New York City native Mary Esther Lee (1837-1914) married the prince
brother of the Queen of Denmark in 1874 and was made a member of
the royal family after his death. An active philanthropist to
Protestant causes, Princess Mary von Waldersee then wed a German
count whose close ties to the Prussian court made her an intimate
friend of Kaiser Wilhelm II and a mentor to his young wife. Mary's
influence caused many to believe she was the power behind the
throne, although she preferred to remain in the background. This
biography chronicles the remarkable life of an American woman of
modest wealth who rose to power in Europe's royal courts.
