The Princess in the Asylum: Louise of Belgium
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.พ. 2021
- A story of love, hate, betrayal, and one of the world’s largest inheritances.
Princess Louise of Belgium was the eldest daughter of King Leopold II and Queen Marie Henriette. Her disastrous marriage to Prince Philipp of Saxe-Coburg und Gotha took her from being a sheltered sixteen-year-old child to a Real Housewife of Imperial Vienna. Her adventures as she searched for love and happiness made her world-famous...or maybe I should say "infamous." Those adventures took her from a palace to an asylum, and from the south of France to a simple inn in Poland. This is a riches-to-rags story that left Louise without the money to bury her one true love. I hope you enjoy meeting her. Whether you think she was her own worst enemy or the victim of a misogynist culture, you're absolutely right. ;)
I have no idea why this story isn't a movie yet. History is so awesome.

ABOUT THE GIRL IN THE TIARA
----------------------------------------------------
I tell stories about tiaras and the fascinating royal women who wore them. Join me as I follow these tiaras across generations and countries, through wars and revolutions and-sometimes-into darkness and disappearance and destruction.
This isn't the kind of history your professor lectured about. Instead, think of this as conversational history, like a mash-up of Drunk History and The Crown. Yes, there's a little swearing. There's also humor and heart and a boatload of compassion for these amazing royal women.
ABOUT ME
-------------------
I never intended to start a channel or a website about tiaras and royal history. But a midlife crisis forced me to re-examine my life. I gave up fiction writing after self-publishing 9 of the 10 books I'd written and earning next to nothing.
Instead of the misery of marketing books, I turned to my first love...royal history. So here I am, a 40-something burnout, trying to start over by recapturing her love of history, royal women, and their jewels.

Louise's life should DEFINITELY become a NetFlix series! Unbelievable. Another great story! Brava
Thank you - I'm so glad you liked it! Louise is amazing, and I hope we see her story on the big screen someday. I think she'd get a kick out of it. ;)
You mean to put Another disastrous marriage into a disastrous Netflix series...... I am sure they would manage that outstandingly
@mbd I would just hope they followed true events without sensationalizing or embellishing. This story is already incredible enough!
Hope it will be
Try Dr. ZHIVAGO
This needs to be a movie. I'm surprised it hasn't been done. The romance of the century.
Go write it. I'll watch it.
She had need to use her position to do something good with her life. Silly woman putting others in perilous situations.
Maybe it has been done but not by Hollywood yet.
@@dianacipollone4560 ah yes the saying is: before you judge a woman, walk a mile in her shoes. Sounded like she just rebelled after growing with an angry domineering father and then marrying one.
There was a british movie a long time ago. Unfortunately no copy exists
"The world dislikes a woman who defends herself." Still true.
This is exactly what I just commented!!! I should have looked thru the comments lol.
👏 👏 👏
Yes! This is the quote I still can't get out of my head.
How dare YOU deny the fact that women still get shat on daily.
@Dri Ven and I have done nothing but try to defend myself. The statement you so ignorantly dismissed is still true for some.
She was ahead of her time and abused for it. What person wouldn't feel controlled in a situation like that. Nicely done video 👌
Thanks - so glad you liked meeting Louise! :)
I can relate
Poor Louise. Her mother, who she loved, apparently never went to see her in the asylum.
An excellent biography. I enjoyed it and I've subscribed.
No, her mother never went to see her in the asylum - that's such a sad part of the story. If she had, I feel like they could have talked through any issues Marie-Henriette had about Louise's behavior. I'm so glad you enjoyed meeting Louise...and thank you very much for subscribing! ❤️
She’s a lovely looking woman, her husband and father were monsters,I’m so glad I wasn’t born during these times.
She was lovely - I agree. I always picture her as one of those vibrant women who have even more charm and magnetism than a photo can capture.
Why are they monsters? She behaved like a monster herself!
