I love the neckline of that wedding dress so much🥺😍

Same I love it and then the little necklace she's wearing, its so cute and dainty and beautiful. And i love the lacy corset-y vibes the bodice is giving underneath it so that makes it look even more good. This has got to be one of the best wedding dresses of some time now, it's breathtaking.

I’m pretty sure these two dresses are the same. First time I saw it was on Cristiana Capotondi in Sisi (2009) and it appeared again on an extra in the second episode of The Empress, when Elisabeth arrives in Vienna.

There has also been another reused dress in The Empress (2022). This golden dress first appeared on two episodes of fairytale anthology series Sechs auf einen Streich. First on Alexandra Martini as Princess Isabella in Die Salzprinzessin and then again on Collien Ulmen-Fernandez as The Sugar Fairy in Nussknacker and Mäusekönig. The Empress used it Irene Della Casa as Baroness Francesca.

Hello😁 can you share your favorite queens?

Thank you for the great ask anon, of course! 🥰

#1: Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom – (nèe Princess Alexandra of Denmark, "Alix".

— She was beautiful, a warm and caring mother/grandmother, was popular as Princess of Wales and Queen Consort among of her people because of her good nature, and she supported many charities, including her own: "Alexandra Rose Day", founded by Queen Alexandra in 1912, this was a charity where flowers were being sold and all the money went to supporting Londoners in poverty. This was inspired by a priest in her native Denmark selling roses to raise money for those in need, Queen Alexandra brought the idea back to the United Kingdom. ❤✨

#2: Queen Anne Boleyn of England – (nèe Lady Anne Boleyn)

— She was intelligent, funny, caring and kind to all of people, and as her two years as Queen Consort she supported many charities, and even "gave alms to the poor, provided for widows, and even sewed shirts and smocks for the needy". She also helped with promoting new educational identities for monasteries, which were no longer under the protection of the Catholic Church. After only two years of being Queen Consort when she was said to have been 35 years old, she was executed after being imprisoned in the Tower of London for 17 days because she was accused of committing treason, but the true reason she was executed was because she failed to give King Henry VIII a male heir. ☹️💔

#3: Queen Marie Sophie of the Two Sicilies – (nèe Duchess Marie Sophie in Bavaria)

— She was beautiful, bright, and fierce. She was given the nickname the "Warrior Queen", the "Heroine of Gaeta" and the "modern Joan of Arc", rallying the troops, nursing the injured, feeding her forces at her own table and taunting Garibaldi's army from the battlements with the words; "Go ahead and shoot me. I will be where my men are". It was said of her that the Queen would "wipe your brow if you were wounded or hold you in her arms while you die". ❤️‍🔥👑

#4: Queen Marie Antoinette of France – (nèe Archduchess Marie Antoinette of Austria)

— She was honest, lovable, bold, a social butterfly who loved gambling, partying and extravagant fashions. Growing up she was closest with her sister, Maria Carolina, who was three years older, and with whom she had a lifelong close relationship. As Queen, Marie Antoinette was always unpopular, she spent lavishly, but her extravagance was only a minor cause of France's growing debt in the 1770-80s. Because of Louis XVI's indecisiveness, Marie played an increasingly prominent political role. But was very beloved for her charitable activities and patronage of the arts. She supported various charitable organizations and institutions, and she was also a benefactress of the poor. 💞🎀

#5: Queen Lovisa of Denmark – (nèe Lovisa of Sweden)

— She was described as intelligent, with an ability to be natural, easy and friendly. And As Queen, she was mainly known for her many charity projects, an interest that she shared with her spouse. She did not care for ceremonial duties and public events, and lived a discreet life dedicated to her children and her interests in art, literature and charity. After a short tenure of only six years as Queen, she was widowed in 1912.

#6: Queen Alexandrine of Denmark – (nèe Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin)

— She was reticent by nature. Her childhood was characterised by regular sporting activities, and from a young age she played the piano to a high standard. Her great interest in music stayed with her for her entire life and was passed on to her equally musical eldest son, Prince Frederik (IX). As of her first years as Queen, she had difficulty getting used to public attention, and she preferred to avoid the media limelight, but performed her functions in an exemplary manner. In the home her presence was crucial for the two boys, since Christian X was known for surrounding himself with a certain atmosphere of the barracks. Queen Alexandrine undertook extensive charity work until her death and was an avid golf player and photographer, who also loved doing needlework to a high standard. 💫

#7: Queen Margherita of Italy – (nèe Margherita of Savoy)

— She was described as sensitive, proud and with a strong force of will without being hard, as well as having the ability to be charming when she chose to. As to her appearance, she was described as a tall, stately blonde, but she was not regarded as a beauty. As Queen, she worked to protect the monarchy against republicans and socialists, and she gathered a circle of conservative intellectuals and artists known as the "Circolo della Regina" (Circle of the Queen) in her famous literary salon known as "Giovedì Della Regina" (Queen's Thursdays), where she benefited artists and writers.

