What do you mean people feel insulted when you insult them?
The number of biographers who go "THIS" when talking about Fritz driving his friends/intellectuals away by expecting them to not get offended, banter back, but without insulting him, and without forgetting that he's king...Oh, Fritz. You never did understand the difference between abused teenager punching up and absolute monarch punching down. *hugs*
Another girl, what can you do
Drown them like puppies? *lolsob*
You honestly kind of look like your older brother in a dress
Well, the tricorn isn't helping, but as we've discussed, Amalie was the one who looked most like him, intense blue eyes and all!
One eye on your career and one eye on some pretty boy's ass
OH HEINRICH.
Your family had other problems around the time of your birth
OH BOY DID THEY
and you being overlooked never quite stopped
That explains so much! From Wilhelmine's "my youngest sibling was four and hiding under the table" on! :PP
Heee! Everyone needs this shorthand for Fritz & siblings!
That's what I thought. :) the opening word for Ferdinand had me in stitches, not gonna lie. Whereas the first sentence of Ulrike's made me think: "I have never considered this aspect before, but it's absolutely true!"
Ulrike: Becoming Queen on the one hand and being into the miltary on the other certainly helped! As did the fact that Fritz of Wales finally got married just when Mom got ready for another "marry my daughter to the Prince of Wales" campaign. And of course, Dad didn't live to see me flirting with Voltaire, let alone playing Christian for Fritz.
