Early life
Marie was born at Hildburghausen, as Princess Marie of Saxe-Hildburghausen, the eldest daughter of Joseph, the Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Hildburghausen and Duchess Amelia of Württemberg. In 1826, the family moved to Altenburg as a result of a transfer of territories among the various branches of the Ernestine Wettins, and Marie took the title Princess of Saxe-Altenburg in place of the previous.
Marriage
Marie married, on 18 February 1843, at Hanover, George, The Crown Prince of Hanover. They had three children - Prince Ernest Augustus, Princess Frederica, and Princess Marie.
Queen of Hanover
The Crown Prince and Princess became King and Queen of Hanover upon the death of his father, Ernest Augustus I of Hanover, on 18 November 1851. Her husband was expelled from his kingdom in 1866 as a result of his support for Austria in the Austro-Prussian War, and on 20 September 1866, the Kingdom was annexed by Prussia. Nevertheless, George never abdicated; he, Marie and their children lived in exile at Gmunden, in Austria, until George's death in 1878.
On 18 September 1872, Queen Marie was godmother to Queen Victoria's granddaughter, Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein. Princess Marie Louise was the youngest daughter of Princess Helena (Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein); Queen Victoria & Prince Albert's third daughter and fifth child.
Later life
Queen Marie died, some twenty-eight years after her husband, on 9 January 1907, at Gmunden, where she was later buried.
