Plus, I think, if anything, this quarrel is insulting to the memory of the Luxemburg  Princesses, let's keep our eye on the ball OK everyone?

Well, said cimbrio! There's a question I have been wanting to ask: were Marie-Adelaide, Charlotte and their sisters styled 'HRH' as daughters of the Grand Duke, or was it 'Grand Ducal Highness'?

Sorry, I´m coming in late into this quarrel and I don´t want to continue it, but I agree with you Cimbrio. We are active on this board in order to share info. Some of us have read more books in different languages than others. Some of us have known royalties, some of us are related to them. But we all share the fact that we have started from a tiny beginning. And yes, Sophie died by a traffic accident in Munich. If you are interested in the royal house of Saxony, the margraves of Meissen, please don´t  hesitate to ask me. May I also humbly refer to my few lines under the thread Hohenzollern "German Catholic Royal Families".

Thank you very much. I´m sorry but I´m a bit confused over the contributions about the catholic branch of the house of Wettin, margraves of Meissen. The contributions are spread in different threads all over the message board. Now I see that someone has started a new thread over the queens of Saxony. Why put it under the heading "Hohenzollern"? Why not put it under a new heading e g "Other German Royal Families".
It would suit an old librarian like me better, although I´m able to use your search engine.

Whether or not to create a new board is the decision of the Forum Admin, Wettin - these boards need moderators and such. In fact, this BeNeLux and the French boards are less than a month old - the Admin could not create them until cimbrio, grandduchessella and I volunteered to moderate them . . . you see what I mean?

So, for the sake of convenience, threads relating to the Houses of Saxony, Prussia, German Empire, Habsburg and other German houses are put in the Hohenzollern section.

Does anyone know about their lives?  Their personalities, likes and dislikes, stuff like that?  Also, does anyone have any pictures besides the ones on worldroots?  I've seen those a zillion times.

I have read the memoires of Irmingard of Bavaria, Antonia´s daughter and niece of Marie Adelaide, Charlotte, Hilda, Elisabeth, Sophie. Irmingard e.g. wrote that Hilda had inherited the "Braganza temperament" and thus got angry quickly. I.´s mother and her aunt Sophie looked very much alike and once, at carnival, both sisters went as clowns. They looked exactly alike (the pic is in the book, but I don´t have a scanner >:(. Maybe somebody else has it?) and Irmingard wrote, that she had nightmares after this "double-mama-event". If you like, I could write more  :).
Some pics I hope you haven´t seen yet:
Antonia

Thank you for the pictures, Linnea!  The Luxembourg princesses were all so lovely, I think.

Thanks Linnea!  I had never heard the clown story before. :)

And I agree with Lanie, they were very pretty.

I think they were very pretty too, especially Sophie, probably their darker features was a nice break from the blond, blue-eyed princesses that plaued Europe :D

I'm off to England for 10 days and shan't be able to be on till I come back home. Take care y'all and don't get into any problems :) Anything you need, ask Prince_LIeven, who I'm sure will be happy to help :) Bye people! :-*

Question: Which one of those lovely princesses do you like best?
My personal favourite is Antonia. She was a easy-going person, a sportswoman (loved skiing) and was a brilliant mother.

I would like to pick a favourite of the sisters, but I don't know enough about their different personalities - Marie Adelaide is the only one I know any personal information about . . .
