrahim is about 25 years old. He is slight and pale. He is said to | |||||||
| be intelligent, and an enthusiastic "patriot." He was a friend of the late Mustapha Pasha Kamel [a prominent nationalist | |||||||
| activist, 1874-1908], with whom he had travelled in Europe, and is also a friend of Mohamed Bey Ferid [1868-1919], the | |||||||
| present Nationalist leader. | |||||||
| 'His shop was the meeting place of many young Egyptians, but none of them seem to be implicated in the crime. During | |||||||
| the inquiry Ibrahim admitted having several times intended to kill Boutros Pasha. On the day previous to the crime he was | |||||||
| in the garden of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with his revolver. On Sunday, at 1.20 p.m., Boutros Pasha came out of the | |||||||
| door of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and descended the steps into the garden, where his brougham was in waiting. As | |||||||
| he was getting into the carriage the assassin threw himself on him, and fired six shots, five of which took effect. The | |||||||
| coachman, Rushdy Pasha, Minister of Justice [1863-1928] and Fathy Pasha Zagloul [1859-1927] then seized the murderer | |||||||
| and bound him with a rope. The Premier was carried into the Ministry, and shortly afterwards taken in an ambulance to Dr. | |||||||
| Milton's hospital, close by. Boutros Pasha was operated on at 6 o'clock, and appeared to stand the chloroform well. He did | |||||||
| not like the idea of an operation, and said he wished the assassin had killed him at once. At ten o'clock on Sunday things | |||||||
| appeared to be going well, but early in the morning there were bad signs, and at 8 a.m. on Monday Boutros Pasha Ghali | |||||||
| died peacefully. | |||||||
| He is universally regretted by all those who knew him, either personally or as a politician. He was a man of high culture and | |||||||
| wonderful intelligence. At his funeral the streets, through which the cortege passed for three miles, were crowded with | |||||||
| spectators, people even standing on the roofs. | |||||||
| 'The Khedive visited the late Pasha's family, and informed Negaik Bey, his eldest son, that he would appoint him Under- | |||||||
| Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and create him a Pasha. | |||||||
| 'The inquiry into the murder is still proceeding. The prisoner is calm, and at times insolent. Being asked by Rushdy Pasha, | |||||||
| Minister of Justice, why he singled out Boutros Pasha as his victim, he replied "Because he made Ministers of men like you." | |||||||
| Up to the present no accomplice has been discovered. About twenty-five people have been arrested, most of whom have | |||||||
| been released.' | |||||||
| Wardani was subsequently executed by hanging on 28 June 1910. | |||||||
| Chang Yen Hoon [Hon GCMG 1897] | |||||||
| Chang was, at various times, the representative of China in the United States, and also in the United Kingdom, where he | |||||||
| was granted an honorary GCMG as part of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1897. His unfortunate end was | |||||||
| reported in the 'New York Times' of 17 October 1900:- | |||||||
| 'Washington, Oct. 16 - Confirmation has been received here of the execution of Chang-Yen-Hoon, ex-Chinese Minister to | |||||||
| the United States. | |||||||
| 'Chang was a loyal adherent of the Emperor, and a warm supporter of the latter's reform movements. When the Empress | |||||||
| Dowager supplanted the Emperor two years ago he was ordered to be beheaded, but through the intervention of the | |||||||
| American and British Ministers his punishment was commuted to banishment in the distant Province of Kashgaria. It now | |||||||
| appears that the Empress Dowager, taking advantage of the late reign of terror at Peking [i.e. the Boxer Rebellion] and | |||||||
| knowing Chang's influence with the Emperor, ordered his execution by decapitation. A report that he had been executed | |||||||
| reached here some months ago, and this has been authenticated from several sources. | |||||||
| 'Chang, who was in Washington in 1887, was considered by those familiar with Chinese affairs as one of the ablest, if not | |||||||
| the ablest man in China. He had been decorated by Queen Victoria and the Emperors of Russia and Germany. He was pre- | |||||||
| eminently the most liberal and enlightened of Chinese statesmen, and had his life been spared till the occupation of Peking | |||||||
| by the allies he doubtless would have been recalled and have taken an active part in the pending negotiations and future | |||||||
| government of China. He was executed July 20.' | |||||||
| William Crawford Gorgas [Hon KCMG 1920] | |||||||
| The following biography of William Gorgas appeared in the November 1966 issue of the Australian monthly magazine | |||||||
| "Parade":- | |||||||
| "Among passengers who watched an American ship discharge a cargo of coffins at Colon, Panama, in June 1905, was a | |||||||
| nondescript little man who was destined for a mighty place in medicine, Dr. William Crawford Gorgas. He knew the reason | |||||||
| for the coffins. They were for members of the Panama work force who were dying like flies from yellow fever. Ashore Dr. | |||||||
| Gorgas introduced himself as the new chief sanitary officer of the canal project. He was confident he could conquer yellow | |||||||
| fever, he said. This statement amused the officials. The only way to eradicate the disease was to eradicate the | |||||||
| mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes were more numerous than the grains of sand on the beaches. They told Gorgas he might | |||||||
| as well throw into the bay the money the U.S. Government had given him to carry out his work. | |||||||
| "When he arrived in Panama the death rate on the partly completed canal project was horrifying. When he left, the rate | |||||||
| was lower than in the U.S. Statistics showed that his work in eliminating mosquitoes saved 70,000 lives. William Gorgas did | |||||||
| more than save his country millions of dollars on the construction of the Panama Canal. He removed yellow fever from | |||||||
| Cuba, brought salvation to hundreds of Negroes working in the South African diamond and gold mines and revolutionised | |||||||
| military medical services. He was not so much a doctor as a medical scientist and technologist. Having learned the cause | |||||||
| of a disease, he specialised in devising a remedy. | |||||||
| "William Crawford Gorgas was born in 1854. His father was Captain Josiah Gorgas, arsenal commander at Mt. Vernon, | |||||||
| Alabama. His mother was a daughter of the State governor [John Gayle, Governor of Alabama 1831-1835]. The family | |||||||
| connection with yellow fever dated to before the child's birth. When it broke out in the Mississippi district, his mother fled | |||||||
| to Mt. Vernon. There she met her future husband. During his boyhood and through a course at the University of Sewanee | |||||||
| in Tennessee, William Gorgas intended following his father in the army. But on graduation he found, that because his father | |||||||
| had served as a senior officer in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, he could not enter West Point military | |||||||
| academy. Yet there was still a way of getting into the army. He could qualify as a doctor and enlist as one. In 1879 he | |||||||
| received his medical degree and enlisted in the medical corps. His first appointment was as medical officer at Fort Brown, | |||||||
| Texas. Here he first came into close contact with yellow fever, for the district was riddled with it. | |||||||
| "Many bizarre stories circulated about the origin of yellow fever. One school of medical opinion held it was carried by a | |||||||
| 'yellowjack' breeze from the Rio Grande. Another was certain it had its origin as a germ in bananas and oranges, but the | |||||||
| destruction of these crops did nothing to halt it. Further the only medicine prescribed was large quantities of whisky and | |||||||
| mustard seed. | |||||||
| "Soon after Gorgas arrived at Fort Brown orders came from army headquarters that troops must keep clear of the infected | |||||||
| area. All did - except William Gorgas. Defying the orders, he visited the surrounding hospitals and did all he could with his | |||||||
| limited knowledge of the disease. He became almost obsessed with the disposal of the dead and often dug the graves | |||||||
| himself, covering the corpses with quicklime. While working in the civilian hospital he met Mary Doughty, the sister-in-law | |||||||
| of a high army officer and herself a victim of yellow fever. When she regained her health her doctor went down with the | |||||||
| disease. During his convalescence the courtship that led to their marriage began. | |||||||
| "In 1898, when the Spanish-American War broke out, Gorgas was attached to the American expeditionary force sent to | |||||||
| Cuba. He reached the country amid one of its worst epidemics. In Cuba he met Dr. Carlos Finlay [1833-1915], a Cuban | |||||||
| physician and biologist of Scottish-French parentage, who for years had been trying to convince the authorities that | |||||||
| yellow fever was carried by the aedes aegypti mosquito. Finlay expounded his theory to Gorgas but the American was not | |||||||
| particularly impressed; the thought that a mosquito could carry a germ capable of killing a human seemed preposterous. | |||||||
| "In 1900 [future] President Theodore Roosevelt set up a yellow fever commission in Cuba to test Finlay's theory. One of | |||||||
| the first things the commission did was call for volunteers who would agree to be bitten by aedes aegypti mosquitoes. | |||||||
