The Little Knife Thrower
In 1864, the future Kaiser's father fought in the Pruschow Danish war and returned home a war hero. His grandmother, Queen Victoria, was ever on the watch for signs of pride from her first grandchild. She told the crown princess to bring him up simply plainly and not with that terrible Prussian pride which grieved dear Papa so much. Starting in mid 1866, when the future Kaiser was seven in starting school, George Hinspeter was chosen to be his tutor. He also looked exactly like the dude who played Tywin Lannister on Game of Thrones. It's really weird. Like if Sophie looks up his picture like exactly like him. Nice.
