I found some more info on the Queen of Hearts.
Apprently, Elizabeth had what Plowden describes as a 'casual' attitude towards her children . . . perhaps someone can elaborate on this??
Henriette Maria, who died young, was the beauty of the family apprently.
Elizabeth was godmother to Prince William II of Orange, who later married her niece Mary Henrietta, Princess Royal. This was to help soothe the awkward social situation in the Hague - the Princess of Orange, Amalia van Solms-Braunfels, had been lady-in-waiting to Elizabeth in the Palatinate!
Elizabeth and Frederick were deeply affected by the death of their eldest son Frederick Henry, who was a lively and attractive boy who ironically reminded Elizabeth of her late brother, Henry, Prince of Wales.
When Frederick died in 1632, it fell to a family physician, Dr Christian Rumph, to inform his 36 year old widow.
Though Dr Rumph told it me very discreetly, wrote Elizabeth, It was the first time that I was ever frightened.
Charles, her brother, was now King of England and offered her a home there, but Elizabeth refused - she new that eventually, she would have to fight for Charles Louis's rights to the Palatinate.
She was a truly amazing woman, almost universally well-beloved. Yes, she still called herself Queen of Bohemia till death, and her allies styled her 'Her Majesty' and referred to her as the Queen.
