#tho the only thing I've read about Luitpold's relantionship with any of his cousin's it's that Elisabeth blamed him for Ludwig II's death

In the evening of January 8, 1859, Maria Sophia Amalia, Duchess in Bavaria, was solemnly wedded to Francis Maria Leopold, Duke of Calabria and Crown Prince of the Two Sicilies. King Maximilian of Bavaria and his Queen conducted the bride to the altar, and there were also present all the princes and princesses of the royal house, the whole of the diplomatic corps, the royal household, and the highest officers of state.

The King's brother, Prince Luitpold —the present Prince-Regent of Bavaria— represented the absent bridegroom. Like the King, he was on the most friendly terms with the ducal house, and was looked upon almost as a brother by the Wittelsbach brothers and sisters at Possenhofen. After the preliminary marriage there was an evening court, held by the King and Queen. Outside the windows stood a throng of the lighthearted citizens of Munich; and every time the young bride showed herself in all her fresh beauty she was greeted by renewed acclamations.
