Two New Books at Eurohistory!
Dear Readers,
I hope all is well!
We have two new books coming within 6 weeks: From Freedom to Tyranny: The Memoirs of Countess Viktoria-Luise of Solms-Baruth, former Princess Friedrich Josias of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Mrs. Richard C.B. Whitten) and Royal Collections: Rare Royal and Princely Images from the Eurohistory Archive.
The late Countess wrote her memoirs hoping that one day they would see the light of day. She was the mother of Prince Andreas of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Viktoria -Luise was a fascinating woman who besides having pristine royal connections, Kaiser Wilhelm’s first wife was her godmother and great aunt, also led a fascinating life in the interwar period, the Second World War and its aftermath. The Solms-Baruth, a mediatized dynasty, were also one of Germany’s largest landowners, opponents of Hitler and extremely well connected.
In her memoirs she tells us about life in the interwar period, the rise of National Socialism, the changes former ruling dynasties experienced, the start of WWII, her marriage to Friedrich-Josias, end of the war, divorce and remarriage to an American officer, as well as her settling in the USA and her views on what it was for a royal to settle in the segregated South!
Eurohistory is bringing this book to you!
The book is FASCINATING and we added a large photo section to illustrate the author's long life. The printer is shipping copies to us the first week of March 2016!
The second book is the fist volume in what I expect will be a series that will take us several years to complete…The Eurohistory Archive has somewhere around 400,000 images of royalty from 1850-Present. To better share them, I came up with the idea of a photo book series, each volume covering one or more kingdoms. The first is dedicated to Great Britain and has the following chapters:
The book has 461 photos and is 264-glossy pages and is scheduled to ship to us the first week in April 2016!

The sister of a European king reacted to reading the book quite concisely ...
"Dear Mr Beéche, it is simply SUPER!"

"Dear Arturo, I think it is simply the best of the books you have published. Kudos to you and Pr. Andreas! He tells a compelling story, plus those photographs. How do you do it?"

"I've started reading the book "I did it my way" of Prince Andreas.
I've started reading yesterday and had great difficulty putting it down!
It is very well written, well researched and I love that fragments of diaries have been used and printed. I personally love to read in a person's own words.
The mother of Prince Andreas wrote very well and at times very funny....like about her undergarments and clothes on her wedding day!
It is also wonderful to read the memories the Prince has about his Grandmother Coburg as he calls her, Princess Victoria Adelheid.
She interests me, and one of the prides in my collection is an old very beautiful photo of her and her signature from Veste Coburg may 1928.
I have just started reading the book, not halfway, so I have a lot more to look forward to."

Meiningen: A New Baby Heir
Prince Constantin of Saxe-Meiningen became a father this past July with the arrival of his first son, Prince Michael!
The birth took place in Switzerland, where the baby's parents reside.
This is the first Saxe-Meiningen birth since Prince Constantin, the only son of the late Prince Friedrich of Saxe-Meiningen and Princess Beatrice of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Given the family's request for privacy, we cannot share photos of the baby and his father. But he is a healthy boy and expected to carry the family name one generation further.
