Portraits of Princess Stephanie
Stephanie (1864-1945), born Princess of Belgium, as Crown Princess of Austria-Hungary. Another painting of Stephanie. A painting of Stephanie and her husband, Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary, on a walk in the countryside.
Yes, I can't understand why her mother-in-law, Sissi, was so mean about her looks- apparently she called her a "moral heavyweight," an "elephant," and criticized her "yellow hair."
Don't be too hard on Sissi, her mother-n-law treated her even worse. Maybe Sissi was just venting on Stephanie. Sissi was wrong though. Stephanie was a beauty, & from what I've read a real sweetheart as well.
The love of one's neighbors, the sense of duty, truth, and justice, if applied to daily life, would spare mankind countless sufferings, troubles, and anxieties ...
The solution of the problems which oppress the world can only be found in the practice of Charity between individuals and between nations.

Yes, Sissi had a lot to deal with.
