From that angle, she looks a little bit like Marie Adelheid, doesn't she?

I don't think she was ahead of her time in a good way.  Eating disorders are not a good thing.

The Hohenzollern / Re: Victoria Louise, Duchess of Brunswick Part II

Victoria Luise was really close to her younger brother. The suicidde of Joachim in 1921 had to mark her deeply.

Joachim was actually 2 years older than Viktoria.

The Wittlesbachs / Re: Helene of Thurn und Taxis (Duchess in Bavaria)

Well, you have to remember that photography did not come into wide use unti the 1860s.  Helene was born in 1834, making photographs of her as a child up to her early twenties would be extremely rare, if they even exist.
