" . . . Marie was disowned by her parents. In 1899 she marrie Count Georges Jemetel (1859-1944), son of a rich merchant with considerable support from her English relations, but he proved unfaithful, most notably with Infanta Eulalia of Spain, who had been his mistress since 1896.

A palace servant.

1. Daughter (1898-?)

"Duchess Marie was the daughter of Duke Adolf Friedrich V of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1857-1914) (son of HRH Princess Augusta, and thus a first cousin of Queen Mary), and his wife, Princess Elisabeth (1857-1933), daughter of HH Friedrich I, Duke of Anhalt. The drama with Marie was caused by a palace rule that a male servant carried the gas lamps into the palace rooms, including the girls' bedrooms. Thus gave him an opportunity of which the footman called Hecht took advantage. Marie fell pregnant to Hecht. He was dismissed for 'stealing' and later made his story public." (The Quest for Queen Mary)

"In 1898 a nineteen year-old German royal, Duchess Marie of Mecklenburg, became pregnant by the footman whose job it was to bring a night lamp into her bedroom. Her parents, after allowing their daughter to reach this age in complete ignorance of the facts of life, kicked her out of the castle. The scandal touched most of northern Europe's royal families because most of them were related. . . ." (Royal Babylon: 26)

"As a young woman Marie became pregnant by a palace servant. The servant, a married man named Hecht, was responsible for turning off the gas-lights in the bedrooms of the grand ducal children. Several of Marie's cousins, including the future King George V of the United Kingdom and William II, German Emperor, thought that Marie had been 'hypnotised', while Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom thought that Marie had been 'drugged'. Hecht was dismissed from service on the charge of stealing; his subsequent lawsuit against the grand ducal family made the details of the story public. The story made radical newspaper headlines in its day." (Wikipedia)
