Talk:Charles Augustus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (1912–1988)

I added the remark that he was third in line to the Dutch throne from birth until 1922. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 17:59, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

See this passage from Heinrich XXXII, Prince Reuss of Köstritz:

In 1907, there were fears that Wilhelmina was going to abdicate in favor of her Saxe-Weimar cousins, as a clause in a recent legislative bill submitted to the Dutch parliament called for the exclusion from the succession of children born after the abdication of a sovereign.^[1] Such fears were misplaced however, as Wilhelmina later elaborated that she had no wish of abdicating, and that the legislation was directed at the widowed and childless Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, who, though well known to be considering giving up his claim to the throne, was considering marrying again; there would have been considerable confusion as a result were he to give up the succession claim in favor of his aunt Marie, only to later pass his claim onto any children he might have.^[1]
