When Prince Maurice suffered from meningitis, Queen Sophie wanted to consult another physician for a second opinion, but King William III refused and the child died. Their already strained relationship fell apart almost completely, as Sophie blamed William for Maurice's death. Nevertheless, the couple had one more son, Prince Alexander, born a year after Maurice's death.