| When a number of these men died Finlay's theory was proved tragically correct. Knowing the cause of the dread disease, | |||||||
| Gorgas set to work to destroy every mosquito in the country. The task seemed impossible. The air swarmed with them. | |||||||
| "Beginning his campaign in the capital of Havana, Dr. Gorgas organised fumigation squads to smoke the mosquitoes from | |||||||
| every house in the places where yellow fever had been reported. While the squads went from house to house, hundreds of | |||||||
| carpenters were busy covering water receptacles which might provide breeding grounds. Gangs filled in puddles, drained | |||||||
| swamps, covered marshes with oil, built new aqueducts. And all the time the female mosquitoes were finding it more | |||||||
| difficult to find places to lay their eggs. Gorgas's work bore amazing fruit. In 1896 there were 1282 deaths [from yellow | |||||||
| fever] in Havana. In 1901 there were 18. Finally the disease disappeared altogether. | |||||||
| "By now the U.S. Government had bought the derelict Panama Canal workings and was going ahead with them. But, like | |||||||
| two French companies (one under the Suez Canal builder, de Lesseps) which had been harassed by fever, the Americans | |||||||
| struck the same trouble. It soon became obvious there would probably never be a canal unless yellow fever was | |||||||
| eradicated. When the U.S. Government decided to come to grips with the menace Gorgas was an automatic choice as the | |||||||
| man to take charge of such an awesome project. At Colon, with his aides, he went to work fumigating and spreading oil. | |||||||
| Not a single discoverable breeding ground for the mosquitoes was left untreated. When a vast area had been worked and | |||||||
| the menace continued, he ordered his squads to re-treat the same spots. Even then the death rate remained high. | |||||||
| "All this time the doctor was using up vast sums of money given by the government. In the end expenses became so high | |||||||
| that the chairman of the canal commission complained that before the task was finished every dead mosquito would have | |||||||
| cost the government ten dollars. Gorgas replied: "If one of those 10-dollar mosquitoes had bitten you, what a loss that | |||||||
| would have been." By now the commission was openly antagonistic to the medical dreamer whose work seemed to be | |||||||
| producing no results. He was refused materials, his work squads were reduced and he could not even get wire mesh until | |||||||
| the man who controlled it was stricken with yellow fever himself. When he wanted urgent materials to be sent direct from | |||||||
| the U.S. he was told to make the request in writing; the cost of cables was too high. | |||||||
| "At last, when the commission suggested Gorgas should be recalled, Roosevelt became interested in the controversy. | |||||||
| When he realised what was going on he ordered that Dr. Gorgas must be given every support. With his squads back to | |||||||
| strength, the doctor returned to full-pressure work. As a result, after treating of the mosquito areas a third time, the | |||||||
| death rate plummeted, and continued to do so. When the canal was opened in 1914 the death rate in the zone was six | |||||||
| per thousand compared with 14.1 per thousand in the United States. | |||||||
| "In 1916 a further call was made on Gorgas's services when a group of South African gold and diamond mine owners | |||||||
| begged him to find out why 30 per cent of their Negro workers were dying of pneumonia. Having inspected the barracks | |||||||
| in which the Negroes lived, Gorgas reported that unless something was done about such unhygienic living quarters the | |||||||
| deaths would continue. The mine owners took his advice and almost overnight mortality dropped from 300 per thousand | |||||||
| a year to three. | |||||||
| "When America entered World War I in 1917, Gorgas, still a reserve officer, was called on to establish a network of | |||||||
| hospitals with facilities for mass inoculation and diagnosis. He established new standards of medical treatment during | |||||||
| wartime. After the war he became director of the yellow fever section of the Rockefeller Foundation and directed | |||||||
| campaigns in Peru, Guayaquil, Ecuador and Guatemala. Later, while bound for Brussels to receive the Harbin Medal for | |||||||
| services to mankind, he had a paralytic stroke and was put in a London hospital. | |||||||
| "It was obvious he had not much longer to live and Britain, too, wanted to honour him. Thus one morning in June 1920 a | |||||||
| small group stood by his bed. He could see and hear what was going on but beyond that he could not participate in the | |||||||
| ceremony. One of the group spoke briefly, then stepped back. His place was taken by a small, slight, bearded man who | |||||||
| held the insignia of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George in his hand. This man spoke softly, praising | |||||||
| the work of Dr. Gorgas. Then he pinned the medal to his jacket. It was King George V. Dr. Gorgas died on July 3, 1920. He | |||||||
| was buried in the Arlington National Cemetery." | |||||||
| Prince George William Christian Albert Edward Alexander Frederick Waldemar Ernest Adolphus, Prince of | |||||||
| Hanover [Hon GCVO 1910] | |||||||
| Prince George was the eldest son of Ernest Augustus, 3rd Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, who was deprived of his | |||||||
| UK peerages in 1919 for having borne arms against Great Britain during WW1. Prince George was killed in a motor accident | |||||||
| in 1912, as described by "The Times" of 22 May 1912:- | |||||||
| "Prince George William, eldest son of the Duke of Cumberland, was killed in a motor-car accident last night when on his | |||||||
| way to Copenhagen to attend the funeral of his uncle, the late King of Denmark. Prince George William, who was an | |||||||
| enthusiastic motorist, had left Prague early in the morning driving his own car and accompanied only by a servant and a | |||||||
| mechanic. He intended to spend the night at Schwerin, and late in the afternoon had reached the neighbourhood of | |||||||
| Friesack, on the Berlin-Hamburg road. There the motor-car ran off the road, tore down a tree, and was wrecked. The | |||||||
| Prince fractured his skull, apparently by striking his head on the steering wheel. His servant was thrown against a tree and | |||||||
| broke his neck. The mechanic was seriously injured, and when found by a passer-by was unable to give any account of | |||||||
| the accident. It is believed that the car skidded, there being many loose stones and a layer of coarse gravel on the road. | |||||||
| Prince George William, who was a nephew of Queen Alexandra and the Empress Marie of Russia, as well as of the late King | |||||||
| of Denmark, was 31 years of age. His health was never very good, and, although he was a captain in the Austrian Army, | |||||||
| he did not serve with his regiment." | |||||||
| Ghazi bin Faisal, King of Iraq 1933-1939 [Hon GCB] | |||||||
| Ghazi, King of Iraq 1933-1939, died in a motor accident, as reported in 'The South China Herald" of 12 April 1939:- | |||||||
| 'King Ghazi I of Iraq, who ascended the throne on September 8, 1933, was killed in a motor-car accident at about midnight | |||||||
| last night. He was the second monarch to occupy the throne since Iraq, formerly a part of the Ottoman Empire, was | |||||||
| recognised as an independent kingdom by a treaty with Great Britain on October 10, 1922. | |||||||
| 'The three-year-old son of the late King Ghazi I has been proclaimed King Faisal II. Emir Abdul Ilah, uncle of the new ruler, | |||||||
| has been appointed Regent. | |||||||
| 'The King was driving his own car to the palace when it hit an electric pylon while travelling at high speed. He lost | |||||||
| consciousness immediately and died 40 minutes after midnight of a fractured skull. A bulletin announcing his death was | |||||||
| signed by five doctors. The funeral will be fixed in the morning. | |||||||
| The official communiqué announcing his death gives the cause as a severe fracture of the skull causing extreme laceration | |||||||
| of the brain. Only a few days ago, the King celebrated his 27th birthday. | |||||||
| 'King Ghazi, who succeeded to the throne on the sudden death of his father, the late King Feisal, in September, 1933, was | |||||||
| only 21 years of age when he shouldered the responsibility of governing Iraq. The young King's great asset was his | |||||||
| personal popularity. He had on several occasions acted as Regent for his father, and by his unfailing tact and courtesy | |||||||
| had endeared himself to politicians and people alike. | |||||||
| 'He was born in Mecca on March 21, 1912 [most other sources say May 2], and at the age of thirteen was sent to England | |||||||
| to be educated. He spent three years at Harrow, where he was very popular, and he distinguished himself at lawn tennis | |||||||
| besides being a keen cricketer. He was extremely fond of driving a car, and one of his ambitions was to fly an aeroplane. | |||||||
| 'In 1928 he returned to his own country, and his father sent him to the Iraq Army School, where he went through the | |||||||
| ordinary course of instruction like all the other cadets. On the completion of his military training, he was made A.D.C. to | |||||||
| the King which gave him an excellent opportunity to study his father's methods. | |||||||
| 'In September, 1933, King Feisal, who had been in bad health for some time, was suddenly taken seriously ill in Switzerland, | |||||||
