I think some of your channels will air it sometime soon too
DeleteShe sounds like a Duggar, spitting out all of those kids. The costumes are quite lovely. I need to find me a top that makes my boobs look as good as those ladies to in their corseted dresses.
ReplyDeleteit always strikes me how Maria Theresia's life was similar to Victoria's. Both loved their husband, both were conservative, both reproduced like rats, both ruled for almost half a century, both wore black after the death of their husbands, both of their husbands had trouble adjusting to their wives being above them, both had German blood in them.... Both had troubles with their sons, heirs to the throne, whom they did not trust, Victoria with Bertie, Maria with Joseph....
DeleteIt's up on Youtube, with excellent English subtitles--catch it while you can. Marie Luise Stockinger is amazing.
ReplyDeleteYes, we watched all the German series there, on German Period Translations channel, a lovely place!