#8: Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain – (nèe Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg), "Ena".

— She was described as very kind but very strict and she devoted herself to work for hospitals and services for the poor, as well as to education. She also involved herself in the reorganization of the Spanish Red Cross. In 1929, the city of Barcelona erected a statue of her in a nurse's uniform in honour of her Red Cross work and since the the statue has been destroyed.

#9: Queen Elena of Italy – (nèe Elena of Montenegro)

— She was described as shy and reserved but also rather stubborn. Very attached to traditions, with a sensitive soul and a lively and curious mind, she was endowed with a strong love for nature: her favourite flower was the Cyclamen. She was a very tall woman of 180 cm (5'11). As Queen, her commitment to numerous charitable and welfare initiatives, which assured her great sympathy and popularity, was profuse. The Queen went well beyond mere charity: her evangelical spirit led her to practice every day the most genuine and most charitable love of neighbor.

#10: Queen Marie of Romania – (nèe Princess Marie of Edinburgh), "Missy".

— She was described as very beautiful and high spirited. As a young girl, Marie was very close with her sisters, but mostly her sister Victoria Melita, they played many games with their father and Marie's mother, the Duchess of Edinburgh neglected Marie and her sisters' education, considering them not very bright or gifted. But in the fields of painting and drawing, Marie and her sisters had inherited her grandmother, Queen Victoria's talent. On October 11th, 1914, Marie and her husband Ferdinand were acclaimed as king and Queen in the Chamber of Deputies. Princess Anne Marie Callimachi, a close friend of Marie, wrote that "as Crown Princess, she had been popular; as Queen, she was more loved". Marie maintained a certain influence on her husband and the entire court, leading historian A. L. Easterman to write that "it was not Ferdinand, but Marie who ruled in Romania".

Prince Ludwig and Princess Sophie-Alexandra of Bavaria arrive at Nymphenburg Palace for their wedding reception | May 20th, 2023

TIARA ALERT: Sophie Alexandra Evekink wore the Bavarian Sapphire Floral Tiara for her wedding to Prince Ludwig of Bavaria at the Theatine Church in Munich, Germany on 20 May 2023.

[thepaleys]

The Grand Duke Serge and his wife Elisabeth (Ella) Fyodorovna, a sister of Empress Alexandra, went to Italy to talk to Paul, inform him of the tsar's decisions, and discuss the future of Maria and Dimitry. Their meeting in Rome was bitter, brief, and of course, useless. The question that still remained open was whether the marriage could be recognized as legal or not. On ecclesiastical grounds, there was no doubt of the marriage's legality since Olga's divorce had been approved by the Orthodox Church and Paul was a widower. But before Russian law, things could be quite different since the statutes of the imperial family clearly stated that morganatic marriages were forbidden and that no marriage contracted without the permission of the tsar would be considered real.

Legally married or not, Paul and Olga were forbidden to return to Russia, and they settled in Paris, where their son Vladimir spent what were probably the happiest years of his short life. (...) Vladimir Paley loved that house very much and in his last years remembered it with deep nostalgia and affection in several poems, such as Hyacinths and Lilac Flowers. During Paul and Olga's exile, their residence became an "annex" of the Russian imperial embassy in Paris. They offered dinners and receptions in grand style; but they didn't live merely to entertain aristocrats, diplomats and holidaying Russians. The former Madame von Pistolkors (nobody was sure what she should be called now) was an avid reader and had a remarkable inclination towards arts and literature. Paul, even if he was far from being the intellectual type, shared some of his wife's interests, and soon their salon became a meeting point for many writers, painters, musicians and artists. (...)

During the summer of 1903, Paul, Olga and Vladimir went to Schlangenbad, Bavaria, to spend a vacation with the three von Pistolkors children and their grandmother Madame Karnovich. For the grand duke's wife, the occasion must have been deeply remarkable since she hadn't been able to see Alexander, Olga and Marianna for almost a year. That same summer, Paul also had the chance to enjoy a short and moving meeting with Maria and Dimitry in Tegernsee, Bavaria, in the villa of his sister Maria Alexandrovna, Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. He also saw his brother Serge, who came from Russia with the children, but their conversation ended in a harsh argument.
