What a charming woman and, obviously very intelligent. Looking at her portraits, I got lost once more in the beautiful fabric of her gowns. I love to wander the art museums and study not only the people in the paintings but their beautiful clothing. I would love to touch those amazing fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh I know what you mean, the detail is exquisite.
DeleteFirst, I find it interesting that the court spoke German. Then, I find it interesting that Louise taught her children native language. Did they also speak German and English? I also like the point that here is another man that was popular because of his wife... LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine they spoke German and English too; I also love the fact that she was such a major factor in her husband's popularity!
DeleteI imagine that she would have been educated to speak French as well.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, certainly.