| and died. Arrangements were made for the Crown Prince to be enthroned as King soon afterwards. Very soon after his | |||||||
| coronation it was announced that he was betrothed to his cousin, Princess Aliyah [1911-1950], the daughter of ex-King | |||||||
| Ali of the Hedjaz. This announcement, coming so soon after the death of King Feisal, was thought in some quarters to have | |||||||
| been actuated by political motives. The young couple had known each other as children but had not met for many years. | |||||||
| 'He soon showed that he was prepared to take charge of State affairs, for when Rashid Ali, the Premier, presented the | |||||||
| resignation of his cabinet, King Ghazi accepted it and entrusted the task of forming a new cabinet to Jamil Beg Midfai, the | |||||||
| President of the Chamber of Deputies. This choice occasioned great surprise, for it was thought that Yassin Pasha, known | |||||||
| as "The Strong Man of Iraq," the leader of the Nationalists, was certain to be chosen as Premier. The King's choice proved | |||||||
| wise, for the new Premier was very popular in both Houses of Parliament, and was respected as being a courageous and | |||||||
| straightforward statesman.' | |||||||
| King Ghazi's subsequent memorial service was used by agitators to provoke a riot in Mosul, where the British Consulate | |||||||
| was burned and the Consul murdered. "The Times" of 5 April 1939 reported:- | |||||||
| 'Baghdad, April 4 - Mr. [George Evelyn Arthur Cheyne] Monck-Mason [aged 52], the British Consul at Mosul, was murdered | |||||||
| at noon today by a mob which rushed the Consulate and burnt it. Martial law was declared at Mosul, and order was | |||||||
| restored by 4 p.m. Mr. Monck-Mason had been transferred to Mosul last autumn from Tetuan [in Morocco]. His wife and | |||||||
| children are not in Iraq. | |||||||
| 'According to news received in London, the murder of Mr. Monck-Mason followed a public memorial service to the late King | |||||||
| Ghazi, whose death had caused much excitement at Mosul. Immediately after the service several agitators harangued the | |||||||
| crowd, accusing the British of having assassinated King Ghazi, with the result that in a short time a mob of from 300 to | |||||||
| 400 persons rushed off to the Consulate, murdered the Consul, and burnt the building. Martial law was then declared, and | |||||||
| four persons accused of having excited the mob were arrested and are to be tried by a special court.' | |||||||
| Prince Itō Hirobumi [Hon GCB 1902] | |||||||
| Prince Ito was the first Prime Minister of Japan between 1885 and 1888, and subsequently on three further occasions. | |||||||
| Following the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905, which made Korea a protectorate of imperial Japan, Ito was Resident General | |||||||
| until he was forced to resign in June 1909. Four months later, Prince Ito was assassinated by a Korean nationalist, as | |||||||
| reported in the New York Times of 27 October 1909:- | |||||||
| 'Harbin - It was while he was advancing to meet M. [Vladimir] Kokovsoff [1853-1943], the Russian Finance Minister [and | |||||||
| later, 1911-1914, Prime Minister of Russia] who had come from St. Petersburg to discuss with him questions affecting the | |||||||
| future of Manchuria, that Prince Hirobumi Ito, President of the Privy Council of Japan, was shot down in the railway station | |||||||
| here at 9 o'clock this morning by a Korean. Twenty minutes later he died from three wounds. Three bullets that went | |||||||
| astray wounded Prince Ito's secretary, Consul General Kawakan, the Japanese representative at Harbin, and General | |||||||
| Manager Tanaka of the South Manchurian Railway. The crime was perpetrated in revenge for acts of Prince Ito, who, as | |||||||
| Resident General, first brought Korea under the domination of Japan. | |||||||
| 'It was due to a request of Consul General Kawakan that an opportunity was given for the assassination. The Russian | |||||||
| authorities had wished to take precautions for the safety of the distinguished party and an adequate guard of police was | |||||||
| provided, but Mr. Kawakan requested that all Japanese citizens who might apply be admitted to the station. The Japanese | |||||||
| gathered in large numbers and among them were three Koreans, who were responsible for the assassination. | |||||||
| 'Prince Ito had a noisy welcome when he stepped down from the car he had occupied in the railroad train. Smiling and | |||||||
| bowing in acknowledgement of the greeting, he turned to make his way toward Minister Kokovsoff, who was awaiting him | |||||||
| on the station platform a few paces distant. Suddenly half a dozen revolver shots, fired in quick succession, were heard, | |||||||
| followed by the cries of those who were near the Prince. Prince Ito staggered and fell fainting. It was subsequently found | |||||||
| that he had received three bullets, two of which entered the abdomen. | |||||||
| 'The shots threw the crowd into a panic and it was some time before it could be determined who had been wounded in | |||||||
| addition to the Prince, and who had escaped. When the excitement attending the fainting of the Prince had somewhat | |||||||
| subsided it was found that the three other members of the party on the platform had been injured. It is believed that none | |||||||
| of these will die. | |||||||
| 'The perpetrator of the outrage was not hard to locate, as he stood defiantly in the crowd, revolver in hand. Beside him | |||||||
| were two companions. As the police pounced upon the three the one who did the shooting exclaimed dramatically: "I came | |||||||
| to Harbin for the sole purpose of assassinating Prince Ito to avenge my country." | |||||||
| 'None of the three attempted to escape and calmly confessed that they had conspired against the life of Prince Ito. They | |||||||
| boasted that the object of the plot was to take his life in revenge for his tyranny while he was Resident General of Korea. | |||||||
| The assassin, while asserting that he was inspired by a patriotic motive and believed that Japanese wrongs to Koreans | |||||||
| justified his act, admitted under examination that he had a personal grudge against the Japanese statesman, who had | |||||||
| caused the execution of several of his friends. | |||||||
| 'The police stated that they had been unable to distinguish the Koreans among the many Japanese who had been admitted | |||||||
| to the railway station to welcome the Prince. | |||||||
| Very soon after death the body of Prince Ito was made ready for removal home, and was placed upon a railroad train. The | |||||||
| coffin was covered with flowers, and in other ways the sorrow of official and public life was manifested. | |||||||
| 'The meeting between Prince Ito and M. Kokovsoff was arranged after delicate negotiations. The conference was suggest- | |||||||
| ed by Prince Ito in his capacity as President of the Privy Council of Japan. The subjects to be discussed were not definite- | |||||||
| ly known to the public, but they were supposed to concern affairs of administration in Manchuria. M. Kokovsoff had before | |||||||
| declined an invitation to visit Japan for such a conference, and Harbin was agreed upon as a meeting place. | |||||||
| 'In accepting the invitation, the Russian Minister said that political questions must be barred, as he was competent only | |||||||
| to discuss financial and technical subjects, such as those concerning the status of the Manchurian Railroad. The confer- | |||||||
| ence had been announced widely in advance, and it was generally known when the envoys would reach Harbin.' | |||||||
| The assassin was An (or Anh) Jung-geun, a 30-year-old Korean independence activist. After his arrest by the Russians he | |||||||
| was handed over to the Japanese authorities and was ultimately hanged on 25 March 1910. On the centenary of his death, | |||||||
| 25 March 2010, a nation-wide tribute to him was held in South Korea, including a ceremony led by the South Korean Prime | |||||||
| Minister. | |||||||
| H.R.H. Princess Prekshya Rajya Laxmi Devi Shah, Princess of Nepal [Hon GCVO 1986] | |||||||
| Prekshya was a younger sister of Aishwarya Rajya Laxmi Devi Shah [1949-2001, Queen Consort of Nepal 1972-2001] | |||||||
| and Komal, Queen Consort of Nepal 2001-2008. She was formerly married to Prince Dhirendra. Aishwarya and Dhirendra | |||||||
| were both killed in the Nepalese Royal Massacre of 1 June 2001, when Crown Prince Dipendra murdered ten members of | |||||||
| the royal family during a dinner party. Prekshya died in a helicopter crash not long after the massacre, as reported in | |||||||
| t5he "Times of India" on 13 November 2001:- | |||||||
| Kathmandu: A member of Nepal's royal family and three others were killed on Monday when the helicopter [in which] they | |||||||
| were travelling, with six persons on board, crashed into the Rara Lake in Mugu district, about 500 km west of Kathmandu, | |||||||
| officials here said. | |||||||
| 'The French-made helicopter belonging to a private airline crashed as it was attempting to land near the lake, killing 49- | |||||||
| year-old Princess Prekshya Rajya Lakshmi Devi Shah, wife of Dhirendra, the late prince who was killed in the palace | |||||||
| massacre on June 1 [2001], two other passengers and pilot Ravindra Kadaria on the spot, the officials at the Tribhuvan | |||||||
| International Airport said. | |||||||
| [The] remaining two passengers survived with severe injuries and they were brought to Kathmandu for medical treatment, | |||||||
| the officials said. Others killed were identified as Danbahadur Shahi and Ishwor Basnet, they said. Princess Prekshya was | |||||||
