-'''Princess Johanna of Hesse and by Rhine''' (Johanna Marina Eleonore), ([[September 20]], [[1936]] - [[June 14]], [[1939]]), was the third child and only daughter of [[Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse]] and [[Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark]] (sister of [[Philip, Duke of Edinburgh]]). She was orphaned at age fourteen months when her parents, two older brothers [[Prince Ludwig of Hesse and by Rhine|Ludwig]] and [[Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine (1933-1937)|Prince Alexander]] and paternal grandmother [[Eleonore of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich|Grand Duchess Eleonore]] were killed in an [[Sabena OO-AUB Ostend crash|airplane crash]] on their way to a family wedding in [[London]].<ref>Duff (1967)</ref>

-After the accident, her uncle [[Prince Louis of Hesse and by Rhine|Ludwig]] married his bride Margaret Geddes. The couple adopted Johanna, their orphaned niece, and planned to raise her as their own daughter, but she developed [[meningitis]] and died twenty months later at the age of two and a half.<ref>Duff (1967)</ref> Her maternal grandmother, [[Princess Alice of Battenberg]], said later that the unconscious Johanna so closely resembled her mother at the same age that it felt like losing her daughter Cecilie all over again.<ref>Vickers (2003)</ref> Following Johanna's death, she was buried with her parents and brothers at the Rosenhohe. Her uncle Ludwig and aunt Margaret were not able to have children of their own.<ref>Duff (1967)</ref>

-==="Family curse"===
-Some considered the Hessian family victims of a [[curse]] due to the number of premature deaths in the family. Johanna was a great niece of [[Alexandra Fyodorovna of Hesse|Tsarina Alexandra]] and [[Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna]], both of whom were killed with family members during the [[Russian Revolution of 1917]]. Her maternal great-grandmother [[Princess Alice of the United Kingdom]] and a great aunt, [[Princess Marie of Hesse and by Rhine]], died of [[diphtheria]]. A [[haemophiliac]] great-uncle, [[Prince Friedrich of Hesse and by Rhine]], tumbled twenty feet through an open window at age two and died of a brain hemorrhage hours later. An aunt, [[Princess Elisabeth of Hesse]], died at age eight of virulent [[typhoid]], though she was rumored to have eaten from a poisoned dish meant for [[Nicholas II of Russia]]. One of Johanna's great-uncles, [[Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma]], was killed in 1979 by the [[Provisional Irish Republican Army]] along with his 14-year-old grandson, [[Nicholas Knatchbull]], and his daughter's mother-in-law, [[Doreen Knatchbull, Baroness Brabourne]]. Early deaths continued into the next generation, when [[Leonora Knatchbull]], a great-granddaughter of Earl Mountbatten of Burma, died at age five of a kidney tumor in 1991.<ref>Duff (1967)</ref>
