Freedom for ever...

Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary with his wife, Empress Elisabeth "Sissi" and their two eldest children, Archduchess Gisela and Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria

Crown Princess Marie of Romania c.1898 by Kaulbach

Maximilien, duc en Bavière.. Artiste, fantasque et volage, Sissi avait peut-être une relation plus compliquée avec lui que l'image idéalisée montrée notamment par Ernst Mariska..

Archduchess Gisela of Austria

King George V, Queen Mary, Queen Alexandra, her sister Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna and Princess Victoria after the wedding of Lady Victoria Constance Mary Cambridge (1897–1987), niece of the Queen, and Henry Somerset, Marquis of Worcester (later 10th Duke of Beaufort, 1900-1984) at St. Margaret’s Chruch, Westminster.

Archduchess Margarethe Klementine Maria of Austria (6 July 1870, Alcsút, Austria-Hungary– 2 May 1955, Regensburg) was a member of the Hungarian line of the House of Habsburg and an Archduchess of Austria by birth. Through her marriage to Albert, 8th Prince of Thurn and Taxis, Margarethe Klementine was also a member of the House of Thurn and Taxis.