Sounds like to me she had lots of fun. But enough is enough if any women acted like that today they would be disowned.
@@dorapete4536 Someday read what her father did to the people of the Belgian Congo when it was his personal property.
@@TheLittledikkins Yep.
I think Princess Louise was a victim of the period she grew up in and the culture. It's not wonder she turned out the way she did. Plus, add on the fact she was a woman in a time when women didn't have any real rights to themselves - it's a wonder she didn't go further in her rebellion.
Who knows, maybe she did! I'm going to hope she did anyway! I'm going to ASSUME she did! 🤣
I agree! I think her story would have turned out differently if she'd lived in our times. She could have divorced and remarried, had access to therapy if she needed it, and could have even found a career to help support herself...maybe as a high-society journalist or publicist? Instead, they all just wanted her to be quiet and behave. Ugh.
It still happens today.
@@TheGirlintheTiara tis the times!
No she was the victim of a horrible father & husband.
The narrator has a beautiful voice and tells the story so well. (Well, I think so!)
I agree! So very calming!
Thank you so much - that means a lot to me! This is a one-woman show, so I'm the narrator, writer, video maker, and everything else. I'm glad I could entertain you. ❤️
Sorry but I disagree. It sounds like she's whispering and is very hard to hear.
You are right!
@@tamaliaalisjahbana9354 Well, thank you! I don't mean to be rude. I did think the story was very interesting.
"Whether you think she was her own worst enemy or the victim of a misogynist culture, you're absolutely right. ;)"
Well said, and true of most of us, truth be told...
Glad you liked that little tidbit! ;) It was born of my inability to reconcile how much I like Louise with the fact that many of her problems were of her own making.
Another facinating tale well told. She may have been a far happier person were it not for the fact that her father was one of the most dispicable persons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Thank you! And you're absolutely right about Leopold. Ugh. I try to find redeeming qualities about everyone when I start writing and researching these stories, but that dude...I just can't. The bad so outweighs any good I could find, had I the inclination and a powerful enough microscope.
He was an awful swine !!!
Try Adam Hochschild's history KING LEOPOLD'S GHOST.
Something in Belgium's bourgeois Catholic society can produce extreme evil, like Leopold II or serial child-killer Marc Dutroux. But it can also produce extreme good, like Father Damien.
Only two bathrooms? That's a shabby palace.
Can you imagine how it smelled?
When you are lactose intolerant and your husband forces you to drink milk in your coffee every morning, there are never enough bathrooms.
What a telling statement that Louise " could not recall her Parents ever exchanging one endearment." Poor child to have such a memory !
Royalty leaves a lot to be desired. Thank you for this amazing account of her life. Well done
Absolutely! That quote is one of several that stuck with me long after I read Louise's memoir. So glad you enjoyed her story. :)
Sounds like an awful lot of kids’ lives today, no royalty required.
I find it stupid that in belgium we never learn about our royal family asspecialy people like princess louise great vid i enjoyed it very much greetings from belgium
I do agree we don't learn enough about our royal history, but let's be fair, let's < start learning about Leopold in the Congo, and not about marriages of all the princesses :) This is more interesting trivia :-)
Thank you - I'm so glad you enjoyed it! That's how it is in U.S. history classes, too, at least when I was in school. We almost never learned about the family members of presidents or politicians, even if they had interesting lives. I hope to visit Belgium one day - I really look forward to seeing where Louise's story began firsthand. :)
@@TheGirlintheTiara you will love it here we are very humble people and we like travellers allot so you are always welcome but after covid of course
@@habsburgsenederlanden6278 Definitely! Once it's safe to travel again, Belgium is the first place on my list to travel. It helps that I enjoy Belgian beer as well as Belgian royal history. ;)
@@TheGirlintheTiara Hallo, may I ask from which country you are ? I love this vid very much, you know a lot about royal history, my compliments ! From Holland with love, Lynda 🤩😍🤩😍👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
What a fascinating woman. I quite admire the way in which she broke the rules so spectacularly to get revenge on the parents, husband and the world's mysogeny that did her wrong. Her diary extracts were amazing and insightful.
