"Our story starts with Helsina Bohne who was living in Denmark. She had been sent to the Royal Household in 1845 and became the mistress of the King shortly there after. According to the stories she bore a son who bore too close a resemblance to the King. So the King paid her off with a bit of money to immigrate to the United States. This included either a broach or a watch to remember the King."
This relationship and the accompanying source for it is identified as disputed and is recorded here for further analysis, comment and research in order to determine potential validity and possible future substantiation.

↑ There is active speculation that the father of Henrich Bohne was reportedly the "King of Denmark;" not certain if that was intended to refer to the king who reigned at the time of the reported relationship (about 1845) or to a future king not yet in power. Christian IX of Denmark seems to make the most sense if there is any basis for this statement.