| the younger sister of Queen Komal Rajya Lakshmi Devi Shah [Queen Consort of Nepal 2001-2008]. | |||||||
| 'The helicopter, which belonged to Fishtail Airways, had taken off from Nepalgunj airport in mid-western Nepal at 8.15 a.m. | |||||||
| (local time) for Mugu, a major tourist spot.' | |||||||
| Prince Joachim Franz Humbert of Prussia [Hon GCVO 1904] | |||||||
| Prince Joachim was the youngest son of Emperor William II of Germany. He committed suicide in July 1920 after falling into | |||||||
| a deep depression, possibly caused by his inability to accept his new status as a commoner following his father's abdication | |||||||
| of the throne in November 1918. The following report on his death appeared in "The Times" on 20 July 1920:- | |||||||
| "Berlin - July 19. It is reported today that Prince Joachim of Prussia was found by his servant about 8 o'clock on Saturday | |||||||
| morning, unconscious in his residence, Villa Liegnitz, in the park of Sans Souci. His clothes were blood-stained from a | |||||||
| wound to the left breast. | |||||||
| "The Prince had shot himself with a revolver during the night, and had severely wounded himself. He had returned home on | |||||||
| Friday night at 12.30, and retired immediately to his room. When he was found by the servant he was lying dressed on the | |||||||
| floor and breathing with difficulty. Prince Eitel Friedrich [his older brother] was immediately summoned from his residence, | |||||||
| Villa Ingerheim, and went to Villa Liegnitz. At his instruction Prince Joachim was transported to St. Joseph's Hospital, near | |||||||
| Villa Liegnitz, where it was found that his right lung was pierced and that the bullet had grazed his heart. | |||||||
| "During the day Prince Joachim recovered consciousness, and was able to converse several times with his brother. His | |||||||
| condition had, however, so much changed for the worse by evening that he lost consciousness again, and died at one | |||||||
| o'clock in the morning. Prince Eitel Friedrich had informed the ex-Kaiser and his brothers in the course of Saturday of Prince | |||||||
| Joachim's serious condition, and on Sunday the news of his death was officially made known. | |||||||
| "Prince Joachim left nothing in the way of a written statement behind, and during the hours in the course of which he was | |||||||
| able to converse with his brother he did not say a word about the motive of his suicide. It is said, however, that he | |||||||
| suffered from a complete nervous breakdown. | |||||||
| "Prince Joachim was wounded during the war, was repeatedly obliged to discontinue military service, and when the | |||||||
| revolution occurred he collapsed mentally. He had acquired certain ideas, with which he was obsessed, and was not | |||||||
| amenable to reason. These obsessions disturbed the home life of the Prince. His wife, who was a Princess of Anhalt | |||||||
| [Princess Marie Auguste 1898-1983], married him in 1916 and left him about one year ago. Their child, who is now three | |||||||
| and a half years old, remained with the father. Prince Eitel Friedrich has now taken him to his own home. | |||||||
| "Prince Joachim's condition had become steadily worse in the last few weeks. The management of his household had been | |||||||
| entrusted to a former commander of the Soldiers' Orphans' Asylum, and it had been hoped that the influence of this old | |||||||
| gentleman would react favourably on the Prince's nerves, but when the controversy between the State and the Crown | |||||||
| again became difficult his condition obviously deteriorated. He had a fixed idea that it was desired to turn him out of his | |||||||
| house, although it had been placed at his disposal, and there was no idea of ever discontinuing his right of usufruct [the | |||||||
| right to use or enjoy or profit from a thing possessed]. A contributory cause of his depression of the last few days was the | |||||||
| fact that the question of his divorce had again become acute, as it had been decided that a definite dissolution of his | |||||||
| marriage with the Princess - whose whereabouts are unknown - should take place. The Prince had, however, said nothing | |||||||
| to anyone that could lead to the conclusion that he was about to commit suicide. | |||||||
| "The funeral will take place tomorrow in the Friedenskirche at Potsdam, and will be strictly a family ceremony." | |||||||
| H.I.H. Serge Alexandrovich, Grand Duke of Russia [Hon GCB 1887] | |||||||
| The Grand Duke was literally blown to bits by assassins in 1905. The following report appeared in "The Times" on 18 | |||||||
| February 1905:- | |||||||
| "St. Petersburg, Feb. 17, 4.10 P.M. - At Moscow today, as the Grand Duke Serge was driving in the direction of the Kremlin | |||||||
| Palace from the Historical Museum, he was assassinated. | |||||||
| "Close to the Law Courts a cab occupied by two persons was waiting. When the carriage of his Imperial Highness passed | |||||||
| the cab followed, and a bomb was thrown under the Grand Duke's carriage. A violent explosion followed, the carriage was | |||||||
| blown to pieces, and the Grand Duke was killed. The murderers were arrested, one of them grievously wounded. Several | |||||||
| students have been arrested. | |||||||
| 5.30 P.M. - Further details have been received regarding the assassination of the Grand Duke Serge in Moscow. | |||||||
| "His Imperial Highness was driving from the Nicholas Palace through the Senate Square at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Behind | |||||||
| his carriage came two cabs. At the Law Courts a sledge in which two men were seated, one of them dressed like a | |||||||
| workman, shot out ahead of the Grand Duke's carriage. It then slowed up and allowed the latter to pass. At this moment | |||||||
| a bomb was thrown beneath the carriage. The explosion was so great that all the windows in the Law Courts were | |||||||
| smashed, and the report was heard outside the city. | |||||||
| "The carriage was blown to pieces, nothing but the four wheels remaining. The horses were unhurt, and bolted. | |||||||
| "The Grand Duke Serge was killed instantaneously, his head and limbs being torn from the body. The driver was so seriously | |||||||
| burned and otherwise injured that he died on the way to the hospital. | |||||||
| "The murderers were at once arrested. Their names are not yet known. One of the coolly remarked, "I don't care. I have | |||||||
| done my job." | |||||||
| "The sound of the explosion immediately attracted a large crowd, and only a few moments after the outrage people were | |||||||
| to be seen picking up fragments of wood and torn clothing. The gates of the Kremlin were promptly closed, but on the | |||||||
| Red Square outside a demonstration was made by a crowd against a number of students who had begun to scatter | |||||||
| revolutionary proclamations. Some of the students were very roughly handled, so much so, indeed, that a magistrate from | |||||||
| the adjacent Law Courts gave orders for a number of the assailants to be arrested. | |||||||
| "When the Grand Duchess Elizabeth was apprised of the event she rushed out without hat or cloak and hastened to the | |||||||
| scene of the assassination. | |||||||
| "The remains of the Grand Duke were taken to the Nicholas Palace. | |||||||
| "10.30 P.M. - At the moment of the explosion the Grand Duchess Serge was at the Kremlin, engaged in superintending work | |||||||
| for the wounded in the war. She was about to proceed to the house of the Governor-General, where she intended to join | |||||||
| her husband, and her carriage was waiting outside the Kremlin. | |||||||
| "After the explosion a policeman observed a man running from the scene of the murder, and, in spite of the fact that the | |||||||
| man carried a revolver, succeeded in overtaking and arresting him. The man did not attempt to deny that he was the | |||||||
| assassin, and explained that the revolver was intended to hinder his arrest. He expressed his satisfaction that the Grand | |||||||
| Duchess was not in the carriage with her husband. He declined to reveal his identity, but admitted that he was a member | |||||||
| of the Socialist Revolutionary party. | |||||||
| "It appears that the Grand Duchess quite recently received two anonymous letters stating that the life of the Grand Duke | |||||||
| was doomed, and imploring her not to drive in the same carriage with her husband, as everybody liked her and wished her | |||||||
| no harm." | |||||||
| *********************************** | |||||||
| "The Grand Duke Serge, fourth son of the Emperor Alexander II and younger brother of the Grand Dukes Vladimir and Alexis, | |||||||
| was born in 1857 (May 11) and received the ordinary Grand Ducal education......He was brought up like his numerous | |||||||
| brothers and cousins, but he was distinguished from many of them in one respect - he had no taste for riotous frivolities. | |||||||
| From an early age his seriousness took a religious tinge, and he formed a project of making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. | |||||||
| Before he could carry out this idea he had to serve in the Russo-Turkish war, during which, in a brush with the Turks on | |||||||
| October 24, 1877, he came under fire and received the St. George's Cross of the 4th grade. It was not until 1881 that he | |||||||
| could travel abroad, and aimed at instruction quite as much as amusement. Together with his brother Paul and his cousin | |||||||
| Konstantin Konstantinovich - the latter much more cultivated and refined than Grand Dukes usually are - he first visited | |||||||
