Frederika and Peter
Reading about Queen Frederika and Prince Peter of Greece here in the same thread ... it reminds me that the two of them almost got married. Their respective parents had arranged the match and Peter and Frederika both had a picture of each other on their bedside tables. When it was time to "do something about it", Peter and his father went to Gmunden for a month as guests of the Hannover family. It was supposed to end with an official engagement, but Peter vetoed when he discovered Frederika's German sympathies and saw her in a Nazi-uniform.
