Noties van Guido:
Der Coburger Herzog Alfred verstarb 1900, ohne einen männlichen Nachkommen zu hinterlassen. Die Erbfolge fiel nun auf den nächstjüngeren Sohn Alberts, an Arthur, den Herzog von Connaught. Dieser verzichtete jedoch, deshalb war der nächste Sohn, Leopold, Herzog von Albany, an der Reihe. Da dieser aber 1884 im 31. Lebensjahr verstorben war, wurde dessen Sohn, also ein Enkel Alberts und Victorias, erbberechtigt. Es war der noch minderjährige Carl Eduard. Bis zu dessen Volljährigkeit trat der 37jährige Erbprinz Ernst zu Hohelohe-Langenburg die Regentschaft an. Die Regentschaft des Prinzen erlosch im Jahre 1905.
