Here is a bit of old news from the year 1965.

Queen Elizabeth then was at a state visit to German - and visited the Salem School near the lake of Constance.

I have been to another school then and there - quite near to Salem.

I might have nearly met her then and there - but only nearly.

Still - it was big news then that she was so near.

EDIT:

I have now deleted the text - because of a possible copyright issue

It is only today that I read in the paper who of the German nobility was present at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

Prince Bernhard of Baden

Bernhard, Hereditary Prince of Baden (Bernhard Max Friedrich August Gustav Louis Kraft; born 27 May 1970) is a German prince and heir to the head of the House of Baden.

Prince Bernhard was born in Schloss Salem, Salem, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, the eldest son of Maximilian, Margrave of Baden, and Archduchess Valerie of Austria.

Through his paternal grandmother, Princess Theodora, Bernhard was a great-nephew of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The Duke often went to Germany to shoot with the family.
In 2021, Bernhard was one of only 30 mourners at his great-uncle's funeral at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle

Bernhard is from the same region of Germany as I am = the former Grand Duchy of Baden.
