I just realized that Friedrich Leopold looks a lot like Albert von Thurn un Taxis, in special  when older!!!

At the moment I read a biography about Margarethe Krupp (born as Freiin von Ende) and there are some Infos of the family of Luise Margaretes mother.





Margarethe von Ende worked before her marriage to Friedrich Alfred Krupp as a gouverness in England and at the court of Anhalt.
She was governess to Princess Alexandra of Anhalt and had livelong contact with the princess and her mother Duchess Antoinette.
The biography was written by Margarethe Krupps grand-grand-child Diana Maria Friz, who had access to the Family Archiv.

At the time when Margarethe Krupp was at the Anhalt court, a sister-in-law to Duchess Antoinette came to stay with the family.
The Duchess told Margarethe about the sad life of the princess, who was unhappy married and mother of five children.
Also the Duchess had to explain the governess that person she could take care of was lesbian.
Margarethe felt sorry for the princess and had sympathy with her.
But when they meet, they liked each other and shared a live long friendship and correspondence.


There is no name mentioned, but it can be only Maria Anna von Anhalt-Dessau (1837-1906),
she was the only sister of the Duke Friedrich I. who was unhappiely married and the only one with five children.


The Krupp Family Archive in Essen still holds the correspondence of the Anhalt court and the Krupps.
And also the correspondence with other royals.

I wonder if she knew Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein who married into the Anhalt family. That marriage was actually anulled by the courts in Anhalt. Wonder if the book touch upon that subject. Thanks.

 Margarethe was governess to Prss Alexandra but took care of that sister-in-law, who was more probably Marianne? So, she was  a sort of a spy-friend of a Princess?

As I wrote Margarethe was also a friend and took care of Maria Anna as a guest of the house, because Antoinette disliked her in-law and wouldn't spent much time with her.
She didn't took care of her as a patient or as a governess.

I've read some more in the book and this time Maria Anna is mentioned as Maria Anna von Preußen. So I was right.

Does this mean that Princess Maria Anna von Preussen was lesbian?

That's what Duchess Antoinette von Anhalt told Margarethe Krupp.

but Margarethe was only taking care of Princess Alexandra and not Maria Anna as well ! Why did Antoinette say to Margarethe that "the one you took care of" was a lesbian ?

Antoinette had to explain to Margarethe why Maria Anna was so unhappy.
Margarethe was in her early 20's (she married Fritz Krupp with 28) and had no clue about sex, let alone homosexuality.
The Duchess wanted to prepare Margarethe for the unwanted guest, so she doesn't wonder if Maria Anna behaved or say anything unusual.
Maria Anna was known in the family for her "schlüpfrige Geschichten".