| Western Europe and then went on to Palestine. Here he was greatly interested, not only in the holy places, but also in the | |||||||
| crowds of Russian pilgrims who annually visit them, and as soon as he returned home he founded the Eastern Orthodox | |||||||
| Palestine Society, the object of which was to collect, work up, and disseminate information regarding the holy places of | |||||||
| the East and to improve the accommodation for Russian pilgrims. With this object he subscribed largely to the society, and | |||||||
| in 1883 some interesting excavations were made in Jerusalem. At the same time some pilgrim hostelries were organized by | |||||||
| the society. In the following year (1884) he married a daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse and of Princess Alice of | |||||||
| England, who survives him but has borne him no children [Elizabeth 1864-1918, murdered by the Bolsheviks]. | |||||||
| "What interested him most after the Eastern Orthodox Church was the army, and his military capabilities were brilliantly | |||||||
| recognised by his being appointed commander of the Preobrazhenski Regiment. This is considered a very high honour. It | |||||||
| is in this regiment (originally formed by Peter the Great, when a young man, from his jovial companions in the village of | |||||||
| Preobrazhensk, near Moscow) that the Heir-Apparent to the Throne generally receives his first military training, and it was | |||||||
| in the uniform of this regiment that the present Emperor appeared at his coronation in 1896. | |||||||
| "When the late Emperor Alexander III was carrying out, under the inspiration of M. [Konstantin Petrovich] Pobedonostsev | |||||||
| [1827-1907], on the basis of autocracy and Eastern orthodoxy, his policy of Russification among the non-Orthodox subject | |||||||
| nationalities of his empire, he recognised in the Grand Duke Serge a thoroughly convinced, energetic coadjutor, and | |||||||
| according he appointed him, in 1891, Governor-General of Moscow and commander of the troops of the Moscow military | |||||||
| district. So far as convictions and energy were concerned he justified his august brother's choice. His reforming zeal was | |||||||
| directed chiefly against the Jews, a large number of whom had been allowed, during the mild, easy-going administration | |||||||
| of his predecessor, Prince Dolgorouki, to settle in the ancient capital, contrary to the existing police regulations. These | |||||||
| unfortunate people were ordered to return at once to their homes. In vain they pleaded that they had been so long | |||||||
| settled in Moscow that they now had no other homes to go to; the fiat had gone forth, and it was carried out with the | |||||||
| utmost rigour. | |||||||
| "In 1896, during the coronation ceremonies at Moscow, the Grand Duke incurred momentary the Imperial displeasure on | |||||||
| account of the terrible disaster on the Khodinskoe Pelye, in which nearly 2,000 persons were crushed to death. [On 30 | |||||||
| May 1896, 1389 people were killed in a catastrophic crowd-crush during festivities to celebrate the coronation]. As | |||||||
| Governor-General of the city he was formally responsible, but in the investigation which followed it was recognized that he | |||||||
| was not to blame as had been first supposed, and he was eventually reinstated in the Imperial favour. | |||||||
| "In recent events it is generally believed that he strongly urged his Imperial nephew to remain true to his father's policy of | |||||||
| maintaining autocracy intact, and it is supposed that he tried to make good his influence through the Empress, who is his | |||||||
| sister-in-law. When it seemed as if concessions would be made by Prince [Pyotr Dmitrievich] Sviatopolk-Mirski [1857-1914] | |||||||
| with the Emperor's approval, he resigned his post as Governor-General of Moscow, retaining only the military command. | |||||||
| This confirmed the general impression that he was the leader of the reactionary party, and it is, no doubt, as such that he | |||||||
| was singled out by the Terrorists as their first victim." | |||||||
| Prince Leopold Clement Philipp August Maria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha [Hon GCVO 1911] | |||||||
| In an incident very reminiscent of the Mayerling Affair of 1889 when Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria and his mistress | |||||||
| Baroness Mary Vetsera died in an apparent murder-suicide, Prince Leopold was mortally wounded and his mistress, Lotte | |||||||
| Rybiska (although some sources give her christian name as Camilla and her surname as Rybika or Rybicka), killed herself | |||||||
| when they were unable to marry. The following account of the tragedy appeared in the Nelson, New Zealand "Colonist" | |||||||
| of 7 January 1916:- | |||||||
| "The whole of Vienna and the Court circles of Austria and Germany are now ringing with a love tragedy that recalls the | |||||||
| death of Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria and the Baroness Marie Vetsera, says a Buda Pesth correspondent writing in | |||||||
| "Lloyd's Weekly." | |||||||
| "The victims are Prince Leopold of Coburg and the beautiful daughter of an Austrian officer, Court Councillor Rybicska. It | |||||||
| is another chapter in the terrible history of Austrian Court life; for the father of the unfortunate Prince Leopold is Prince | |||||||
| Philip of Coburg, who is an Austrian general, while Prince Leopold is a captain in an Austrian Hussar regiment. | |||||||
| "It is a case of a Royal Prince deeply in love with a lady of high social standing, but below him in rank, and unable, owing | |||||||
| to the stringent German Royal family law, of marrying the woman of his choice. The woman lies dead, and the Prince is | |||||||
| injured for life, and may even die, at the hands of the woman he devotedly loved. | |||||||
| "The circumstances are pathetically simple. The Prince, who is only thirty-seven years of age, met at a social function | |||||||
| some two and a-half years ago Mlle. Lotte Rybicska, who, as the daughter of an officer in the Vienna State Police, moved | |||||||
| in high social circles, and immediately fell in love with her. The attraction was mutual; the girl became devoted to him and | |||||||
| hung on his every word. The Prince, being fully acquainted with the inexorable German law against matrimonial arrange- | |||||||
| ments beyond the Royal circle, could not have contemplated marrying Mlle. Rybicska; for it must have been quite evident | |||||||
| to him that the Royal family would not give its consent to such an alliance. | |||||||
| "She was, however, young - only twenty years old - inexperienced and Prince Leopold succeeded in persuading her that in | |||||||
| a short time he would be in a position to overcome any difficulties the family might present. With this plea he succeeded | |||||||
| in inducing her to leave her home. The family scene was pathetic in the extreme. Her sisters - tall, beautiful girls, with all | |||||||
| the charm of the Austrian aristocracy - pleaded with her, but in vain. She insisted on leaving her home with the Prince, | |||||||
| and, after a few weeks' travelling in the country, took apartments with the Prince in another part of the city. | |||||||
| "She was of a very determined character, and would never allow anyone to interfere with her plans. Moreover, she herself | |||||||
| regarded the prospects of ultimately becoming the bride of her Royal lover as certain. | |||||||
| "As she explained to her mother at the time, she was quite confident that in time her influence over the Prince would be | |||||||
| strong enough to allow her to achieve her aims of marrying Prince Leopold, in whose devotion she had the strongest | |||||||
| possible belief. She knew she was sacrificing her social position. She was willing to do it. She was certain of becoming the | |||||||
| wife of the man she loved and she was prepared to sacrifice honour, position, family pride, and future prospects, well | |||||||
| understanding that once leaving her home in such a way her father would never allow her to return. | |||||||
| "The story of the tragedy begins on Tuesday, October 14th [1915]. On that day Mlle. Rybicska, who was living in a flat | |||||||
| in Marokkaner Street, Vienna, gave permission for her servants to go out, and told them not to return until eight o'clock | |||||||
| in the evening. She was expecting her Royal lover. She had asked him to come and see her at five o'clock. At this hour he | |||||||
| arrived in his motor car, telling his chauffeur to return at a quarter to seven. | |||||||
| "A few minutes before six a soldier passing the house heard revolver shots from the flat on the ground floor. It startled | |||||||
| him. He entered the house, and called the attention of the porter to it. They both hurried up the steps of the flat, to find | |||||||
| that all the doors were locked. They knocked at one of the doors. A faint voice answered - "Fetch a locksmith; the keys | |||||||
| are missing." A locksmith arrived, and the porter and the soldier entered. | |||||||
| "A terrible scene met their eyes. The Prince was seen lying on the floor with four bullet wounds in his body; one had | |||||||
| pierced his lungs. He was holding a handkerchief to his eyes, and was murmuring: "I have been blinded! I have been | |||||||
| blinded!" Mlle. Rybicska was lying in a big armchair, head thrown backwards, evidently dead. By this time the Prince's | |||||||
| motor car had arrived. He was carried down to it, and taken to hospital, where it was found that in addition to dangerous | |||||||
