Died. Her Royal Highness Princess Louise Mary Amelia, 65, eldest daughter of the late King Leopold II of Belgium, and niece of Mad Princess Carlotta; at Wiesbaden, alone, of double pneumonia. Heavily in debt she died unconscious of the fact that the law courts of Belgium had awarded her 2,000,000 francs.

The troubles of Princess Louise began at the age of 17 when she was married off to a drunken Prince of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, twice her age. At 40 she accepted a brilliant Austrian cavalry officer (Count Mattachich) as her lover. After a duel and with the assistance of Emperor Francis Joseph, her lover married her. He finally died of drug. Meanwhile King Leopold disowned and endeavored to disinherit Princess Louise, with the result that she spent most of her later years at law. But Mattachich's name was on her lips at death.
