I´m interested in the seventh Prince of Thurn and Taxis. I know that he died very young and was the favourite child of his mother Helene. Has anyone more information and pictures? Thanks.  ;D

Maximilian has always been in bad health. He died because of a disease of his lungs on 2 June 1885 in Regensburg.

BTW: I think he was the most adorable royal of all times ...

Yes...Franz Josef's yougest brother Ludwig Victor was also "Bubi" as was Alfonso XIII.  ;D


Duke Carl Theodor's younger son Franz Joseph (1888-1912) was also nicknamed Bubi. This name seemed to be very popular.  ;)
It comes from the German word "Bub" which means "boy" - and little boys are simply called "Bubi".

I read somewhere he said begged the doctors to save him as he wanted to live. It was in the Thurn & Taxis's book in German. Will try to find the exact quote.  ::)

You can find some information on Maximilian in the following German books:

- Das Fürstliche Haus Thurn und Taxis. 300 Jahre Geschichte in Bildern by Martha Schad and Martin Dallmeier

- Zwei Bräute für einen Kaiser by Sigrid Maria Größing (but I think Größing belongs the worst authors on earth)

Hello!

Anyone has portraits of Maria Theresia von Thurn und Taxis, daughter of prince Karl Alexander von Thurn und Taxis and his wife, born princess Theresa Mathilde Amalia of Mecklemburg-Strelitz? Maria Theresia married Paul Esterhàzy, who was for a time austrian ambassador at Saint James Court.

By the way, I´m also interested on Theresa Mathilda, Maria Theresia´s mother. She was a niece of Queen Charlotte of England, and a sister of unforgettable queen Louise of Prussia. I just now that she had an affair with a count Maximilian of Lerchenfeld, and they had an out-of-wedlock beautiful daughter, Amalie von Krüdener Adlerberg, painted by Joseph Stieler...

Thanks in advance for more info and portraits!

 I find Mathilde Therese not very beautiful...if I compare her to her sister Louise. I never have seen portraits of Charlotte or Frederika, the other sisters. Amalie or Amélie was a real beauty, and also queen Theresa of Bavaria...

Have you any picture of Maria Theresia, the daughter of Mathilde Therese by her husband Karl Alexander?

I agree with you ... Therese wasn't a real beauty. But in those days she was considered to be on of the most beautiful princesses in whole Europe. A lot of noble men admired her and she also had many intimate relationships to different men.

I'm sorry but I don't have any picture of her daughter Maria Theresia.  :(

Don´t worry!

By the way, MarieCharlotte...you have post that Therese had "many intimate relationships to different men". Can you provide me more info about it? I thought that she was faithful to her husband...with the exception of count von Lerchenfeld, of course!
