When her grandfather Emperor Franz Joseph took custody of his young granddaughter, why did he forbid Archduchess Elisabeth to leave Austria?

It was interesting to learn that Archduchess Elisabeth sold red paper carnations at the May Day Parade in 1921.

Why did Crown Prince Rudolph ask the Emperor Franz Joseph to have guardianship over Archduchess Elisabeth instead of Crown Princess Stephanie?

Archduchess Elisabeth was considered as a possible bride for Prince Albert, the son of King Leopold II of Belgium.   
King Leopold refused to give his consent.

Just look at their marriage. Also his father was the head of the family. Stephanie didn't have any role after his death.

It was totally customary at the time that children remained with the man part of the family.

It was also custom that women did not have any legal rights or voices. It never entered the minds of these generations that a woman could become a legal guardian for a child, that could become a valuable pawn in the making and breaking of alliances.

A notable exception was Sisi's sister Helene, who got customary over her children after her husband's death. Her father in law clearly saw the potential in her and trusted her. He seemed to have been more open minded than other men of his generation.

Indeed, in the end she got the best marriage of all the in Bavaria sisters. Sadly, it was only short lived as her husband passed away early.
Also some heart break about her children.
