The following January, Wilhelm received a birthday greeting from a son of the late Prince Johann George Ludwig Ferdinand August Wilhelm of Schönaich-Carolath. The 63-year-old Wilhelm invited the boy and his mother, [[Princess Hermine Reuss of Greiz]], to Doorn. Wilhelm found 35-year-old Hermine very attractive, and greatly enjoyed her company.
