Princess Sofie Renate, Princess of Reuß (27 June 1884 – 1968) was the daughter of Prince Heinrich XXVII Reuß zu Köstritz and Princess Marie of the Netherlands.[1] She was the eldest great grandchild of Tsar Paul I and Catherine the Great.[2][3] As the Queen of Netherlands was nearing old age without child,[4] it was becoming evident that Princess Sofie's older brother Prince Heinrich XXXII Reuss of Köstritz (4 March 1878 – 6 May 1935)[3] would be in the situation to be King[4] who allegedly did not want to become King. This would have put the burden onto Princess Sofie herself[3] who was not once, but twice a direct descendant of the Dutch throne,[5][3] Russian throne and Roman Holy Empire,[3][5] [6] which no longer existed[3] (due to her parents being distantly related Reuss cousins)[5][3] and the Reuss family.[7] The family is one of the Almanach de Saxe-Goetha[5] and Burke's Peerage's[8] most mentioned surnames as they have managed to become rulers and mothers of rulers across the European nation[5] and into Asia and Africa[5] and the Americas.[5][8] Princess Sofie would have had a strong claim to both of the remaining thrones of Holland[5][8] and Romanov Dynasty[5][8] ref>"Dutch Royals". Unofficial Royalty. Retrieved 13 July 2018. </ref> and had the Romanov Family survived the incoming wars.[9] She, like most of the German/Austrian/Russian/Hungarian Empire,[10][11] is directly descended from all of the Monarchs in Western and Eastern Europe[5] and the Middle East[5] (as well as Mexico through the same aunt who was the grandmother of both Prince Albert and Queen Victoria Princess Augusta Reuss of Köstritz.[12][5]
