| Summary | "The Secrets of Potsdam" by William Le Queux is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This work reveals scandalous secrets and intrigues of the German Imperial Court, particularly focusing on the lives of the Kaiser and the Crown-Prince. It is narrated through the perspective of Count Ernst von Heltzendorff, who served as the personal adjutant to the Crown-Prince and provides intimate details of royal scandals and the machinations of the court. The opening portion introduces the concept of the Crown-Prince as a flawed and manipulative figure, referred to as "Willie," who is involved in a tumultuous relationship with his wife, the troubled Cecil Duchess of Mecklenbourg. Count von Heltzendorff describes his observations of the court, detailing the social dynamics and romantic entanglements, including the tragic fate of Count Georg von Leutenberg and his wife, whose secret engagement with the Crown-Prince leads to their untimely demise. Through a series of anecdotes, the narrative sets up a captivating exploration of power, betrayal, and the hidden lives of those at the center of the German monarchy during a turbulent period leading up to World War I.
