  1. Princess Feodora was Queen Victoria's older half sister, from her mother's first marriage. She married Ernst, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and had several children. She and Victoria were deeply devoted to each other and kept up a lifelong correspondence.

    Ernst II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, was Prince Albert's elder brother. They were very close to each other as children, but Ernst became a notorious womanizer as Duke. This put a great strain on his relationship with Victoria and Albert. He died without any heirs and was succeeded by his nephew Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, his brother's second son.


  2. Princess Feodora of Leiningen (7 December 1807 -23 September 1872) was the only daughter of Emich Carl, Prince of Leiningen (1763–1814) and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (1786-1861). Feodora was also an older maternal half-sister of Queen Victoria through the second marriage of her mother.

    On 29 May 1818 her mother remarried to Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. The following year she, along with the rest of the household, was taken to the United Kingdom as the Duchess' pregnancy came to an end, so that the new potential heir to the British Throne could be born on British soil. By all accounts, Feodora enjoyed a very close relationship with her half-sister.

    In 1828, she returned to the German Confederation and married Ernst, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1794-1860) (the prince had no actual domain as the principality had been mediatised to Württemberg in 1806). She maintained a lifelong correspondence with her half-sister.

    Ernst II August Karl Johannes Leopold Alexander Eduard, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (June 21, 1818 -August 22, 1893) was the second sovereign duke of the German duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

    He was the eldest son of Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. He was also the older brother of Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria.

    In Karlsruhe on 3 May 1842, Ernst married with Alexandrine of Baden. The marriage did not produce any children.

    In 1844 Ernst succeeded his father to the duchies of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

    He died without any heirs and was succeeded by his nephew Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, his brother's second son. (Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, Ernst's eldest nephew, had renounced his claims to the duchy.)

    The Duke had a reputation for being a strong friend of the United States, as did his brother Albert. He was, however, the only European sovereign to appoint a consul to the Confederate States of America.

    The Duke was also an amateur composer; his opera Diana von Solange was given to dismal reviews at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City in 1890.
