Hanover and Schleswig-Holstein
Both Hanover and Schleswig-Holstein were annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. Even so, after the succession of Queen Victoria in 1837 and the end of the Personal Union between Britain and Hanover, most ties between the two were severed, hence why Britain didn't get involved on Hanover's behalf in the aforementioned war.
