Start 1861: I just inherited the Dutch throne

Chapter 663: The "Squid Gate" Incident More than 100 Years Ago

On September 1878, 9, the scandal in the royal family of the Kingdom of Greece expanded. It was revealed that Princess Louise and Crown Prince Frederik were living separately, which was exposed in newspapers across Europe.

The source of the news is that Crown Prince Frederic was exposed for domestic violence in August when he punched and kicked Princess Louise several times, so much so that the Crown Princess needed to ask an outside doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

In order to restore his reputation, Crown Prince Frederick agreed to accept a joint interview with the Financial Times and the European Times on September 1878, 9. In the interview, he painfully expressed his remorse for Princess Louise's domestic violence. But it’s not that he can’t be humane as the media said before, but because his relationship with a married woman named Camilla in Greece aroused Princess Louise’s dissatisfaction. With his announcement, the two After his long-standing affair was made public, he immediately lost the support of the Greek public he had been desperately trying to win back.

It seems that at the same time, the Greek media also exposed Crown Princess Louise’s affair. The correspondence between her and a lover named William was made public. In the correspondence and conversation, the Dutch William, who is from Melbourne, told Crown Princess Louise, who he loved and called her a "lovely squid", had 53 correspondences between them, sparking a strong curiosity about what William of Melbourne was capable of. , was able to seduce Princess Louise, who is famous for her beauty in the UK, to be so infatuated.

Because they are always called cute squids in letters, this incident is also known as the "Squidgate" incident.

So many newspapers immediately turned their attention from Crown Prince Frederick to Crown Princess Louise.

It is said that William III was very angry about this, and he was troubled by the changes in the relationship between Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess.

At this time, Crown Princess Louise was interviewed by the media. Princess Louise confirmed that the correspondence records were true, but she denied that the relationship between the two was too close.

On September 1878, 9, Princess Louise had an exclusive interview with a reporter from "European Times". She talked about the tremendous pressure she faced and how she gave birth to the second child of the Greek royal family, Wilhelmina, in 29. The princess (No. 1876 was Prince Karel, who was born in 2) suffered from depression and bulimia. She said that she knew about the underground love affair between Crown Prince Frederick and the married woman Camilla. This marriage lasted for three years. The person was too crowded, and she also admitted that she had cheated on her, but that was already in the past.

The affair between the crown prince and his wife was widely publicized by the media, causing an uproar among the Greek people. In order to reduce the impact, William III personally wrote a letter urging Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Louise to calm down. At the same time, William III also made strong demands Crown Prince Frederic and Camilla end their underground romance.

The turmoil seemed to have calmed down, but everyone understood that the hero and heroine in the turmoil, Crown Prince Frederic and Princess Louise, had a marriage change, and they were now strangers.

I don’t know if it was because of the impact of the aftermath of their marriage on the image of the Greek royal family. William III actually announced in the Greek palace that Prince Karel was canonized as the Duke of Sparta and Princess Wilhelmina was the Grand Duchess of Athens. William III. It is to prove to the world the purity of the blood of the prince and princess, and to deny the claim that the two are not of royal blood.

The storm stopped.

The Royal Palace of Greece, in Crown Prince Frederik's private room.

"boom blah blah"

There was a sound of ceramic shards being thrown all over the floor, and everyone outside the palace was scared, because in recent years, as the crown prince's temper has become more and more weird, and his personality has become more and more erratic, these three people alone In 20, more than [-] of the crown prince’s servants were fired.

They are naturally aware of the turmoil caused by the media outside, and they (they) are more aware of what is going on inside. Because of their understanding, they (they) know better the source of Crown Prince Frederick's anger.

They couldn't help but show their sympathy for the crown prince.

Crown Prince Frederik's face in the room was slightly distorted. He now hated the person who exposed his secret, but at the same time, he was even more angry that Princess Louise's merciless dissatisfaction with him was exposed in front of the media.

Now, even his father, William III, canonizes Prince Karel as Duke of Sparta.

"Those two bastards were actually identified," Crown Prince Frederik said angrily: "Father knew clearly that Louise's bitch lover was Hendrik (William IV), and that Karel and Wilhelmina is not mine but Hendrik's, and apparently he openly declared Karel the Grand Duke of Sparta. Is this a disguised form of pressure on me to stop?"

Crown Prince Frederick was very panicked.

Because although he is a Greek crown prince, European royal families know that historically, all Greek crown princes will inevitably become the Duke of Sparta, which is one of the symbols of inheriting the Greek throne.

It's good now, he is the crown prince, and Prince Karel is the Duke of Sparta. It doesn't matter if Karel is of his own blood, but the other party is not.

