“Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh and Duchess Louise Margaret of Connaught have some similarities; both married princes who were far from inheriting the crown and arrived unpretentiously. However, their efforts and dedication to the British monarchy were exceptional, and they stood out for winning not only the respect of their husbands, but also the affection of their illustrious mothers-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria.” - Text & Image Submitted by cenacevedo15

Catherine the Great

Catherine II of Russia (Catherine the Great) was empress regent of Russia from 1762-1796. She was born in Prussia to Prince Christian August of Anhalt-Zerbst (1690-1747) and Princess Johanna Elisabeth of Holstein-Gottorp (1712-1760), and although her family was noble, they were not wealthy. She married the future Russian Tsar, Peter of Holstein-Gottorp (1728-1762), in 1745 in St. Petersburg.

Peter was crowned Emperor Peter III of Russia in 1762, with Catherine becoming empress consort. However, Peter and Catherine's marriage and joint reign were not happy, and Catherine grew to hate all that Peter stood for. It was not long before Catherine began seeking support elsewhere and sought to overthrow Peter. With the Russian army's and her supporters' help, Peter was arrested and forced to sign an abdication form. He was assassinated a short time after, paving the way for Catherine to become the sole ruler of Russia.

Catherine was formally crowned empress regent on 22 September 1762, as Catherine II of Russia. During her lengthy reign, she transformed Russia's education system, the arts and the Russian economy and ushered in the age of the Russian Enlightenment.

Early Life

Catherine was born Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst-Dornburg on 2 May 1729 in Stettin, Prussia (modern-day Szczecin, Poland), to Christian August, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst and Princess Johanna Elisabeth of Holstein-Gottorp. She had two younger brothers and a younger sister. One of her younger brothers, Wilhem Christian, died at 12 from scarlet fever. Catherine was said to have had a closer relationship with her father than her mother.

Although they did not have much money, Catherine was educated by French tutors and a French governess, as was befitting a child of noble birth. Her governess, Elizabeth (Babet) Cardel, greatly influenced her, with Catherine referring to Elizabeth as the kind of governess that every child should have. Catherine was a happy child with a lot of energy. She played games with the local children and enjoyed taking command. Her childhood was relatively uneventful, with Catherine stating there was "nothing of interest in it."

Princess Sophie of Prussia || Alessandra Rich

[archduchessofnowhere]

Do you wonder how different things would’ve been if Franz Joseph I was allowed by his mother to marry Archduchess Elisabeth of Austria (Alfonso XIII’s grandmother)?

Perhaps they would’ve had a son together who would’ve ruled after his father instead of Archduke Charles becoming becoming Karl I and maybe he could’ve even saved the monarchy from dissolving.

Hello! To be fair, there isn't really any evidence that Sophie didn't allow her son to marry Archduchess Elisabeth. Nor evidence of Franz Josef even being interested in her to begin with. The only woman we know for certain he tried to marry before meeting Sisi is Princess Anna of Prussia, who was entirely his choice. Despite what is usually portrayed in media, FJ was just never going to marry a woman he didn't like.

Personally I think Archduchess Elisabeth was simply never an option because she was a widow with a daughter, something no empress of Austria had ever been. That being said, let's assume she did marry FJ: I think the biggest difference would've been that there probably would've been a spare, as Elisabeth had six children with her second husband (of course, a different husband does changes everything). Could this hypothetical son(s) be able to keep the empire together? I don't know, it's not like Karl I's problem was that he wasn't the previous emperor's son. Archduchess Elisabeth may have also been a more conventional empress than Sisi, but I doubt this would've impacted much in the grand scheme of things.

Btw, fun fact about Sisi and Archduchess Elisabeth: they got pregnant around the same time twice, and both times Elisabeth had sons. Sisi seems to have felt pressured by this to also have sons, although she ended up "only" having daughters. Archduchess Sophie even commented this on a letter to one of her sons:

I recently asked Franzi, when he told me of Elisabeth's delivery [of a son], to prepare himself for a girl, and to prepare Sisi, of whom he told me that she was certainly expecting a son, properly for this.

Sophie was right in trying to lower the parent's expectations: about a month later, Sisi gave birth to Gisela.

Thank you for your question!

