Lot Essay

Princess Augusta Victoria of Hohenzollern (1890-1966), the daughter of William, Prince of Hohenzollern, was the wife of King Manuel II of Portugal. She never reigned as Queen, however, as they were married in 1913 after King Manuel had been deposed, a republic had been proclaimed in Portugal, and Manuel had settled in Richmond, near London.
