Was re-reading an English trans. of that Der Speigel article on Princess Charlotte's sex escapes, and a thought occurred to me.
What was the Hohenzollern's law of succession?
Tried looking it up but couldn't find anything definite. Anyone on here know?
Say what you will about Kaiser Wilhelm II, but one thing he did do right was top up the Hohenzollern family with a nice bumper crop of males, something they were severely lacking in at the turn of the 19/20th centuries.
Had Wilhelm's birth been just a bit more tramatic and he not survived, and had Prince Henry's son Sigismund been born female (one sperm faster than the other), the Hohenzollerns would have been facing a major succession crisis.
In the above scenario, who's next in line?