This woman getting all these men to fall in love with her, and I can barely get a date.
😂She had an adventure!!!🥰😃
She had a royal WAP
Ditto :-)
😂So true!!! I guess we aren’t in the right “circles”!😂
😂😂😂
The sister of Princess Stephanie, whose marriage to Rudolf of Austria was equally disastrous. It could be argued that bad marriages contributed to WWI
It was disastrous, you're absolutely right - it breaks my heart, though. Stephanie was one of the only people who tried to point out how fragile Rudolf was in the last year or two of his life, but no one wanted to listen to her. I always feel terrible for her during this part of the story.
@@TheGirlintheTiara Is that true? I am not familiar with that fact. Thank you!
@@mbsheisey Yes, it's true - Stephanie mentions these incidents in her memoir. She even tried to tell Emperor Franz Josef that she was seriously worried about Rudolf, and he dismissed her by saying that Rudolf just needed to spend more time with her. Greg King and Penny Wilson also mention these incidents in their book on Mayerling, "Twilight of Empire." I recommend that book if you're interested in Rudolf, Stephanie, and Mayerling!
@@TheGirlintheTiara
Thank You!
Yeah and how Stéphanie had to deal with her mother-in-law (Sisi)'s being a b*tch to her and blaming her for Rudolf's death, when he did it to himself, I feel sorry for Leopold II's daughters and wife of how they had to deal with the cruel behavior or Leopold
This was very interesting, but a truly sad story. The poor woman didn't stand a chance. A perfect example of how life can be extremely cruel, no matter who you are and what your standing is.
I enjoyed the presentation. The speaker has a pleasant voice. Pictures of the key players were shown and dates referenced for easy comprehension for the listener. I subscribed to the channel and will select another topic. Nicely done !
Thank you - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm enthralled by this story! The early years of her marriage, as you described them, might as well have been describing my own failed marriage. And we need a petition to make this into a Netflix series!!! Fantastic video! 💕
Growing up with emotionally distant, cold parents, and given no sex ed can be devastating. More then people give credit for.
Read Unorthodox.
Can you imagine going to the marriage bed with no idea about sex?! I'd have been out the window & down the castle trellis!
LANIE BRADBURY i am SORRY for your PAIN & SUFFERING from your ex-husband. PEOPLE can be so CRUEL. I am glad you got away from that person. GOD BLESS YOU.
“Overlooked” the atrocities in the Belgian Congo, more like co-signed it. Love it when horrible history and people are rewritten with such a light touch... 👍
Yes her “abuse” and suffering was a whimper compared to the wails and screams in the Congo. Comparing leads one to feel this is embarassing….
You made Princess Louise justice, at last ! Thank you. Her story was heartbreaking, you have the talent to story telling with such finesse that it's a true pleasure to listen to every word.
Aristocracy had always be tough on women, the loveless unions being the beginning of a long agony and endless abuse.
My godmother, an Italian countess with English/French roots, cousin of Savoia Royal household, told me about relatives sent in to priestehood or in monastery since their teenagers years, because the family wanted to préserve their wealth and not loose their fortune in weedings. Clustered, voiceless, one of her anchestors commited suicide while being a young monk ! The family spoke of him as very sick to avoid scandal and embarassement in society.
Your French prononciation is perfect, Parfaite !
Best Regards from Paris
I think Louise was abused by all 3 men in her unfortunate life...by her father,husband and her lover geza who was sleeping with his mistresses and claimed to love louise.....thats sick.
He stayed with her through all of it.
He was imprisoned, stripped of his rank and impoverished. He spent 3 years waiting for a chance to free her from the asylum and she died loving him . He wasn't perfect but cut the guy some slack neither was she
@@angelaclements1244 that's kind of romantic
YAY!
