In a moving series of articles, Elena Maria Vidal reviews a trilogy of films, starring Romy Schneider, and offering a rather idealized, but, nevertheless, touching portrayal of the marriage of Franz Joseph of Austria and his beautiful, tragic empress, Elisabeth of Bavaria.
As discussed here before, the legendary
Elisabeth was the paternal aunt, godmother and namesake of
the third Queen of the Belgians; she was also the sister-in-law of Princess Charlotte and the mother-in-law of
Princess Stéphanie of Belgium.
