The Royals Abroad

Although the exhibition includes "Mad"King Ludwig II, Emperors Franz Josef I & Napoleon III (with his mother Queen Hortense de Beauharnais) Queen Astrid and The British Royals I highlighted The Empress Elizabeth, affectionately called "Sissi" by practically everyone. The wife of Franz Josef I, mother of Crown Prince Rudolf (think Mayerling Affair), beautiful and intelligent- she met untimely death on the embankment of Lake Geneva ( cannot BELIEVE I was like 100 yards away from the place last year ... and missed it 😪😡) from being stabbed by an Italian anarchist

Yeah, and that file can rival Booth's Derringer

I strongly recommend the Netfix series "Die Kaizerin" and, of course, there is 1968 "Mayerling" with Omar Sharif, Catherine Deneuve, James Mason and Ava Gardner as SissiRead more