New one!
And her nose was PERFECT.
YES! So many of her pictures are in profile...it makes me wonder if she knew her profile was fabulous and requested that type of photo, or if the photographers saw it in her and posed her that way. I hope she knew it. ❤️
It was her father's nose 😁
She had a great aquiline nose!
I just started watching these videos yesterday and I’m already in love with learning about women in history ! ❤️
Oh, I'm so glad you're here! There are so many interesting royal women out there who get no coverage. I love meeting other people who are interested in them, too. ❤️
Thank you! Love stories of Royalty! Strong women are usually treated with contempt, being institutionalized to "shut us up", literally! Thank you, again for such an interesting and thought provoking story. Netflix, yes for sure.😁❣
You're very welcome - I'm so glad you liked it! I'm still a little in awe of how Louise held onto her belief in herself throughout those years of institutionalization. She was one tough lady. ❤️
Fascinating channel and Leopoldo was a monster!!!
Imagine ! What a tough cookie she was !
Not only to live such a life, but to do it in those times. The travelling alone in carriges over thousands of kilometres would kill most. The hygenic circumstances while traveling. Down to the clothes - it must have been so hard.
And funny how the present Belgian King looks like her. Beeing quite the opposite. Appearing shy and a bit authistic and very bland.
But he has a half sister who is treated as a scandalous misstep of his father. A shunned woman, painter, called Delphine.
She has her spirit. She got her rights and exposed the lies and the way she was treated .
Great story this! Exiting.
Thank you - I'm so glad you liked meeting Louise. Yep, she was definitely a tough cookie. Her life in the asylum and the sanitariums that followed was comfortable, but she was still a prisoner. I can only imagine how hard it was to keep believing in herself when even her own family shunned her. That's one of my favorite parts of the story - her belief in herself. ❤️
The Girl in the Tiara, yes she was an unbelievably strong woman 👍
the crown who? this is the Netflix show the world needs!
Right? An endless series about the most boring Royals on EARTH that have been talked about for eons while so many more interesting ones existed? C'mon, man!
I just learned the basics of this story when I was reading about the life Louise’s sister, Princess Stephanie of Belgium, Crown Princess of Austria! I’m so glad your telling this story in detail. 😍🥰
Thank you so much - and I'm glad to hear you were reading about Stephanie! I'm working on translating her memoir, so I may do a video about her too, eventually. Weren't those two a pair? They don't get very good press, and okay, they may have had some less than desirable personality traits, but deep down, I always root for them. :)
@@TheGirlintheTiara Oh please do Stephanie! She may have had awkward characteristics but she was dealt a terrible hand.
@@fizzao1342 I would LOVE to do Stephanie. I'm actually translating her memoir right now!
Yeah, I would too, I only know that Stéphanie was being mistreated by her mother-in-law Sisi because of how Sisi hated Stéphanie's aunt Charlotte (I kind of like Sisi, but her being a b*tch to her daughter-in-law was very harsh and horrible)
I would also love a video of the life of Leopold II of Belgium's youngest daughter and child Clémentine and also his wife Marie Henriette of Austria
@@cherryblossom2494 I did just pick up a biography of Marie Henriette - and another book gave me some fascinating details about how she took care of Charlotte. I think it's safe to say she'll get her own video. ;)
I agree, this could be a Netflix series!! I loved watching this video 💕
"The Girl in the Tiara", you are definitely a gifted storyteller. It was such a pleasant experience to watch this documentary! Yes, it seems that Louise was a woman ahead of her time. Unfortunately, she had to live her life fighting against the frames people around her wanted to her. How suffocating! A bird in a beautiful cage is still a bird in a cage. Thank you for sharing her story. It was full of suspense, drama, and curious facts. Everything worked well, the beautiful photos, the wealth of details and, of course, your very pleasant voice. I guess it took a lot of research on your part to put all of this together. Thank you for taking the time to build this extraordinary story! I am sure, Louise would be so proud of having such a devoted ally on you. :)
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you liked Louise's video - and your comment brought a big smile to my face. As sad as her story is, I think it's also inspiring because she never stopped fighting to live the life she wanted, outside that gilded cage. ❤️
@@TheGirlintheTiara Absolutely! I am glad she fought for her right to be happy and free. Thanks a lot for your comment!
