Kaiser Wilhelm, as commander-in-chief, could wear any uniform he pleased but he favored the 1st Lieb Hussar uniform. Crown Prince Wilhelm was the honorary commander of the 1st Leib Hussars (red kopak on the busby) and Princess Victoria Luise was the honorary commander of the 2nd Leib Hussars (white kopak on the busby). But von Mackensen was the real Commanding General of the 1st Leib Hussars