Judging from the meaning of his father William III, it seems that he means more than just the third heir?
and Wilhelmina, the Archduchess of Athens.The Grand Duke of Athens is the fourth heir to the throne. Well, it seems that his father, William III, is determined to make Hendrick's bloodline the bloodline of the Greek royal family.

I imagine that I, William IV, who is far away in Melbourne, should be very proud at this time.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and suddenly there were many valuable antiques that he picked up and smashed down in his hands.

At the same time, not far from here, Crown Princess Louise was calmly teaching lessons to 5-year-old Prince Karel and 2-year-old Princess Wilhelmina.

In another palace of the couple, William III looked at the information in his hand with complicated eyes.The person who disclosed the relationship between Princess Louise and William.Intelligence showed that it was his third son, Crown Prince Frederik. What exposed the inhumane nature of his third son, Crown Prince Frederik, was that it was the forces in Greece who were dissatisfied with the royal family. As for those who defended Princess Louise, they came from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

Look at the current direction of the international media.I know this is the reason why the storm calmed down so quickly.

At the same time, William III also had a headache.

The child Frederick was indeed diagnosed early in his life, and his body might make it difficult for him to have a child, which was why the couple were initially worried.

However, before their marriage, they did not tell the truth to Queen Victoria of England, so they are now very embarrassed.

However, due to a strange combination of circumstances, what shocked William III was that Princess Louise actually had an underground love affair with her eldest son Hendrick, and following investigation, it was discovered that Frederic's child was actually Hendrick's.

He knew clearly that when Princess Louise and Hendrick (William IV) met less than 20 times in total, they developed feelings. After further investigation, he discovered that the two met in 1863 with William IV (William IV). Hendrik met each other when they held the European Belief Conference.

After that, the correspondence between the two became a portrait of their intimacy.

In other words, Crown Prince Frederik married a British princess who was in love with his eldest son Hendrick.

William III held his forehead with a headache, "Is this the so-called rekindling of an old relationship?"

After figuring out the ins and outs, he finally decisively put the so-called "Squidgate" incident to rest, and at the same time personally confirmed that Prince Karel and Wilhelmina were his grandsons and granddaughters in Greece no matter what.

As for Frederick's thoughts, facing the inability to give birth to his third son, he could only find ways to comfort him.

"Okay, I admit that I am a bit more selfish, but these are extraordinary times. By doing this, I appease Queen Victoria in Buckingham Palace in London, and at the same time reassure my eldest son Hendrick in Melbourne. It kills two birds with one stone, internally. It can also appease the restless heart of Greece. That's right, even if they know that these two children are not the son of the crown prince, but they are his grandsons and have the right to inherit the throne of Greece, this is enough to shut their mouths. reason"

William III suddenly said fiercely: "However, these guys actually deliberately led to expand the attack on the royal family, but they cannot easily forgive each other. It is time to suppress them, otherwise they may jump higher one day."

William IV, who was far away in Melbourne in the Far East, breathed a sigh of relief after learning about the situation in Athens.

Looking at the middle-aged Dutch Director of International Intelligence, McKay Sean, and the Director of Royal Dutch Intelligence, Bill Charlie, who deliberately lowered their heads when William IV was flipping through the information about Greece, William IV It was awkward for the first time in years.

Using intelligence agencies to help him collect information about his lover, who is also his younger brother and sister, is unlearned and romantic.The two people who were familiar with their journey with Princess Louise were very silent on the matter.

William IV was very satisfied. As expected, those who engaged in intelligence had a good mouth. However, Alexandra was a smart person. Although she concealed it well, William IV understood that she had already dealt with Princess Louise. Familiar, but just pretending not to know.

That's right, there are very few kings in the European royal family who have not had an affair, even Christian IX. Oscar II, who has replaced Karl XV as the king of Sweden, is famous for his romantic affairs.

The future King Edward VII of the United Kingdom and the current Crown Prince Edward of the United Kingdom are even more fascinated by the fireworks.

The only one who really has no scandal is Karl XV.

Well, he admitted that he was looking for reasons for himself, and he also admitted that he was willing to continue to exchange letters with Princess Louise after 1863, and to train her to become an ambitious person, which greatly satisfied his calculations.

In 1872, he began to pick the long-ripe, tender peaches by himself. Who told Frederick, who was always hostile to him, not to be humane?

William IV immediately put all this behind him, then pretended to cough twice and said, "What was the reaction from the British side?"

"Buckingham Palace has been silent and unresponsive so far," McKay Sean said matter-of-factly.

“The Creston administration has recently begun to increase its interaction with President Miter of Argentina?
McKay Sean: "Yes"

William IV: "If so, then the operation codenamed South American Fox can be implemented."
