Deokhye the Last
Princess (덕혜옹주) born on
25 May 1912 at Changdeok Palace in Seoul was the youngest daughter of Emperor Gwangmu
and his concubine, Lady Bongnyeong. In 1917, her name was formally entered into
the Imperial Family's registry and her father, Emperor Gwangmu, loved her
greatly, and established the Deoksu Palace Kindergarten for her in Jeukjodang,
Hamnyeong hall. In 1919, she was secretly engaged to Kim Jang-han, a nephew of
Kim Hwangjin, a court chamberlain.
To save her from
the Japanese scheme to sever the line of royal heirs, King Gojong had his
daughter secretly engaged to Kim Jang-han, a nephew of Kim Hwang-jin, a court
chamberlain.
But the powerless king suddenly and suspiciously died and she was taken to Japan with the excuse of continuing her studies.
In Japan, the young princess suffered ostracism from the Japanese nobility and even involuntarily married Count So Takeyuki who was by no means powerful or influential.
The marriage demonstrates that Korean royalty fell to the same level as the local Japanese aristocracy and the Japanization of the ex-royalty under close supervision, as the colonial government was afraid that the Joseon royal family could become a focus for the independent movement.
