i wonder how can anyone love such a creature???i can't imagine such thing

Laura

Yes, a subject  for psycho-analysis  .

love in those days, especially between royals and nobles was different. maybe george saw her and thought she was beautiful (many did, but that's beyond me) and thought himself in love. think about the fact that they lived in different countries, they probably saw each other once a year or something. he didn't have time to know her before marrying her

Elisabetta had that kind of sad beauty that George loved. In fact he had asked her to marry her many times, until she finally said yes.

Unfortunate, isn't it? To want something so badly and finally get it only to have it be exactly the opposite of what you hoped for--namely a happy marriage to a person who loved you. Poor man.

well he wasn't a great man either...but he was better than her

Elisabetta did try to be a "good" wife for awhile, but George was away at war so much. The family ( immediate one)was not friendly either, they lapse into Greek whenever she tried to join in their conversation.

I always have a good laugh looking at Elisabetta in this picture!! Funny hat and glare!! Marie, Ileana and Mignon looks like pretty nice calm creatures..but Elisabetta..as a bird of prey  emerging from its eyrie!

[ilyala]

how anyone can say that elisabeta looks better than mignon is beyond me. look how pretty mignon is!

Laura

I think Ileana was the most well rounded beauty of Missy's three daughters.
