Montenegro | Crownprincess Militza Duchess Jutta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz | Royal Wedding


Grandmama - Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz - had the most beautiful jewels from England in large numbers with precious stones of the finest quality and wore diadems,corsage, necklace, bracelets and earrings, each of which made up a pleasing whole to the eye, the colour of the magnificent stones and settings. She always looked like a grand old lady in her jewellery.

My mother, Elisabeth the Grand Duchess Mecklenburg-Strelitz, looked beautiful in the evening with her magnificent figure, in her dark hair a shining diadem, the earrings, the pearl necklace. When she was very young, she loved to wear turquoise jewellery, which she dressed particularly well.

For my confirmation my dear parents sent me three rows of beautiful pearls and a bracelet of sapphires and diamonds, Grandmama and Grandpapa a corsage of diamonds.
My godmothers also gave me rich gifts, including a charmingly decorated toilet table with a beautiful silver set.
At the ball in St Petersburg, when I first met Danilo, I wore my pearl jewelry and my diamond corsage.

For my engagement Danilo gave me a wonderful ring with two large diamonds, a bracelet with sapphire cabochon and other jewelry.

The marriage of the Crown Prince Danilo of Montenegro with the Princess Jutta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was celebrated at Cettinje on the 27th July 1899.

The bride, accompanied by her mother, the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and her brother, Prince Friedrich, arrived at the port of Antivari on the Tuesday evening previously, when they were welcomed by the Crown Prince, Prince Mirko, and the Grand Duke Constantine, and bread and salt were offered to them according to the custom of the country. The harbour was illuminated, and a salute was fired in honour of the Grand Ducal party.

The bride and her relations were enthusiastically greeted by the inhabitanta. On Wednesday the convention of the Princess to the orthodox faith took place at Antivari, where crowds of people assembled along the road from the Topolitza Palace to the church, and the Duchess was accorded an enthusiastic ovation. The Grand Duke Constantine acted as sponsor, and Prince Danilo, Prince Mirko, and the Prince of Naples were among those present.

The Duchess will henceforth be known as the Princess Militza. On the wedding day Prince Danilo and the Duchess Jutta, with her mother and brother, arrived at Cettinje from Antivari, accompanied by the august personages invited to the wedding. The Princess wore the Montenegrin costume, which became her well.

DISTINGUISHED GUEST AT THE CORONATION CEREMONY. PRINCESS MILITZA OF MONTENEGRO. Above the Crown Princess of Montenegro in 1911 attend the coronation in London, wore a hansome white and gold brocade dress and diamond and pearl ornaments.Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Prince Danilo and Princess Militza of Montenegro were two of the most interesting figures in the procession of royal representatives and royal guests in Westminster Abbey for the Coronation. They walked behind the crown Prinre of Rtilaaria and before the Heir Presumptive of Siam..

THE PRINCE OF MONTENEGRO |House of Petrović
Prince Nicholas, who is celebrating the jubilee of his accession to the throne of Montenegro, and has proclaimed himself King of his country, was born in a humble residence at Njegus-- the ancestral village home of the Montenegrin reigning family-- on October 7, 1841. His Royal Highness, who, by the way, only assumed that title in 1900, was first educated under the care or his aunt Darinka at Trieste, and subsequently studied in Paris, where he acquired an excellent knowledge of French, in which language he converses with visitors who are honoured by an audience during their stay in Montenegro. It was as a result of the murder of his uncle Danilo I that Prince Nicholas, whose father, Mirlco then still alive had already been passed over in favour of the murdered Danilo, ascended the throne of Montenegro in 1860. During the fifty years of his reign, and in spite of the many difficulties and national crises through which Montenegro has passed, Prince Nicholas, in his own words, addressed to me during my stay in Cettinje, has been both Ruler of Montenegro and Father of its Inhabitants." It is impossible to meet his Royal Highness and to converse with him without feeling that he is a born leader of men, and it is easy to understand that every Montenegrin, male or female, con fidently follows .him in war and faithfully obeys him in peace.

When Prince Nicholas was barely nineteen years of age he married Milena, the daughter of a senator and Vice- President of the Montenegrin Council of State. The children of this union three sons and six daughters have nearly all made matrimonial alliances possessing or destined to possess importance for Montenegro. Danilo Alexander, the Crown Prince, is married to Princess Jutta, now known as Militza, a daughter of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Hence the tie of relationship between the Montenegrin Royal House and her Majesty Queen Mary, whose mother was the grand-aunt of the Crown Princess of Montenegro.

Mirko, the second son of Prince Nicholas, married Natalie Constantinovitch who, as the nearest representative of the Obrenovitch dynasty, may at some future time claim the throne of Servia for her son. In a country like Montenegro, the establishment of such a claim might even mean the union of Servia and Montenegro under the rule of one Sovereign. Peter, who was only born in 1889, is still unmarried.

The daughters of Prince Nicholas have made remarkable marriages, which have already had and may yet have their effect on Montenegro. Of late the Royal houses of Servia and Montenegro have viewed one another in a not over-friendly spirit, partly because Peter I did not receive what he considered his due when, before he ascended the throne of Servia, he married Zorka.

The Princesses Milica Petrović-Njegoš of Montenegro, also known as Grand Duchess Militza Nikolaevna of Russia, and Stana (Anastasia) are married respectively to the Grand Dukes Peter and Nicholas matrimonial unions naturally carrying with them the goodwill and support of the Royal House of Rusia.


However valuable the above mentioned alliances may be, it is the marriage of Princess Helena to the King of Italy which has been and is of the greatest diplomatic assist ance to Prince Nicholas.
During the acute crisis of 1900-09 between the Austrian Empire and the Southern Slavs, not only was the support of Italy invaluable to Montenegro, but it was the result of the friendly attitude of Italy that enabled the little Principality to avoid the humiliation of dealing direct with Vienna concerning certain alterations which were made in the Treaty of Berlin during the spring of 1909 to the advantage of Montenegro.

Whilst Princess Anna married Prince Francis of Battenberg, the Princesses Xenia and Vera are still unmarried. Montenegro, with its area of but little over 3600 English square miles (slightly more than twice the size of Lancashire), and its popu lation numbering approximately 230,000 souls, is a simple country. Although nominally a constitutional State, the rule of Prince Nicholas is, for all practical purposes, absolute.
