kmerov:
Just wanted to start a thread that talks about the parents of the bunch...
Now that whas a couple who loved each other!
"Thank you for the dance of life".

kmerov:
"I think a very interesting and clever woman indeed and of course ambitious for her children to do well as any mother would be."    

Just moved it over here to put my thread to some use ;D

Yes she was, and i know what you mean with obscure! :)
For herself she didnt seem to have much ambition, other than being the guardian of the home and family, which was the motto she followed through her life.

Mgmstl:
I think there were so many things to like & admire about Louise & Christian, and their family.

I remember reading that she was present when Olga N. was born and helped AF through the labor, and the child was born in her bedroom, to honor her, by the parents.

Some of the letters of Queen Louise to Minnie are interesting, it seems she liked AF, at least that is the impression I got, and did not completely understand Minnie's problems with her.  

Their life was a long full one, and I do wish there was a good biography on her.

kmerov:
I didnt know that about Olga N.
There are some good books about Louise and Christian combined in danish, but little does that help if you arent danish!
I got the quote " thank you for the dance of life" from a resent one.

Eurohistory:
Hans Roger Madol's biography of King Christian IX goes into great detail about how the couple met and how they founded their family in Copenhagen...quite a nice book to read actually.
