 thePeerage.com - Exhibit
Prince William, a fine figure of a young Prussian Major, with a kind heart, a soft voice and a broad smile, was the poet-Queen's favourite nephew: she arranged a marriage between him and one of her protegees, the talented Princess Sophie of Schönburg-Waldenburg, who painted, sang and played the harp.
So Prince William of Wied's name was put forward to the Albanians, who duly elected him as Mbret; the only word in the Albanian language for a ruler, which, in his case, was rendered as Prince.
For some months, William struggled on; while Sophie, who had completely fallen in love with Albania and the Albanians, wrote enthusiastic letters to Carmen Sylva, telling her of all that she was doing.

However, his was a short-lived reign of only six months that was marked by intrigue because Wied had no intention on entrusting any real power to Albanian officials.
And because Greek armies in the south and Serbian armies in the north had already assumed control of major portions of Albania, Wied's government was doomed.
