It is all very sad, how Dona treated Vicky, since it was Fritz & Vicky who were good friends of her father, who thought she would be a good wife for Willie, and perhaps help him in some ways. They did a great deal to make the marriage possible, as wasn't the old Emperor & Bismarck, against the marraige?? Look at how Willy behaved after Fritz died, and after Vicky died.
Shameful, and not to mention the hell he gave his mother while she was alive. I think Dona had to compete in arena in which she had no confidence, fashion, intelligence, allure, court functions, and to add the influence of Fritz's mother, the Empress Augusta.
I have always admired Vicky, so much, for her intelligence, and her heart. She is one of my favorites. She is another one I would have loved to know and spend time with. Such brilliance, and too bad she had no influence with her son, to think how different the world could have been if she did.