@@simonebittencourt8251 You're very welcome. :)
It's not lost on me how much time you have to invest from the research, putting together high quality videos and also the editing. If a Netflix series is ever made I hope your hired as a consultant. Keep up the good work ☺️
Thank you very much! I do this purely for fun, but it's still wonderful to have the work appreciated. :)
This yt channel find is the gift of my year so far. I've always been fascinated with royal histories way back then and this is a lovely take on it.
Oh, thank you - I'm so glad you're here! Always nice to meet others who love royal history. ❤️
Louise of Belgium is now my favorite Royalty, along with Princess Diana!! Like Louise, I have no use for any of the Royals! Princess Diana and Princess Louise are my heroes!
I'm so glad you liked meeting Louise! She's unforgettable. :)
Her insurmountable courage and zest for life are inspiring. True love conquers all and your alluring narration of her eventful life's story prompted me to subscribe. Brilliant channel!
💙👏💚💐💜
As you say, this should be a movie!
Nķoókínķóoķíñg
Wow! What a fascinating story. Thanks for uploading this. We need a Netflix show of Louise's story.
Judith rants. Until we meet again
Nothing wrong with her nose just look at her father's that's a nose.
Her dad was projecting his bs, on her!
I know she was adorable. Poor bby.
@@silvacleo329 the nose was brought on by Leopold's mother, Queen Louise-Marie of Orleans, who trashtalked about her children. The reason why was that she wanted to let out her anger from the fact that her husband, Leopold i, had several affairs which became public knowledge
@@cgt3704 we will never know, what really was going on, there...
I got my dad's nose too lol
WOW!!! I have been meaning to watch this awhile ago. I am glad I finally did. I never heard of Princess Louise of Belgium before until now. Great story (and narration). I learned something new and enjoyed it . Now to read the memoir. THANK YOU for sharing and telling about Louise of Belgium. I love learning history (and about people) that weren't told about or mentioned in school.
Amazing! thank you for reviving great life stories of interesting people. Life was hard back then. Thanks to their fighting, and willing to give everything for their cause females, we have an easier life today! 🌷
I am new to your channel and love everything I have seen so far! You are 100% correct- this should be a mini-series or film. Louise was dealt a difficult card and never seemed to catch a break. My heart breaks for her and what she had to endure 💔
Your videos are first rate! A most enjoyable history lesson! Just goes to prove that an education doesn’t have to end with graduation!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed meeting Louise. What I love about education after graduation is that you can pursue it on your own terms. No one in college wanted to talk about royal women, but here, I've met hundreds of people who do. So energizing and inspiring!
Beautifully done...... Loved every part! Definitely needs to be a movie.
Lucky for me to have stumbled across your video! I love this! I never knew about Louise and your storytelling was excellent! Will be looking for more!
Oh my gosh, I loved this!! You are so very talented!! While watching.....I kept thinking YES YES! THIS WOULD BE A GREAT MOVIE!!!
Thank you for this fascinating story, that lady never gave in 💐
I can’t wait for the next upload!! I’m just rewatching the others until you get the next ready. 😄
You did a beautiful job of telling her story. Your voice is so soothing. Thank you and keep up the excellent work.
Do you have a podcast?? I have binged all of your videos in the space of 24 hours because I never realised how exciting and interesting this side of history is! Well done on creating such excellent and unique content!
I am so delighted to have tripped across your channel. I love this story!
