Princess Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meiningen is the second daughter of the king of Scandinavia and appears in "A Scandal in Bohemia".

She was engaged to be married to King Wilhelm of Bohemia when a potential scandal arose, with Irene Adler threatening to reveal that she and the king had had an affair if the king married Clotilde. The king therefore hired Sherlock Holmes to retrieve a picture Adler had, as well as his letters. However, Holmes was not able to do so, as Adler caught on to his ruse: fortunately, she decided to not release the picture and the wedding was able to proceed as planned.
