Archduchess Louise (1870-1947) was the daughter of Grand Duke Ferdinand IV of Tuscany. She was by marriage Crown Princess of Saxony as the wife of the future King Frederick Augustus III. Rumors began to circulate that she had an affair. Louise fled from the Saxon court while expecting her seventh child. She fled to Lake Geneva. Her father-in-law declared her and Frederick Augustus' civil divorce on February 11, 1903. Her ex-husband forbade her to return to Dresden.

The title about George IV sounds interesting: It Was Hate at First Sight.

Prince Leopold Clemens of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (1878-1916) died in a horrible way, when his then mistress (whom he refused to marry and wanted to get rid of), Camilla Rybicka, shot at him five times and threw sulfuric acid into his face. He died after six months of suffering. Rybicka committed suicide.
He was the only son of Philipp of SCG and Princesse Louise of Belgium.

Although Marie Antoinette is the most well-known daughter of Maria Theresia, during her mother's lifetime it was another daughter, who provoked the most scandal and was her mother's greatest problem child.
Maria Amalia (1746-1804) was kind of isolated in the family as although being part of many siblings her elder and younger sisters were some years apart of her and so she was educated alone. At 22 she fell in with Karl of Zweibrücken and hoped to marry him.
Her elder sister, Maria Christina, had after all also been permitted to marry for love. MA was furious, when she was forbidden to wed him and instead had to marry Duke Ferdinand of Parma. This created a first lifelong discord between mother and daughter.
Ferdinand was a weak character and soon enough MA dominated him.
Her mother constantly warned her not to interfere in politics, but MA wouldn't listen. It came up to the point were MT stopped corresponding with her daughter alltogether and also forbade MAs siblings to do so (though at least Maria Carolina and Maria Anna still did). MT later on tried to reconcile with her daughter prior to her death, but to no avail so they didn't have any contact before her death in 1780. MA died in Prague being forced out of Parma from Napoleon's troopes.

Prince Ludwig Rudolph of Hanover (1955-1988) and his wife Isabella of Thurn-Valsassina (1962-1988) both died under mysterious circumstances on 29th of November 1988.
Appearantly Isabella was a drug addict and took an overdose (not sure, if on purpose or not). When LR found her he initially tried to save her, but obviously to no avail. He then called his brother, Ernst August, asking him to take care of his son, Otto (who was by then just about ten months old.)
He was found dead the next day. He had put a pistol in his mouth.
Otto was given in the care of his maternal grandparents and now lives in Salzburg with his grandmother.

I remember reading about their wedding in Royalty magazine. Looking at the photos at the time I thought she looked drugged out of her mind. Turned out it probably was true. Their baby son was only 10 months at the time.  |

Only her enemies believed it and were the source of that rumor. Lady Antonia Fraser's excellent biography of Mary covers it well. |