"Three children were born after me, Waldemar, Sophie and Margaret. Sophie is now Queen Sophia of Greece. She was always dignified and queenly, and I quite well remember how one of our first nurses used to say: “Mark my words, Sophie will be a queen one day.” Margaret, who is six years younger than myself, is the present Landgrafin of Hesse. remember the day when she was born and lying in her cradle -I wanted to take her into my bed.

My mother, with her many children, was always active and very busy. She was essentially a womanly woman, and was wholly devoted to her family. Her day began at seven. Every morning at that hour whether at the Palace in Berlin or at Potsdam, Sophie, Margaret and myself went to our parents’ rooms whilst they were having their cup of tea and toast in bed. Sometimes, seated on their bed, we used to entertain them with little rhymes we had learnt, one I remember being “John Gilpin”. My parents began their official duties before eight o’clock in the morning, and, as can well be imagined, my mother, as wife of a Crown Prince who afterwards became Emperor, had the day crowded with work of a formal and important character. But she never neglected her children. Every moment that she could spare away from the various duties which devolved upon her was spent with us. She carefully supervised and watched our upbringing both in the nursery and in the schoolroom. My mother being English, it was natural that our first nurse should be an Englishwoman. She was Mrs. (Georgina) Hobbs, who first went to Germany as a maid to my mother when she married. Afterwards she became chief nurse. She was a jolly buxom woman, and we were all very fond of her. Hobby, or Hobbsy, as she was called, taught us English, and our nurseries, I was told later, were arranged in English fashion, and modelled on the nurseries of Queen Victoria. Then we reached the years when lessons had to start, our days were very full. Lessons would begin at eight o'clock. At nine we all breakfasted together with our parents. The rest of the day would be portioned out, chiefly in lessons, or in exercise of one kind or another. According to the time of the year we had skating, swimming, or rowing; in addition to riding, gymnastics, dancing and tennis. We had a great many different teachers, all of course most carefully chosen, for both my parents were intent on giving us a very thorough education and spared no pains in getting us the best tuition possible.

My favourite governess was a Miss Byneg. I was greatly attached to her, and she was like a second mother to me, very kind and patient. I was a difficult pupil, far more interested in outdoor life and sport of every kind than in study. We were a natural jolly crowd of children, brought up simply but carefully, and our governesses and masters became our friends. We gave them pet names or nicknames, and they took it allin good part, and, I think, rather liked it. Miss Byng was “Minnie” to us. She petted me a great deal, and used to call me “Birdie”, and names of that kind. Our German foverness, Fratilein Poppe — soon known, of course, as Poppy — was great fun. We all got on very well with her. When lessons were finished and we went out riding with our riding master, Fraulein Poppe would usually accompany us. She was very musical and fond of singing. She it was who gave me my first singing lessons, teaching me delightful German nursery songs among others. I used to love “Als unser Mops ein Mépschen war, da konnt, er lustig sein” and “Und bald gras, ich am Neckar, bald gras, ich am Rhein.” My brother Henry, a few years older than myself, used to come along to the schoolroom and join us in our singing lessons. They were some of the most enjoyable lessons we had. “Aile Végel sind schon da, aile Vogel aile” and “Bienchen sum, sum, herum” were great favourites with us all".

Princess Victoria Luise of Prussia

Sophie Koner

Sophie Koner, née Schäffer (13 July 1855, London - 1 June 1929, Berlin) was a German portrait painter.

Her first painting lessons were in Paris, with Carolus-Duran. Back in Berlin, she took lessons from Max Koner, who was very popular in high society as a portrait painter. She eventually became his private student. They were married in 1886.

They painted several portraits of each other. Encouraged by Max, she exhibited one of him at the Academy of Arts in 1888. Between 1893 and 1920, she participated in numerous exhibitions there. In 1896, she was awarded a gold medal at the Große Berliner Kunstausstellung.

By the 1890s, Max was receiving so many commissions for portraits that she became discreetly employed in finishing them; adding some of the clothing and backgrounds. Following his sudden death at the age of forty-six, she began to specialize in portraits of children, to express her own personal talents. She was adept at entertaining small children while they were posing, so that even large families could be portrayed with little fuss. Her work also includes a handful of landscapes.

She died at the age of seventy-three, and was interred next to Max at the Friedhöfe vor dem Halleschen Tor [de] in the Kreuzberg district. Neither grave has been preserved.
