She was fearful of making another mistake that would result in their deaths (she blamed herself for Sophie's death, you know). She only once intervened in Rudolph's education, most likely saving his life. The only child she actually loved was Marie Valerie, whom she referred to as her "one and only". I'm sure Gisela and Rudolph were thrilled by that. Rudolph was the one most like her, and would have needed her help, but she was never there for him - rarely ever at home.
Lovely doll, however, my inner history teacher has to protest on a few matters... First of all, her nickname was Sisi, not Sissi. If you ever watched a Romy Schneider-movie, better forget all about it. Elisabeth never was a wise empress, either - she wasn't interested in politics and only used her influence over her husband to improve the situation of Hungary, since she liked that country. As for her children - after the death of Sophie, she abandoned Gisela and Rudolph. [tbc]
Your 29th crown is awarded for the creativity and genius to do a progressional design. I like the gowns and the overall style of the woman in each stage of her life. A pretty crown for this one.
