Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha Philipp (with Louise, 1875)

Biography

German royalty, as the second prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and lord of Csábrág and Szitnya (sk), both in modern-day Slovakia.

He was the eldest son of August, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Clémentine of Orléans. His mother was a daughter of King Louis Philippe I of France. He was a member of the Catholic Koháry line of the House of Wettin and an elder brother of Ferdinand, Tsar of Bulgaria.

In 1870, he became a Major in the Hungarian army. He was a close confidant to his brother-in-law, Crown Prince Rudolf.

In Brussels on 4 February/4 May 1875, Philipp married Louise, Princess of Belgium, his second cousin, daughter of Leopold II, king of the Belgians and granddaughter of Leopold I, king of the Belgians, brother of Philipp's grandfather Ferdinand.

They had two children but their marriage proved disastrous and she left her husband in 1896. In 1898, Louise lost parental power over her children and on 15 January 1906, the divorce was pronounced in Gotha.

Prince Philip had an important collection of coins from Saxony, the East and overseas. He published about Oriental numismatics.

He died on 3 July 1921, aged 77, in Coburg.