| bullet wounds, he was suffering from the effects of vitriol [sulphuric acid] thrown in his face. One of his eyes had to be | |||||||
| removed and the other was discovered to be dangerously injured. | |||||||
| "What passed between the two previous to the tragedy has not yet been ascertained, for the Prince was unable to give | |||||||
| an account of what happened. Yet the story may be reconstructed from facts that were known to many. Prince Leopold | |||||||
| had been ordered to the front, and the girl had been urging him to arrange the marriage before he left. The Prince had tried | |||||||
| his best to get the consent of his father. All his entreaties were to no avail. Despairing of acknowledgement of Mlle. | |||||||
| Rybicska as his wife, he offered her half a million kronen [other sources say four million] as recompense. She disdainfully | |||||||
| refused. | |||||||
| "In Viennese society everybody knew of the intimate relations between the Prince and Mlle. Rybicska, and they also knew | |||||||
| that the Prince loved the girl very deeply and sincerely. | |||||||
| "The girl was never seen alone anywhere. When walking in the street her maid always followed her. She went with the | |||||||
| Prince on all his travels, and, as a matter of fact, the tragedy is regarded in Viennese social circles as the outcome of a | |||||||
| brutal family struggle against the natural inclinations of the Prince, who is not accused of any disloyalty towards the girl. | |||||||
| The blame is being placed on Prince Philip of Coburg, the father, who would rather see his son blind, and even dead, than | |||||||
| happy with the girl he loved." | |||||||
| Due to his injuries, which included the loss of one of his eyes and most of the flesh on his face, Prince Leopold died on | |||||||
| 27 April 1916. | |||||||
| H.R.H. Gustaf Adolf Oscar Fredrik Arthur Edmund, Prince of Sweden [GCVO 1926] | |||||||
| Prince Gustaf was the eldest son of the Crown Prince of Sweden, Gustaf Adolf, who later became King Gustaf VI Adolf | |||||||
| of Sweden. In the normal course of events, Prince Gustaf would have become King of Sweden on the death of his father | |||||||
| in 1973, but King Gustaf VI Adolf was succeeded by his grandson, Prince Gustaf's son, Carl XVI Gustaf. Prince Gustaf was | |||||||
| killed in a plane crash in Denmark in January 1947. The following report appeared in "The Times" on 27 January 1947:- | |||||||
| 'Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden and Miss Grace Moore [1898-1947], the singer and film actress, were among 22 people | |||||||
| killed when a Dutch Air Lines aeroplane in the daily service from Amsterdam to Stockholm crashed immediately after | |||||||
| taking off today from Kastrup airport, near Copenhagen. The 16 passengers and the crew of six were killed instantly. Four | |||||||
| of the passengers had come from Amsterdam in the machine, and the others joined at Copenhagen. Miss Moore, who had | |||||||
| just given a concert in Copenhagen, was on her way to Stockholm for a series of concerts there, beginning to-morrow. | |||||||
| 'The aeroplane, a Dakota, arrived on schedule from Amsterdam, and went through the usual inspection while at Kastrup. | |||||||
| The Dutch chief pilot, Mr. Geyssendorffer, an experienced pilot, then taxied the aircraft to the south-west corner of the | |||||||
| airfield for take-off. Everything seemed in order, and the engines had been tested normally. | |||||||
| 'When the machine became airborne onlookers noted that it rose at the abnormally sharp angle of almost 60deg[rees]. | |||||||
| The pilot apparently tried to get it level, and for a moment seemed to succeed, but then the aeroplane again ascended | |||||||
| sharply to a height of over 300ft., went into a spin, made a half turn, and dived with a tremendous crash; it hit the | |||||||
| ground port wing first. | |||||||
| 'Immediately flames engulfed the whole aircraft. Rescue crews, guards, with ambulances, rushed towards the wreckage, | |||||||
| but could do nothing in [the] face of the great heat. Only the charred bodies of the passengers and crew could be | |||||||
| extricated. The passengers had not stirred from their seats. | |||||||
| 'Friends of the passengers who had come out to the airport all saw the disaster, and the whole rescue machinery of the | |||||||
| airport had been mobilized before the aircraft struck the ground near the main runway. The aircraft had about 1,800 litres | |||||||
| of petrol in its tanks and nearly half an hour passed before the rescuers could approach the débris. | |||||||
| 'Representatives of the Dutch Air Lines in Copenhagen began investigations forthwith, but so far no clue to the cause of | |||||||
| the accident has been found. It has been ascertained that the aircraft was not carrying the maximum permitted weight, | |||||||
| either of cargo or passengers, and that the whole load was distributed in accordance with instructions. | |||||||
| 'The Swedish Minister in Copenhagen was among the first to be told of the disaster. He informed the Danish Crown | |||||||
| Princess Ingrid, Prince Adolf Gustaf's sister, and Prince Sigward Bernadotte, her brother, who lives in Copenhagen. Three | |||||||
| others of those killed were Swedes, including Count Stenbock and a girl aged three; seven were Danes, including the well- | |||||||
| known singer Miss Gerda Neumann, and the rest were the Dutch crew and a Dutch passenger, two Frenchmen and a | |||||||
| Spaniard. | |||||||
| 'The Swedish Court goes into mourning to-morrow. In Sweden deep sympathy goes to Princess Sybilla and her children, | |||||||
| and to the aged King. The Prince was on his way home after spending a few days in the Netherlands for wild boar hunting | |||||||
| at the invitation of Prince Bernhard. The Dutch Minister in Stockholm called at Drottningholm Castle to express the | |||||||
| condolences of the Dutch Government.' | |||||||
| Essad Pasha Toptani [Hon KCMG 1916] | |||||||
| Essad Pasha was a prominent figure in the murky world of Albanian politics during the early 20th century. He was | |||||||
| assassinated in Paris in June 1920, as reported in 'The Times' of 14 June:- | |||||||
| 'Essad Pasha was assassinated in the streets here [Paris] this afternoon by an Albanian. Towards 1 o'clock today, Essad | |||||||
| Pasha, who made his home in France since his continued residence in Albania had been vetoed by the Italian Government, | |||||||
| left the Hotel Continental accompanied by a lady and was about to enter a motor-car when a man who had been hiding | |||||||
| behind one of the columns of the Arcade in front of the hotel rushed towards him just as the carriage door was being | |||||||
| opened. | |||||||
| 'Drawing a revolver from his pocket the man fired point-blank at Essad Pasha, who was struck in the right side. He | |||||||
| staggered round and the assassin immediately fired another shot which hit the Pasha in the heart. As he fell to the ground | |||||||
| a chauffeur of the hotel leapt upon the murderer and seized him by the throat. Another chauffeur and several passers-by | |||||||
| also hurled themselves upon the man and he was with difficulty rescued from their hands by two policemen. The crowd | |||||||
| which had gathered came indeed very near to avenging the crime. | |||||||
| 'Essad Pasha was taken into his room and a doctor was summoned. He could, however, do nothing but declare that the | |||||||
| Albanian leader was dead. The lady who was accompanying Essad Pasha was overwhelmed with grief and piteous cries of | |||||||
| "Mon Général" resounded through the hotel. Essad's secretaries and personal attendants were too overwhelmed by the | |||||||
| catastrophe to make any statement. | |||||||
| 'The murderer was brought before the Commissariat of Police at 1.30 for preliminary examination. He declared that his | |||||||
| name was Aveni Rustem, that he was 24 years old, and an Albanian by birth. The murderer's face is badly bruised from | |||||||
| the attentions of the crowd. He seemed entirely detached from the events happening around him. | |||||||
| 'In a statement made later, Essad Pasha's assassin said:- "I left Albania in May to come to France to pursue my studies. | |||||||
| I stopped for some days in Rome, where I bought the revolver with which I killed Essad Pasha. I had then no criminal | |||||||
| intent, but bought it to defend myself in case of need during my travels. Since I arrived in Paris I tried to meet my fellow- | |||||||
| countrymen, and it was thus that I had the opportunity to talk with one of Essad Pasha's secretaries, whom I only knew | |||||||
| as George. A little before 1 o'clock I went to the Rue de Castiglione and waited for George, the secretary, to go out, for | |||||||
| I wanted the address of a fellow country-man. Suddenly I saw Essad Pasha, whom I knew by sight. His gait appeared to | |||||||
| be over-proud. Then I lost my head. There flashed through my mind immediately memories of all the atrocities which the | |||||||
| Dictator had made by countrymen endure, all the harm he had done my country surged like lightning in my brain. So I | |||||||
| advanced towards him brandishing my revolver, and fired at him twice. I then fled, throwing my weapon away. I was seized | |||||||
| and was much buffeted about. I do not regret my action. I tell you that I have served the Albanian cause and all my fellow | |||||||
| country-men in thus getting rid of the general." | |||||||
| 'Essad Pasha, Toptani, was head of the large family of Beys of Tirana, the Toptani, who claim descent, somewhat | |||||||
| dubiously, from the Topias who ruled Central Albania in the 15th century. The Toptani, who have a considerable force of | |||||||
