Grand Duke puts cousin under guardianship

April 23, 1908

Grand Duke Friedrich Franz of Mecklenburg-Schwerin has had to take drastic measures regarding his cousin, Duke Heinrich-Borwin. The New York Times reports that today the Grand Duke has place Heinrich-Borwin "under a wardship in consequence of his squandering the family fortune."
Heinrich-Borwin, who recently left the army, will receive "only a small allowance."
The Duke's parents, Duke Paul Friedrich, and his wife, the former Princess Marie zu Windisch-Graetz, have been under a similar guardianship since 1906.
