In Search of Sisi

In the course of a journey east from Munich - once capital of the Bavarian kingdom - across Austria to Vienna, we explore the life and times of the Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary (Sisi to her family) in many ways a 19th-century Diana. Young, pretty and adored by all, she married her handsome prince far too soon. The princess was soon estranged from a much older husband and sought every opportunity to slip away from the stifling formality of the court. Read more on my blog.
