Supportive Sisters

[SvenskaSarah]

It seems there's a fair few current examples of sisters to monarchs/heirs that seem incredibly supportive and close to their sibling. For example:

Princess Anne
Princess Isabella
Princess Sofia of Spain
Princess Charlotte
Princess Maigret (Beatrix's sister).
Princess Benedikte

I wonder if there's some more historical examples of supportive sisters?

Just a small correction, Beatrix's younger sister, is named Margriet.
Which is the Dutch name for a daisey. Indeed a variant of Margaret and related.

Thank you, I do apologise! There's an old programme in the UK called Maigret which I must have been thinking of when I was typing.

I don't know much about Countess Mary, I did think of her when I wrote my post, but I don't know much about her supporting her brother.

Princess Feodora of Leiningen (1807-1872) was the maternal half-sister to Queen Victoria of England.   
Feodora enjoyed a very close relationship with Victoria, who was devoted to her.

Ella supported her sister the Tsarina, she was married to Nicholas' uncle.

It seems to me that Daisy and her two sisters have a very loving and supportive relationship. And I don't think there ever was any suggestion of a rivalry among them.

Astrid of Norway
Christina of Sweden - although we'll never understand why!

Princess Victoria Melita, Princess Marie, Princess Alexandra, and Princess Beatrice of Edinburgh were supportive sisters.   
Victoria Melita was particularly close to Marie.

I don't know if I'd include Mary, since she pretty much stayed in York after her marriage.  She continued to do "good deeds," and participated in major royal events, but she wasn't really based in London.

I think Margaret of the UK could be considered supportive, since she did take on a significant number of charitable positions.  Her personal life was another story...