| armed retainers, were suspected by Abdul Hamid [Sultan of the Ottoman Empire 1876-1909] of aiming too high. The Sultan | |||||||
| therefore invited Gani Bey, Essad's elder brother, to Constantinople, where he was murdered, as is supposed, at Abdul's | |||||||
| instigation. Gani's death was avenged by a faithful retainer, who shot the murderer, the son of the Grand Vizier, on Galata | |||||||
| Bridge. But this did not satisfy Essad, who looked for further vengeance. | |||||||
| 'The Sultan then, presumably to propitiate Essad, made him brigadier-general and commandant of the gendarmerie at | |||||||
| Janina. Here, by various and generally nefarious means, he is reported to have made much money, and, after somewhat | |||||||
| violent quarrels with the Vali, was transferred to Scutari, where, in 1908, he was in command of the gendarmerie. | |||||||
| About this time, Essad, who was aware of the Young Turk plans, retired to Europe for a "cure," and did not return until | |||||||
| that party had gained the ascendancy. In joining the Young Turks Essad was prompted not only by a genuine desire to | |||||||
| obtain more liberty for Albania, but also by his unassuaged desire to avenge the death of Gani. He did so sweetly in the | |||||||
| following spring. He was one of the two men to whom was assigned the task of ordering Abdul Hamid to abdicate. | |||||||
| The Committee of Union and Progress at once embarked upon its plan of forcibly Ottomanizing the various nationalities | |||||||
| subject to Turkish rule, and provoked the violent hostility of Albania. Essad retired to Tirana, supported all demands for | |||||||
| Albanian rights, and even approached a British Consul and begged him to ask for a British Protectorate over Albania. Signs | |||||||
| of a general Balkan war were abundantly evident. The Turkish Government came to terms with the Albanians. But too late. | |||||||
| Essad perceived that Albania alone could not resist the combined forces of Greek, Serb, and Bulgar, and when war broke | |||||||
| out hastened with a division of Albanian Redifs to Scutari to aid Hussein Riza in its defence. | |||||||
| 'Of the events that ensued there are many versions. It is certain that Hussein Riza, when he knew that Scutari was lost | |||||||
| to the Turks, determined to call in the aid of the mountain Albanian tribesmen without. He arranged to send messages to | |||||||
| instruct the tribes to attack the besieging forces in the rear so soon as they saw the Albanian flag hoisted on the citadel. | |||||||
| He planned simultaneously to make a sortie, and hoped thus to cut a way out. The plan was never carried out. On that | |||||||
| very night [30 January 1913] Hussein Riza was murdered as he was leaving the house of Essad, where he had been dining. | |||||||
| Essad assumed the command. He retired to the citadel, and never ventured forth without an escort. Finally, when the | |||||||
| population was dying of starvation, he surrendered the town. | |||||||
| 'When Prince William of Wied arrived at Durazzo on March 7, 1914, to become Mpret [Prince] of the Shkipetars [Albanians], | |||||||
| Essad became Minister of War and of the Interior, but fell under suspicion of being in relations with the rebels, who | |||||||
| promptly took arms against the ill-starred Mpret. He was besieged in his house and bombarded by artillery, after which he | |||||||
| surrendered, and was deported from Durazzo on May 20 as an exile during the Mrpet's good pleasure.. However, that ruler | |||||||
| did not last long, and during the European War Essad returned and made himself President of an Albanian Provisional | |||||||
| Government [October 5, 1914], by threatening to shoot the entire Senate if he were not elected by a given time. His | |||||||
| Government sided with the Entente, and when force of circumstances compelled him to leave his native land he withdrew | |||||||
| to Salonika.' | |||||||
| As mentioned in the above report, Essad's assassin was Avni Rustemi (1895-1924), a young teacher and political activist | |||||||
| who viewed Essad Pasha as a traitor for having murdered Hussein Riza. At his subsequent trial, in December 1920, Rustemi | |||||||
| was acquitted, after which he returned to Albania as a national hero. There he entered politics and was elected to | |||||||
| Parliament where he became involved in a bitter struggle with the followers of Ahmet Zogu, who later declared himself | |||||||
| King Zog. Rustemi was assassinated by one of Zogu's agents in April 1924. | |||||||
| Basil Zaharoff [Hon GBE 1918 and Hon GCB 1919] | |||||||
| The Australian monthly magazine "Parade," in its January 1950 issue, contained the following biography of Basil Zaharoff:- | |||||||
| 'Beginning about 1877, for more than half a century a bearded, cloaked, distinguished-looking figure drifted like a shadow | |||||||
| through the Embassies and War Ministries of Europe, Asia, and America. All he seemed to do was to engage in long secret | |||||||
| conferences, from time to time jotting dates and figures in a small notebook. Yet, as often as not, no sooner had the | |||||||
| "Mystery Man of Europe" paid a call than revolution flared, old border quarrels were revived, or once-peaceful little nations | |||||||
| began angrily challenging their neighbours. This man with death at his heels was Basil Zaharoff, armament-salesman | |||||||
| extraordinary, dubbed "The Widow-Maker," and chief apostle of Mars, the pagan god of war. | |||||||
| 'From a modest beginning as a street ragamuffin, Zaharoff rose to two positions of note: he was one of the richest men | |||||||
| on earth, and the most hated man alive. During the 1920s Zaharoff and his colleagues in the cannon trade were reviled as | |||||||
| the organisers of war and bloodshed, and it is certainly true that he made a practice of selling arms to hereditary enemies | |||||||
| like the Greeks and Turks, creating a snowballing market. Zaharoff was reputed to lurk outside the innumerable Peace | |||||||
| Conferences; in a quiet garden of Versailles, perhaps, the delegates would slip out from the conference chamber where | |||||||
| the air was thick with the cooings of ambassadors of peace, and whisper to him while he took his everlasting notes: "Two | |||||||
| hundred cannon for Poland? Certainly, M. Paderewski. A thousand flamethrowers for Greece? Money no object? I think it | |||||||
| can be managed, M. Venizelos. Five hundred tons of poison gas, M. Briand? With pleasure...." and so on, orders, orders, | |||||||
| orders. At least, this is how Emil Ludwig depicts Zaharoff in a play about the Versailles Conference. | |||||||
| 'But there was another, little-known, side of this sinister travelling salesman. He tried, with a great deal of success, to | |||||||
| conceal every single authentic detail of his life from the world; but it appears that at the age of 40 he fell in love with a | |||||||
| girl, a Royal duchess with a string of haughty names, and waited 28 years for death to free her from a demented, violent | |||||||
| husband; then married the widow of 60, only to be grief-stricken by her death two years later. This touching episode is | |||||||
| the only non-commercial aspect of a life shrouded in mystery which took him to a position of legendary power, adviser of | |||||||
| Governments, promoter of wars, claimed as a citizen and loaded with honours by nation after nation. | |||||||
| 'His grimly romantic career began in Constantinople, whither young Zacharias Basileios Zaharoff, as he was christened, was | |||||||
| taken by his parents while he was still a child. A Greek by birth, on both sides of his family, he had been born in the down- | |||||||
| at-heel Anatolian township of Mughla, in Turkish territory, in 1849. As a quick-witted urchin in Constantinople, the | |||||||
| crossroads of East and West, Zaharoff soon acquired the commercial jargon of half a dozen European tongues and at least | |||||||
| two Oriental ones. Zaharoff took the first steps toward respectability when a rich Greek merchant named Hephentides, a | |||||||
| friend of his family, sent him to the best school in Constantinople, an English establishment maintained for the sons of | |||||||
| English residents. | |||||||
| 'When he left school at 18, however, he drifted back to the old atmosphere and might have become indistinguishable from | |||||||
| the thousands of idle young men in his neighbourhood, picking up an irregular living from questionable sources, had not the | |||||||
| rich family friend come again to the rescue. He made Zaharoff his private secretary, and in time permitted him to act as | |||||||
| his proxy in his general merchandising business. For two years all went well, then Zaharoff suddenly absconded with about | |||||||
| £300 which he obtained by depositing £1000 worth of his employer's goods with an agent. Hephentides traced him to | |||||||
| to London, proceeded against him, and Zaharoff was imprisoned and brought to trial; but Hephentides once again proved | |||||||
| kind and consented to accept his assurance of repayment, upon which the British court deferred judgment, ordering him to | |||||||
| enter into his own recognisances in £100 to come up for judgment if called upon. He took the bond, was liberated and | |||||||
| promptly disappeared. | |||||||
| 'Zaharoff soon turned up in Athens, claiming that the charges laid against him by his late employer (whom, he said, was | |||||||
| his uncle) were quite unjust. According to Zaharoff, he had been made a partner in the business, but had been cheated | |||||||
| of his share of the profits, and had been forced to collect what was due to him and go for an extended overseas journey. | |||||||
