Propaganda for Karl VI:
His dedication and obsession with Spain is so funny to me, okay?? He never let go of it, to the point of dressing like a stereotypical Spanish monarch out of spite. We stan a petty emperor 🥰
He was most likely bisexual, having many close relationships with other men throughout his life. His closest relationship being with his groom of the bedchamber Count Althann, whome he often slept in the same bed with, and whom he referred to on Althann's death as his "only heart" and said they were "one heart and one soul." Althann was even described as the Emperor's favorite, and he had a lot of sway over the court because of this close relationship. After Althann's death, Karl VI even made sure his kids and wife were taken care of and supported.
Not only was he a girldad, but he also loved his wife!! They shared the same bedchamber which was unusual for the time for most similar monarchs. Their marriage was described by an observer as "one of the happiest marriages in the world."
Him and his history often gets overlooked due to all the extremely important figures around him at the same time(i.e. Eugene of Savoy and Maria Theresa) and I think he deserves more attention :/

An engraving of the queens of France that were married to Bourbon kings. From top to bottom there’s Marie de' Medici, Anne of Austria, Maria Theresa of Spain, Marie Leszczyńska, Marie Antoinette, Marie Josephine of Savoy and Maria Theresa of France. Margaret of Valois, Henry IV’s first wife, is omitted, likely due to the fact that her marriage to Henry was annulled about a year after he acceded to the throne.

Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1691 – 1750)  
She was renowned for her delicate beauty and also for being the mother of Empress Maria Theresa. She was the longest serving Holy Roman Empress.  Elisabeth Christine was the eldest daughter of Louis Rudolph, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and his wife Princess Christine Louise of Oettingen-Oettingen. At age 13 Elisabeth Christine became engaged to the future Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, through negotiations between her ambitious grandfather, Anthony Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and Charles' sister-in-law, Empress Wilhelmina Amalia. However, the Lutheran Protestant bride opposed the marriage at first, since it involved her switching to Roman Catholicism, but finally she gave in. She was tutored in Catholicism by her mother-in-law, who introduced her to the Marian cult and made a pilgrimage with her to Mariazell in 1706. Prior to the wedding, she was forced to undergo a medical examination to prove her fertility by a doctor and the Jesuit confessor of Charles.
Aged sixteen at the time of her marriage, Elisabeth Christine was considered to be one of the most beautiful and learned noblewomen in Europe. Contemporary accounts pay particular attention to her pale complexion, blue eyes and magnificent blonde hair, which earned her the epithet of ‘Weisse Liesl’ (White Lizzy) in Vienna. Her admirers were particularly impressed by the allegedly perfect form of her hands and arms. At the time of the wedding, Charles was fighting for his claim to the Spanish throne against the French candidate Philip of Anjou, so he was living in Barcelona. Elisabeth Christine arrived in Spain in July 1708 and married Charles on 1 August in the church of Santa María del Mar, Barcelona. 
Tumblr media
As Philip had already fathered a son, Elisabeth Christine was immediately pressured to produce a son. During her time in Spain, she had a long-term correspondence with her mother, which was reportedly a consolation for the continuous pressure to produce a son. In 1711, Charles left for Vienna to succeed as Holy Roman Emperor. He left Elisabeth Christine behind in Spain, appointing her as General Governor of Catalonia in his absence. She ruled Catalonia alone until 1713, when the war ended with Philip V recognized by all of Austria's allies. Her official role as regent had been to sustain the morale of Charles' Catalan subjects, but Martino claimed that she actually governed more effectively than Charles had during his Spanish reign. She then joined her husband in Austria.
Charles VI did not allow her any political influence what so ever after her arrival in Austria in 1713. However, she was described as intelligent and self-sufficient, and she established political connections among the ministers, especially Starhemberg, and she took some initiative to engage in politics on her own. In the 1720s, she appeared to have had some influence in the treaty with the Russian Tsar through her family connections in Northern Germany, and she allied herself with the court faction which opposed the plans to marry her daughters to members of the Spanish royal house.
Tumblr media
Elisabeth Christine’s position at the Viennese court was made even more difficult by the fact that she remained childless for a long time. It was not until 1716, eight years after the wedding, that she gave birth to her first child, the long-awaited male heir, who was baptized Leopold. However, the infant died after only a few months, whereupon Charles donated a life-sized silver-gilt votive figure of his late son to the shrine to the Virgin Mary at Mariazell, petitioning for further male offspring. However, ‘only’ three daughters were to follow: Maria Theresa, Maria Anna, and Maria Amalia, who died in childhood.
The empress’ health was devastated by the different prescriptions as how to make her conceive another son. One of these was the injunction to drink a not inconsiderable quantity of red wine every day, resulting not in pregnancy but an addiction to alcohol. Elisabeth Christine was upset by her ‘failure’ to produce a male heir to the throne. The empress subsequently became a depressed, corpulent matron who suffered from rheumatism and difficulty in breathing. Charles had a mistress before the marriage, and he had a mistress, countess Althann, from 1711 onward, though Althann was not an official mistress and had been married to one of his ministers shortly before the arrival of the empress to make the relationship more discreet. In 1740, Charles VI died, leaving Elisabeth Christine a widow. As a widow, she never received the large income left to her in the will of Charles because of the crisis of the state, but her daughter Maria Theresa provided a comfortable existence for her court. The dowager empress died on 21 December 1750 and she was buried in the crypt of the Church of the Capuchin Friars in Vienna. (x) (x)

Hello,
What tiara do You think Maria Laura will wear for her wedding on September??
I also wanted to say that I love your blog, there are so many interesting infos
Thank you! It was just announced that Princess Maria Laura’s wedding will take place on September 10th which is the same day as one of Queen Margrethe’s jubilee celebrations so that’s going to be a busy day for tiaras.
Tumblr media
The Belgian royals don’t have a strong bridal tiara tradition. If I had to guess I would say Queen Elisabeth’s Diamond Bandeau Tiara. It’s the only tiara that’s been used multiple brides. I was worn by Queen Mathilde in 1999 and Princess Elisabetta in 2014.
Tumblr media
The other option would be the Savoy-Aosta Tiara from her father’s side of the family. It’s been worn by two of her cousins for their weddings, Countess Anna Theresa of Arco-Zinneberg in 2018 and Countess Margherita of Arco Zinneburg in March of this year. It’s also her mother, Princess Astrid’s most used tiara but she didn’t wear a tiara for her wedding.
Tumblr media
If I’m going just on looks I would choose Queen Elisabeth’s Diamond Bandeau Tiara but I kind of have mixed feeling about it because I’m worried that Queen Paola is going to leave it to Princess Astrid instead of keeping it in the main line of the family and Princess Maria Laura wearing it for her wedding would be another indication of that happening. I need to not worry about that though because she has every right to wear the tiara and I think it would look great on her.
