Could a German Crown Prince Succeed the Kaiser
A young man aged about twenty nine could become emperor of Germany after the current ruler.

The crown prince married Princess Cecelia after a prior romantic interest in an American girl ended by the kaiser. The future emperor remains a matter of conjecture at present.