Oh, I'm so glad you like it! Louise takes a lot of flak for being a bad mother, and I can't argue much there, but I still find her inspiring. Not many women had the courage to do what she did and follow her heart. ❤️
These stories are addicting and with covid 19 homebound, I'm going thru them like water. Keep em comin.
@The Girl in the Tiara. It's so great seeing your videos on YT as well as reading them in your blog. Brilliant stuff and thank you
Thank you so much - your comment just made my day. ❤️
I love how you edit your videos and your voice overs. You have a very soothing voice! I'm looking forward to more videos from your channel. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome - I'm so glad you're here and you like the videos! ❤️
You have a beautiful voice, and that was brilliantly told!
Thank you so much - I'm so glad you liked it! ❤️
I enjoyed this video very much! The music, the portraits, just amazing.. it was like reading a novel. Great work ❤
Thank you for remembering and bringing these Royals back to our attention.
It is nice to know about other European royals besides the Windsor!
Wow what a true love story. If she died penniless for love she is a real solid lady! This should really be a series agreed! Good job
Sorry......she died penniless because she didn't know how to budget her money and spent it all and more.
What a wonderful story and enjoyed it highly Thank you
Her story brought me to tears 😭 Thank you for sharing 💞
Excellent job! I really leaned a lot and felt like I was watching a movie, and hoping for a happy ending.
Thank you for this fascinating life story, how sad Louise was left on her own and abused by her father and her husband. 🧡🙏🧡
I'm glad you liked meeting Louise! I wish her story had a happier ending, but she definitely lived a full life - and much of it on her own terms. ❤️
Finally, I’ve been waiting!!! Thank you TGITT! 💕
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you liked meeting Louise. Now it's on to our next subject...but I'm keeping her a secret for the moment. Just have to translate a bit more German to finalize the script. Stay tuned! ;)
Can’t wait!
Hello Girl in the Tiara! Thanks for your videos on strong women from the past. You do the videos so very well! And you do the women great credit. They must all be smiling down upon you with gratitude 💖
Thank you so much - you just made my day! That's exactly what I was going for - stories told with compassion from their point of view. ❤️
You did great! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to you telling the y story of this intriguingly naughty princess!!!
Wow. Never heard of her before. Thankyou so Much for sharing this amazing womans journey!
You're very welcome - I'm so glad you enjoyed meeting Louise! :)
Very interesting video. I'm familiar with King Leopold's legacy in the Congo. Thank you for telling the story of his daughter.
You're very welcome! While I was putting this together, I kept wondering what might have turned out differently if Leopold's only son had survived. I suspect that would have made things a lot easier on Louise and her sisters...but probably wouldn't have changed much in the Congo, unfortunately.
The brutality of Leopoldo in his reign over the Congo seems to be lost to history. Most people have never heard of this slavery after most of the world had eliminated it. Amputating hands of those who failed to meet their quota of rubber.
@Blabla Bla You are a truly amoral ( worst than immoral) person to say that Leopold 11's order to cut off the hands of forced African black laborers/slaves in order to account for the rubber they harvested, was better treatment than in industries in Europe. Laborers in Europe never had their hands cut off. You are a racist.
What a wonderful story! Just subbed can’t wait to watch more - poor Louise I am glad she had known love albeit Victorian in nature. You rock Girl in the Tiara! ❤️🐨🇦🇺
Thanks for this fascinating story. I truly enjoy the timelines you provide and your personal comments, more modern of course, make me chuckle. :)
I’m so glad you were recommended to me! Your videos are so professional, fascinating, and relaxing! SUBSCRIBED 😊
Thank you - I'm so glad you're here! ❤️
I am enjoying your channel so very much. After seeing one video... The Princess in the Asylum, I must see them all. I'm on my way to lobby Netflix. They are overlooking the fascinating history of a remarkable woman, a history that's perfectly relevant to our tme. Thanks for the beautifully presented video. I've always thought historical events are interesting, and that many of us have our minds numbed to any interest by the slit-my-wrists history classes in school. You provide an antidote.
