- Breve biografia
- Duchess Cecilie was a daughter of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz III of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and his wife Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna of Russia. She was born and raised in Schwerin, near the Baltic Sea, but spent much time in the south of France with her family for her father's health. In 1905, she married Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, heir to Kaiser Wilhelm II, with whom she had six children. As Crown Princess, Cecilie was noted for her elegance and became a fashion leader in German society. She also became involved in women's education and several schools were named after her.
At the end of World War I in 1918, the German monarchy was deposed and a republic was declared. Cecilie's husband and her father-in-law the kaiser went into exile, but she and her children were permitted to stay in Germany at her private residence Cecilienhof in Potsdam. Cecilie continued to be active in charitable causes, including the Ladies of the Order of St. John, while steering clear of political involvement. At the end of World War II, she fled the advancing Red Army to Bad Kissengen in Bavaria. She lived there until 1952, when she move to an apartment in Stuttgart.
In 1952, she published her memoirs, entitled Remembrances.
