Schleswig-Holstein wars
Zanthia:
She did indeed. When she became empress, it was forbidden to speak german in her home. Alix and Minny often mentioned Berlin as "that robber's nest", in their letters to each other.
Their father was also very sensitive about the subject. Once, when he had to travel by train through his old dukedoms, he ordered the curtains drawned all the way.

Thank you very much! ;)
The book of Coryne Hall "Little Mother of Russia" is coming to Spain...and I hope it will be in my hands the next week, so I´m sure I will increase my knowledge about the life and times of Minnie. But all that you relates here is a source of information and pleasure for me.

Minnie was an interesting figure. But Spain also get interesting dowagers like Maria Cristina, and fasinating figures like La Chata, Ena and Baby Bee...All in Spanish too. ;D

Isabel, La Chata, was very loved at her time, in the same way that her cousin and later sister-in-law queen Mercedes. I always think that the dowager queen Maria Cristina was respected, but not very loved at her time... Ena, my poor Ena, was tragic.
