"I am at present in undeserved disgrace."

As the examples of, among others, Marie de Medici, the duchesse de Longueville and the Grande Mademoiselle had demonstrated, the king's relationships with his closest female relatives was potentially as troublesome as that with any prince. After 1661, Louis XIV's principal concern was to uphold his own authority and to prevent the almost inevitable household disputes from threatening the tranquillity of his court. With so many men on active military service, Versailles during the later years of the reign was very much a feminine sphere, and disgrace was a no less constant preoccupation for aristocratic women who were determined to preserve their own personal and dynastic interests. Madame, duchesse d'Orléans, frequently returned to the theme. As a woman of trenchant and forthright views, she had struggled to remain in the king's good graces. In January 1691, she noted with pleasure that the king had paid some of her gambling debts, which she interpreted as a sign "that I am not so deeply in disgrace this year at last." Her good fortune proved short-lived, and many of her problems stemmed from her unguarded correspondence and her almost legendary hostility to the marquise de Maintenon. By September 1696, she could write venomously that:

"I am at present in undeserved disgrace. Whenever I come in the king's apartment the dirty old slut [Maintenon] withdraws and when I beg her to remain, she makes no reply but goes out with a sneer on her face. I am being treated in a very rude fashion. Every day I am forced to wait half-an-hour at the king's door before I am allowed to enter, and sometimes I am even sent away, although at the same time all the king's bastards and even Monsieur himself are in the room."

Some of her discomfiture on this and other occasions may have arisen from impatience with the dictates of protocol, but even if that was the case her sensitivity to every personal or ceremonial slight was typical of court society as a whole.

Hi, your Grace! I just would like to know if there were some examples of twins in royal families. If your queen gives birth to the two brothers, for example, which of them inherits the throne?

It is the one that's born first or the one that fits the criteria (gender for example).

Royal twins of history:

Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene II

James II of Scotland and Alexander Stewart, Duke of Rothesay

Princess Louise Élisabeth of France and Princess Henriette of France

Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques of Monaco

Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine of Denmark

Princess Vitoire and Princess Jeanne of France

Princess Aisha and Princess Sara bint Al Faisal

Prince Alexander and Prince Philip of Yugoslavia

The Old Mausoleum and Princess Elisabeth.

In the Grand Ducal Hessian family, the name Elisabeth evokes melancholic feelings; as the lives of the beholders of this beautiful name, which means 'God-given', the princesses Elisabeth, later Grand Duchess Elizaveta Feodorovna (1864-1918) and Elisabeth, Elizaveta Feodorovna's niece (1895-1903), were princesses whose lives and destinies were intermingled with happiness, devotion, service, and sadness. Today, remembering the beholders of this name, we can remember another Hessian princess named Elisabeth who, like Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig's daughter, also died in childhood. Being so young when she passed away, information about her is scarce. She was the fourth child and first daughter of the Hereditary Princely couple of Darmstadt, Ludwig and Wilhelmine, but the fact is that Elisabeth's parents had been leading separated lives for a while and, the age gap with her older brothers, Princes Ludwig and Karl, was of more than a decade. Therefore, that her biological father was not the Hereditary Prince does not come as a surprise, being the most probable biological father August von Senarclens-Grancy, a Swiss noble in service to the court. He was also the possible biological father of her younger siblings, Alexander and Marie, but, like her, they were also recognized by Ludwig. Wilhelmine's pregnancy with Elisabeth is mentioned in a letter from her sister, Russian Empress Elizaveta Alexeievna to her mother, Amalie of Hesse-Darmstadt: '...I am very sorry for my poor aunt in Darmstadt [Luise, Grand Duchess of Hesse and by the Rhine, mother-in-law of Wilhelmine], whose eyes are in such a bad state. Is she happy with Mimi's [Wilhelmine's nickname] pregnancy ? Dear mother, I don't think I have been secretive with you, but when Mimi told me that I was the first person she had spoken to about her pregnancy, I thought it was not for me to be the first to speak of it, but for her in every way. I still don't know how far along she is, she hasn't told me, but I'm sure you do, dear mother...' . Three months after this letter was written, on the 20 of May of 1821, Amalie Elisabeth Luise Caroline Friederike was born. Although not directly mentioned, she was possibly named in honor of her maternal grandmother and maternal aunts and her official paternal grandmother. She, as a child, possibly spent the majority of her time with nannies that took care of her, and with her mother Wilhelmine. Elisabeth has been referred to as her mother's favorite daughter. Her mother, who loved to travel to Switzerland and had visited it several times before, decided to take all her children in a travel there, but what was to be a happy event, was marked by tragedy, as Elisabeth, in the outward journey, contracted scarlet fever and died on May 27, 1826, in Lausanne, a week after her fifth birthday.

Little Elisabeth was laid to rest first in the Darmstadt City Church for some time until 1831, when the mausoleum her mother had asked court architect Georg Moller to erect in the Rosehöhe, a most loved place for her, was finished. This mausoleum with time became an important burial place for the Hessian Grand Ducal family.

As for Wilhelmine, with the death of Elisabeth, her love for Switzerland, traveling, and life in general decayed. She said some years later 'the old wanderlust is no longer to be found in me'.

Wilhelmine died in 1836, and asked her husband, now Grand Duke Ludwig II, to have a simple funeral and to be laid to rest with her beloved Elisabeth.

Excerpt about Caroline, from the book Le cahier rouge des femmes de Napoléon, by Arthur Chevallier

As for Caroline, she was rudimentary, unrivaled in her wickedness and authoritarianism. Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun remembers being forced to draw her portrait:

“Finally all the troubles that Madame Murat made me feel so angry that one day, as she was in my studio, I said to Mr. Denon, loud enough for her to hear: ‘I painted real princesses who never lied to me and never kept me waiting.’ The fact is that Madame Murat was perfectly unaware that exactitude is the politeness of kings, as Louis XIV said so well, who, in truth, was not a parvenu.”
