She did not looked very happy. I wonder about her childhood.

im not sure but i think i read here that her father said to her that she was "Ugly". If someone can confirm or deni this, thanks in advanced

[Eric_Lowe]

Really ? She looked like a carbon copy of her mother. If he said that it could be directed at his wife (a Princess of Holland).

Hi,

Adults, especially parents, who say cruel things to children should be horse-wiped...
Children often become what they are perceived to be - if you are called 'stupid' or 'ugly' then many times a child grows up to simply adhere to that premise.

I think Lovisa was attractive, certainly not ugly.  I think if she smiled more then she would have projected a more pleasant visage...
From what I've read about her, I don't know if she had a happy life.  Being a princess or a queen is not always a "bed of roses"!!

I think she seeks her comforts in religion and was named a bigot by her husband's family.

Splendid new (for me) photo Many thanks Lovisa was almost as tall as her husband

[Eric_Lowe]

Indeed ! She was not lacking in size as in grace.

Nice photo of young Lovisa. She did look like her rich but homely mother.

She looks more like Lovisa-younger, Princess of Schaumburg-Lippe.

I agree with Svetabel, Pr. Thyra is different

Poor Queen Louisa, certainly not a beauty by most standards.  She did have quite beautiful hair though.
