The British royal family has been hit with yet another tragedy as King Charles mourns the loss of his first cousin, Maximilian Margrave of Baden.
The passing of Maximilian, who was also the nephew of the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, adds to the already difficult year that King Charles has faced.
Just a few months ago, he had to bid farewell to his beloved mother, Queen Elizabeth.
Maximilian Margrave of Baden, a member of the disbanded German royalty, passed away at the age of 89.
His family, the House of Baden, had a long-standing history dating back to 1074.
Maximilian’s mother, Princess Theodora, was the sister of Prince Philip, creating a familial connection with King Charles.
The funeral service for Queen Elizabeth was attended by members of the House of Baden, with Maximilian being represented by the Archduchess Valerie of Austria and his eldest son, Bernhard, who is now next in line to succeed King Charles.
Only 30 people were allowed to attend Prince Philip’s burial, and Bernhard was among them.
For the royal family, this year has been filled with sorrow and loss.
Losing the queen on September 8th due to old age was a devastating blow.
Other family members, such as Prince William and Sophie Wessex, traveled to Balmoral during their mother’s final moments.
King Charles and his sister, Princess Anne, were by their mother’s side when she passed away, and Charles ascended to the throne following her death.
In his recent Christmas address as king, Charles delivered a heartfelt message from St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where his parents are laid to rest.
He expressed his gratitude for the support and sympathy shown by the public during this challenging time.
The House of Baden has played a significant role in the monarchy, and the passing of Maximilian Margrave of Baden has undoubtedly impacted King Charles.
As he continues to navigate the responsibilities of being king, he now must also cope with another loss within his family.
