Fascinating information about Queen Louise, very notable figure in history!Queen Louise of Prussia (1776 – 1810) was painted by Madame Vigee Lebrun in two poses, both a head and full body, but always with a modest scarf around her neck, to conceal a goiter that was inoperable in those days. Born Louise of Meckiburg-Strelitz in 1793, she fell in love & married Frederick William III at 18 years of age, and became a heroine to her people with her steadfast defiance and regal stature during the Napoleonic Wars. The Treaties of Tilsit (East Prussia) were signed here in July 1807, the preliminaries of which were settled by the emperors Alexander I of Russia and Napoleon I of France on a raft moored in the Neman River. This treaty, which created the Kingdom of Westphalia and the Duchy of Warsaw, completed Napoleon\'s humiliation of the Kingdom of Prussia, when it was deprived of one half of its dominions. This short-lived peace-treaty is also remarkable for quite another reason. Three days before its signing, Prussian Queen Louise tried to persuade Napoleon in a private conversation to ease his hard conditions on Prussia, thereby debasing herself at Tilsit, by bowing to Napoleon and literally begging him to have compassion for her people. Although without any tangible result, Louise\'s effort greatly endeared her to the Prussian people forever, and established a new respect in Napoleon, for a Queen that he had always regarded as totally inept.

Princess Louise was born on March 10, 1776 in Hanover, Germany, the daughter of Prince Charles of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Early in 1792, when Louise was 16, her uncle, hoping to strengthen the ties between his family and the Prussian royal family, carefully plotted a meeting between Louise and Crown Prince Frederick William III. The plan worked, and they married. The Prince became King when his father died in 1797, and the beautiful and family-oriented Louise saw it as her duty to support her husband in all his endeavors. Meanwhile, the nation was charmed by the young Queen\'s grace, beauty, and wit. Historians have commented that Queen Louise was Prussian nationalism personified.