| He added a lurid account of having escaped across the roof of the Constantinople gaol after shooting a warder, which, it | |||||||
| has been pointed out, is too much like the account of a prison-escape in the Memoirs of Casanova to be mere coincidence. | |||||||
| In spite of the suspicion with which his improbable story was received, Zaharoff was soon deeply embroiled in Athenian | |||||||
| politics. At this distance in history, it is well nigh impossible to disentangle from a confusion of conflicting evidence what | |||||||
| party it was that Zaharoff worked for. Quite possibly he worked for them all. | |||||||
| 'At any rate he played his usual role of glib under-cover man, invaluable because of his command of several languages and | |||||||
| his flexible allegiances. Some say he was a member of the "machine" of the liberal, Venizelos. Others assert that he was in | |||||||
| the pay of the monarchist, Skuludos. It is, however, established that in 1877 one of Zaharoff's political protectors | |||||||
| recommended him to an English armament firm, the Nordenfelt Guns and Ammunition Company, as Balkan representative at | |||||||
| a salary of £5 a week plus commission on armaments sold. Zaharoff was then 28, and just the man to peddle arms through | |||||||
| the Balkans, always a promising market in the right hands. His employers wisely understood the intimate relationship | |||||||
| between politics and the arms trade and gave him a free hand. Hot-blooded Balkan politicians welcomed into their deliber- | |||||||
| ations the brisk, many-tongued business man who could cap political discourses with specifications of the new nation- | |||||||
| builder, the Nordenfelt quick-firing gun, parent of our modern machine-guns, and the Balkans remained in continual ferment | |||||||
| from the time of the Franco-Prussian War (1870) until World War I swallowed them up in larger struggles. Servia, | |||||||
| Montenegro and Bulgaria revolted and the atrocities committed horrified Europe; the Russians declared war on Turkey; the | |||||||
| Balkans united for once to do the same, and then quarrelled over the spoils. | |||||||
| 'Almost every time Zaharoff visited a Balkan capital he had something new to offer. Nordenfelt's and the Maxim Gun Co. | |||||||
| amalgamated and produced better and better quick-firing guns. Cannon became heavier, muzzle velocity greater, armour- | |||||||
| plate thicker and more blast-resisting. Soon Zaharoff was dilating to Balkan statesmen about a revolutionary new flying | |||||||
| machine, the aeroplane, which would bring liberty and peace at long last; then he had submarines for his clients. Zaharoff | |||||||
| followed the classical method. For instance, after he had sold the first submarine ever sold to a government, to Greece, | |||||||
| he went secretly to Turkey, her enemy, sold two there, and then returned to Greece and intimated that since he knew on | |||||||
| certain evidence that Turkey had two submarines against Greece's one, he really felt he ought to sell Greece two more to | |||||||
| be on the safe side, and so on. | |||||||
| 'There are, of course, the usual stories of bribery and intrigue which assemble around the name of almost any armament | |||||||
| king. He is said to have had adroit ways with Generals and Ministers for War who required to be "insulted with a very | |||||||
| considerable bribe" before they would do business. Then, according to some writers, there were steam yachts "sold" for | |||||||
| £10, cheques passed across in cigarette packages, "bets" which Zaharoff would always lose about what year it was, or | |||||||
| what day of the week it was; worthless furniture bought as "antiques" by Zaharoff for huge sums. | |||||||
| 'These things may well be true, but they cannot be proved. It is asserted, too, that Zaharoff used his dark good looks | |||||||
| upon women when their husbands or lovers rejected his wares; in this way, it is said, he met the Duchess of Villafranca, | |||||||
| who, quite apart from the tale of the long love-affair which followed, introduced him the Spanish War Minister and netted | |||||||
| him £5 million in armament orders. They are said to have met during a railway journey in Spain on Zaharoff's first visit in | |||||||
| 1889. The Duke and Duchess of Villafranca de los Cabelleros travelled on the same train on their honeymoon, but during | |||||||
| the journey the duke had a fit of brutal madness, the first his 25-years-ols wife had witnessed, and she fled in terror to | |||||||
| the first man she could find, who happened to be Zaharoff. The suave Greek, then 40, calmed her fears, provided for her | |||||||
| safety, and as soon afterwards as he decently could cultivated her acquaintance with a view to her possible usefulness to | |||||||
| him as a contact. After that they met frequently on their respective travels - it was whispered, by design. The duchess | |||||||
| was prohibited by her religion from seeking divorce, but the friendship deepened none the less. | |||||||
| 'Zaharoff's fortune was now rapidly expanding. In 1897 the Maxim-Nordenfelt companies amalgamated with the Vickers | |||||||
| armament company, and were thus enabled to build, arm and equip complete battleships for foreign customers. By 1910 | |||||||
| Zaharoff had a controlling interest in Vickers; in the meantime he had been to South America, Russia, Japan, collecting | |||||||
| orders all the time; he had sold armaments, it was said, to both sides in the Spanish-American, Boer and Russo-Japanese | |||||||
| wars. Wherever war broke out, or threatened, Zaharoff would hurry to the spot with his little notebook, as a kind of doctor | |||||||
| in reverse. Arms were supplied on credit, which never failed to stimulate business. Then, in 1914, the tall piles of | |||||||
| armaments began tumbling upon each other, and Zaharoff and his colleagues reaped their harvest. On July 31, 1914, | |||||||
| Zaharoff was made Commander of the Legion of Honour by the President of France for "exceptional service" to the Republic. | |||||||
| 'During the war, it is said, Zaharoff collected £21 million of the stated profits of £34 million made by Vickers. He was, in | |||||||
| effect, the Munitions Minister of the Allies; he travelled everywhere in a British warship, and marshals conferred with him | |||||||
| before they launched their offensives. Zaharoff's interests were still with books purporting to tell the true story of his | |||||||
| motherland, Greece. and he cherished an ambition to make Anatolia where he was born part of a Greater Greece. | |||||||
| Throughout the war he poured his wealth into the tangle of Greek politics, which swayed back and forth between the | |||||||
| Allies and the Central Powers, and it is said that he lost half his fortune by arming out of his own pocket the abortive | |||||||
| Greek attack upon Turkey immediately after the war. Everywhere he financed and armed resistance to the Bolshevik regime | |||||||
| in Russia and the New Turkey of Mustapha Kemal Pasha. In 1919 he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, | |||||||
| and in 1921 Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. Gradually Sir Basil Zaharoff, as he was then [sic], withdrew from active | |||||||
| control of the Vickers interests. | |||||||
| 'The Duke of Villafranca had died in 1923. Zaharoff's marriage to the duchess in 1924 was a very private one, but it | |||||||
| aroused the greatest interest throughout Europe, and when it was followed soon afterwards by an unusual venture, his | |||||||
| purchase of the Casino at Monte Carlo, a crop of books purporting to tell the true story of his life appeared. By buying the | |||||||
| Casino Zaharoff had actually bought control of the pocket-handkerchief state of Monaco, since the public revenues were | |||||||
| paid entirely out of the Casino profits. He bought it for £1,000,000 and sold it two years later to the banking house of | |||||||
| Dreyfus for £3,400,000, the improvement in price reflecting the added profit he had brought to the concern by his shrewd | |||||||
| reorganisation. | |||||||
| 'In an unobtrusive way Zaharoff became something of a philanthropist in his declining years. In Paris, American financiers | |||||||
| had given him the first drubbing of his life over the world control of oil shortly after the war; this did not prevent him from | |||||||
| giving £100,000 to the "Save the Franc" fund, and vast sums to establish chairs of aviation (a pet interest) at the | |||||||
| Universities of London, Paris and Leningrad, and professorships of literature named after Marshals Foch and Haig, at Oxford | |||||||
| and Paris. Noticing that the monkeys at the Paris Zoo were mangy, and hearing that the chief lion suffered from | |||||||
| rheumatism because of the damp quarters, he once gave £200,000 to that institution. At the end of his career, his gifts | |||||||
| and the depression between them had whittled his fortune down to £5 million. | |||||||
| The death of the duchess in 1926 crushed Zaharoff. He took less and less interest in Vickers, which amalgamated to | |||||||
| become Vickers-Armstrong, and retired from its position as leader of the world armaments cartel to develop as a leader of | |||||||
| British heavy industry. Zaharoff sold his Vickers interests and retired to a French chateau which he had bought as an | |||||||
| engagement gift for his duchess. In 1936 he died there, almost forgotten by the world. The announcement of his death | |||||||
| caused little interest, except perhaps that here and there an elderly pacifist might have been heard to mutter "good | |||||||
| riddance." | |||||||
