Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Secret Life of the Kaiser From Birth to Exile: From the Private Papers and Diaries of the Baroness Von Larisch-Reddern of the Imperial Household I have been asked how I came to gather the information for this authentic expose of the life of the ex-Kaiser. That is quite a story and I will relate it as briefly as possible. I happened to be one of four American correspondents at the Coronation of the late Czar Nicholas at Moscow, in the early summer of 1896. At one of the court balls, to which we were bidden. Lord Li, the son of Li Hung Chang, the famous Chinese Viceroy, called the Bismarck of the East, asked me the name of a tall, distinguished looking lady who appeared to be in the suite of Princess Henry of Prussia. Lord Li said his father wanted to know. Naturally I made haste to find out, and a Russian Chamberlain was good enough to formally introduce me after previously volunteering a short history of the lady. The Baroness von Larisch-Reddern, I learned, had been, for ten years, chief of the Kaisers household, - that is she had held the most confidential post at the Berlin court, a position that brought her in daily, almost hourly, contact with Wilhelm, the Empress Augusta Victoria, the royal children, the courtiers, and all who visited the Kaiser´s court, royal relatives and native and foreign royalties, distinguished Germans and ditto visitors to Berlin, - in short with everyone worth knowing. At the time of our meeting at Moscow, the Baroness was Maid of Honor to Princess Henry, a sister of the Czarina, crowned a day before.
