Princess Thyra

[edit]

Princess Thyra of Denmark (1853-1933) married Prince Ernest Augustus, 3rd Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale (1845-1923) on 22 December 1878 at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. Ernest Augustus was the eldest child and only son of George V of Hanover and his wife, Princess Marie of Saxe-Altenburg.

They had three sons and three daughters, seven grandsons and five granddaughters. Queen Frederica of the Hellenes, as a daughter of Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick, is a granddaughter of Princess Thyra and thus a great-granddaughter of Christian IX of Denmark.

Thanks to her marriage, Thyra became Duchess of Cumberland and Teviotdale and Duchess of Brunswick-Luneburg; although she was styled Crown Princess of Hanover, in pretense she was Queen Consort of Hanover because both her husband and late father-in-law (who died six months before her marriage) never renounced or abdicated his rights over the annexed Kingdom of Hanover.

They had four sons and one daughter, seven grandsons and two granddaughters. The former Queen Anne of Romania, as a daughter of Princess Margaret of Denmark, is a granddaughter of Prince Valdemar and thus a great-granddaughter of Christian IX of Denmark.

Valdemar was offered two European thrones, those of Bulgaria and Norway, but declined them due to international pressures.
