Radziwill, Catherine, Princess, 1858-1941We have 1 book for this author.Princess Catherine Radziwill (March 30, 1858 - May 12, 1941[1]), was a Polish princess from a famous Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic family called the Radziwills. She was born as Countess Ekaterina Adamovda Rzewuska. She married Prince Wilhelm Radziwill at age 15 [2] and moved to Berlin to live with his family. Possibly she was the author of a book gossiping about the German Emperor William II and Berlin society in 1884 under the pen name Paul Vasili. She stalked the English-born South African politician named Cecil Rhodes and asked him to marry her, but he refused. She then got revenge by forging his name on a promissory note; Her accusations were eventually proved false however. References
