Prince Julius of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg[citation needed] (14 October 1824, Gottorp, Schleswig, Schleswig[1]– 1 June 1903, Itzehoe, Schleswig-Holstein, Prussia, Germany[citation needed]) was the eighth[citation needed] of the ten children of Friedrich Wilhelm, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and Princess Louise Caroline of Hesse-Kassel.

[citation needed] In 1863, Prince Julius was sent to Greece with his young nephew, Prince Vilhelm of Denmark, who had recently ascended to the throne of Greece as King of the Hellenes, as an advisor.

Indignant at what he saw as an attempt at a palace putsch, the King ordered Julius to leave Greece within one week.

[3] Julius contracted a morganatic marriage with Elisabeth von Ziegesar (1856–1887), daughter of Wolf von Ziegesar, at Ballenstedt Castle on 2 July 1883.