Great story and I must say you did an outstanding job relating it to your audience. Thank you😊
Thank you for sharing...
Hello Grazyna😊
You did good with name of Géza. I am Hungarian and we say the same way.
Oh, thank you - that makes me feel so much better! I looked up his full name and tried to find a native speaker on TH-cam pronouncing it, and only found one...so I was crossing my fingers it was right. :)
My daughter in law is hungarian, learned a lot from her! She always calls it her poor country!
Father of Mary and grandfather of Jesus
I enjoy all your videos, thank you so much for telling these fascinating stories!!
Thank you very much! I love finding other people who are also interested in these lesser-known but still totally fascinating royal women. So glad you're here. ❤️
I Subscribed. Yes would be a fascinating drama series on PBS or some such. Great voice for storytelling and a well put together presentation TY for taking the time to do it. 🙂
Fascinating and really sad tale. Thanks for the link to her memoir. There are many lessons to learn from her story and I intend to read it.
this is a screenplay for sure. Good work!
Your voice is so calming!
Such a lovely narration, Jenni! 🤗💪👏
Sad story but still fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you I really enjoyed this. Your voice is so calming and lovely xx you have another subscriber.
Thank you - I'm so glad you enjoyed meeting Louise! I'm still getting used to hearing the sound of my own voice so often. :P
@@TheGirlintheTiara your voice is so calming and a joy to.listen to. I love history the history you cover. Xx
@@lisashears1399 Aww, thank you so much. ❤️
Princess Thyra was pregnant one of the times she was in the “asylum.”
You said four words before I sub’d and liked. You sound so kind and it’s relaxing. Thank you!
I agree this history needs to be made into a movie .
Just found your channel! I love history too. You have a beautiful voice!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're here. :)
Found this history to be very entertaining and interesting . Thank you
You're very welcome - I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
What a great video and excellent narration. There's a movie here most definitely. Thanks for making the video.
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)
This is a fascinating story. I'm sure women in that time no matter poor or wealthy or royalty suffered in that time.you have to wonder what her life would have been had she not married what she would have become🤔. Thanks for sharing, stay safe.
Thank you for a fascinating insight into this princess.
It sounds like Louise finally found love in Geza, but that they had a bit of a polyamorous relationship. As long as everyone was happy, that’s what was important. He obviously treated her well though.
I agree! I think she and Geza had love, friendship, and mutual respect. We'll never know for sure, and that's okay, but it seems like they were secure and open-minded enough to know that a polyamorous relationship didn't have to change anything about their feelings for each other. ❤️
This is one of my favorite quarantine finds! I love your presentations!
Thank you - I'm so glad I could entertain you! Louise would probably recommend some online shopping during quarantine, but I'm glad you're here with me. :)
Stumbled upon this little jewel of a video. Excellent content and photos. GREAT!
Thank you for this video ! 😊💐
!Louise was desperate for real Love and Affection. Royals where so stiff back then than pinocchio looks like a breakdancer.
That's a great way to describe it - I love it! I'm going to smile all day thinking of Pinocchio breakdancing. 🤣
@@TheGirlintheTiara aaà
Great narration
They haven't changed much... Remember lady Diana?
Royals are stiff and false now
You are indeed a woman after my own heart! I am an American who is absolutely enthralled with European royals. My specific love is British royal history, especially Tudor history.
So nice to meet a fellow royal lover! ❤️
I agree Netflix should make a movie. Thank you for telling her story! You did a great Job telling it.
Fantastic story, very well written and put together!
Loved this story ,very interesting and loved your voice 😁
Thank you - I'm so glad you liked meeting Louise. And hearing my voice, although it drives me crazy to hear myself while editing the videos. It's all worth it if you like it! 😄
You have a beautiful crystal clear and elegant voice
Aww, thank you so much! :)
Lovely narration, thank you.
Thanks for the upload
