I've always had a lot of admiration, respect and empathy for her.<br />Just one remark: Statement that Sophie "warned that Elisabeth was too young, too liberal and too immature" is wrong. Archduchess preferred Helene as she was maturer and educated but she was not dissapointed or annoyed by choice of her son. She was suprised but quickly accepted Elisabeth as her daughter-in-law and as an Empress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971311771534964774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-22953951249587813312019-05-27T08:07:35.268-05:002019-05-27T08:07:35.268-05:00The 2009 version of Sissi has a more favorable vie...The 2009 version of Sissi has a more favorable view of Sophie. I can see she was a strong woman and dedicated to her children and her country. I would like to see a movie I think series on Karl and Zita also. I was never certain Franz Josef and Elizabeth's marriage was a happy one. I would hope it was at least somewhat like the mini series. The acceptance of the crown in Mexico by Maxamilian is shown in a different light also. I did read about his death and it seemed he wasn't the monster potrayed in history books.Monarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07881640426005544248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-35739066719541868762019-01-06T08:18:08.357-06:002019-01-06T08:18:08.357-06:00Great work!
