Biography
Jutta Mecklenburg-Strelitskaya was born in Neustrelitz and was the youngest daughter of the Crown Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitzky Adolf Friedrich V (representative of the Germanic Bodrichan dynasty Niklotovich) and his wife Elizabeth of Anhalt (Saxon Princess). Together with her sister Maria Jutta, she lived in Karlsruhe and was brought up by governesses; for some time she practically did not see her parents.
Jutta married the Crown Prince of Montenegro Danila Petrovich Negosh , whom she met at a family holiday in Berlin . It is noteworthy that the overlords of her father greatly contributed to this marriage: the German emperor Wilhelm II , who did not think far ahead. Jutta arrived in Montenegro, accompanied by her future brother-in-law, the Crown Prince of Italy, Victor Emanuel , the husband of Danila's sister, Elena [1] . She married Prince Danilo on July 27, 1899 . After marriage and the transition to Orthodoxy, Jutta adopted the name Militsa. The newlyweds settled in the Blue Palace in Cetinje .
The Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich wrote in his diary on July 14 [2] :
| At 9 a.m., Princess Jutta was scheduled to join Orthodoxy . My mother and brother did not want to be present at the same time, and I was asked to take my bride to the Anti-Vary Church. Jutta was very good in the Montenegrin [3] dress. Dear to church, in a carriage, the conversation was not glued too much; she asked me if she would have to renounce the Lutheran faith . I replied that her accession would take place in the same rite according to which Empress Alexandra Feodorovna accepted our religion, and added that both of our creeds are Christian and that the Lutherans do not need to renounce anything, but just have to accept something else. new ... Jutta herself read the Creed from the book in which it was written in German [4] letters. She was named Militsa. |
During World War I, Montenegro, in alliance with Serbia, fought against the combined forces of Austria-Hungary and the German Empire . A villa near Antivari , where the former German citizen Militsa Mecklenburg-Strelitskaya lived, Austrian aviation subjected to barbaric bombing in mid-November 1914 [5] . Of course, no demarches by William II followed.
After the war, Montenegro became part of the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes . In fact: Serbia absorbed Montenegro. The Montenegrin royal family, not subject to violence, created a government in exile. From March 1 to March 7, 1921, the titular king of Montenegro was Danilo Petrovich Negosh, and Militsa, respectively, was the queen. However, on March 7, 1921, for reasons that have not yet been clarified, Danilo refused claims to the throne and supremacy in the royal family in favor of his nephew, Prince Mikhail Petrovich-Negosh . A few days after that, he officially abdicated in favor of Michael.
Yutta Militsa spent the rest of her life in exile - away from Montenegro and Mecklenburg. She and her husband lived in France, where Danilo died in 1939 . Jutta moved to Italy and died in Rome in 1946 .
