What gift did the last ruling German royal give his gay lover? A vase.
From the 1880s, Queen Victoria's first grandchild and future Emperor Wilhelm II had a relationship with Prince Philipp zu Eulenburg. This ended two decades later due to the Harden-Eulenburg affair—a journalist reporting "homosexual" conduct at court. It outed Philipp Eulenberg and enveloped Wilhelm's cabinet—ministers, courtiers and army officers—in trials, libel suits and suicides for years. The press said Wilhelm had become depressed.
The affair led Germany to discuss homosexuality—just as the Oscar Wilde trial in England. Historians tie its aftermath to German foreign policy changes that heightened military aggression and led to World War I.
In happier days, Wilhelm II gave Philipp a huge porcelain vase, decorated in 3D floral- and reptile motifs. The vase was last sold in April 2026 by auction house Lempertz, in Berlin.
