Was a play titled "The merry wives of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" ever staged?
I have read that upon hearing that the British King George V had changed his dynasty name from "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" to "Windsor," the German Kaiser Wilhelm II commented he looked forward to seeing, "The merry wives of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha," an ironic reference to Shakespeare's play "The merry wives of Windsor." My Highschool history textbook went as far as to claim that Wilhelm II actually staged a parody play titled, "The merry wives of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha." Is there evidence of this?
The kaiser is at the theater seeing "The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha", upvote an image of Comrade Mosley.
TIL: The royal last name was changed from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor (from Windsor Castle) in 1917 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hou…
