Are you afraid?

I would understand that. I mean, you

're still so young.

I'm not afraid.

I just have the feeling that we

're not alone and that embarrasses me.

It's common for mothers to spend the

wedding night in front of the bride and groom's door.

You don't have to do anything do what you don't want

I'll wait are you ready

just tell me what you want to do

what I want at this moment

's such a beautiful night it would be a shame

to spend it in here

it is to a beautiful 8

[music]

you have yes it's cold should we

go back

[applause]

it'll just be the excitement I've

always imagined what it'll be like to

be alone with you

[music]

and what it's like that

it's beautiful

[music]

beautiful

[music]

[music]

[music]

I'm leaving you in the best hands.

I don't know if the phones that

trust you are really the best,

but you'll notice one thing whenever you

need me It's your turn,

I beg you, dad, don't make me

cry.

I'm sure that we're

extremely inappropriate for an

empress to be able to think with her own head.

That's how the true strength of

an empress Sisi is measured.

There's a big task that

Elisabeth may have to face big for

his boys times but fate has

put you in this place you are

now the whole hope of your people

that soon you will understand what I mean

story too far

[applause]

because it is the what's the point of this

sad one to call me majesty

that sounds all are you making

fun of me agree but

promise me 1 stay as you are you

will be good for my family and the empire

why because you are natural and

likeable your people will love you

elisabeth and we urgently

need that imperial highness how long

can we each other Already Countess

Esterhazy for ten years Imperial

Highness In these ten years I have

made numerous decisions

I have never made it easy for myself

but I have also never

shied away from knowing that they took action

I have always tried to act correctly

and now I don't want them to The

only decision in which I

have experienced that it was made over my head

and which I did not

oppose. They stand against me.

I have never seen you so worried.

Imperial Hubert, having to attend the whims

and extravagances of the Empress

will put me in Worry

like the Empress is very young and the

tasks are difficult and consider the

people are very fond of their young

ruler. You are one of the few

people I trust Griffin.

I would like her to be the first

company with the Empress

Elisabeth. It would be a big one for me

honor you will always be with her day

and night you will be at her side

when she goes for a walk when she speaks

when she is when she sleeps always that is

not possible

that calls very well does not allow it and

know your majesty that they also

say that I be bad for the skin,

you don't have to help me, I

'll come back alone, they can't do that,

she should have this class difference and

that's what she wants from this moment on, every

move of hers, every word, every gesture,

even every thought, will be under my control.

I will be that girl teachers to

be what she is not is a good

wife and above all the ruler of

this country thank you you can go now

I want to be alone but your

majesty are not allowed to bathe alone I have been

bathing alone since I was a little

girl because what are we supposed to

do here What's going on here,

sorry aunt, I'm just taking a bath

I was all sweaty after I left,

help your

Imperial Majesty out of the tub

I would like to introduce you to someone

Countess Esterhazy will

be your first lady from now on Your

Majesty I'm looking forward to seeing you serve

the countess will take care of you she

will be very helpful to you

higher according to her she is

completely familiar with all the

refinements of the court ceremonial and I

have no doubt that you can learn a lot from

iris

for example that you can only do it once a

week You are allowed to ask something on Monday

that you, my dear, certainly didn't know.

The court ceremonies are far too rigid with

regard to such things and I admit

that I don't feel uncomfortable

paying attention to Africa because

the Frisians and the seamstresses

are definitely out there Wait for an order

from you, whatever it is, you will

have no reason to complain

please

[Music] Your

Majesty what a charming

idea to move the garden at tea time

the English call this invention

picnic picnic I do believe that

it is very important new from

to learn about other countries

I would like to do a lot of traveling in my life,

yes that's certainly nice,

although between you and me, your majesty,

I don't think there are that many countries

that are worth visiting,

look around, I don't think there

are any nicer places

Knowing the language, the customs of other

countries helps to understand people better.

For example, I would like to

visit Hungary and speak better. For

God's sake, your Majesty,

we would rather leave it to a wild,

uncouth people. Yes, that would

also prove to be problematic, Your

Majesty Reputation is it forbidden

to speak unfairly

yes I know but it is such a beautiful

language is whether the conversation can be broken down

but it is so boring forget me about

you since the Empress if you

were to get a sudden headache the ladies would all be

forced to Go straight away,

this is the first time I've

experienced something like this, she's just too

young, it's a tragedy,

it was very good advice to always be on

duty after master.

I also have to admit that I was

n't that long at 85. You

know, it's for me It's not easy to

stay in there alone all day and if I could read something

the time would certainly

pass more quickly, your majesty and reading

Reading is really an excellent

way to spend time, of course I have certain

preferences but I have the impression

my aunt won't be happy if

she does books appeared at court,

you will get them for me

Franz knows what time it is now the

Emperor of Austria is a very

busy man.

You can't imagine how much

I would like to be here with your bed now

in the Hofburg the situation in Italy

seems to be getting worse

I know there is a lot of talk about the problems

of the Empire in

Lombardy you can't do anything to

bring peace to these peoples

it's not that easy you know

[Music]

Franz

you will catch a cold I didn't want

you to just die right away

[music] I

keep forgetting that you are the emperor

come back soon

[applause]

a Hungarian story

I quoted the lives of the

great saints instead that's a lot to

achieve

thank you Griffin and just say the

books were can't be found, so

unnecessary discussions are nipped in the bud.

Mom,

sleeping at such an early hour is bad for

young people after a certain time

no peace at all

tell me if I'm wrong

you shouldn't concern yourself with things

that don't concern you

so that's even worse than I

thought you've

taken on a very responsible task

Max thinks about that Trieste and the

Royal Fleet need you and I need

them

before me Departure was - farewell and

make sure that everything is going well here,

be careful Max, I hope you are not

so disappointed,

you have never disappointed me since the

day you were born. The Kingdom of

Sardinia is leading the movement for the

unification of Italy.

Our provinces Lombardy and Veneto

are in the highest Danger

the same applies to the neighboring

Grand Duchy of Tuscany and if we were to do it here

we will increase the troops

Field Marshal Radetzky to provide a

visible proof of the imperial power

and the supreme commander of

the navy my brother

Maximilian will leave for Trieste today

to establish a presence there show as

you have seen, Your Majesty, the

financial situation is a cause for great

concern. Military expenditure for the

current year exceeds the

state's total revenue.

Then we have to increase taxes. We

have no other choice.

We need the resources to prevent a

rebellion in the bud in our Italian

provinces to suffocate

I heard today Your Majesty is superior to

waive the prison sentence for some insurgents with minor offenses I

think that is a dangerous idea one

could more easily interpret this attitude as a

sign of weakness

no no accommodation

you are right we cannot reduce the pressure

for the strength of the

Imperial empire must remain noticeable

thank you very good morning morning

your majesty

I was not informed I have the

animal prepared immediately I had

always done it alone allowed me to

help so humbly story a bit of

democracy is good but you should

do his job I am here To

say goodbye, no,

but then I'll be even lonelier. If I were

you, I wouldn't

talk about loneliness. I'm afraid I

'll never get used to the protocol.

Well, don't worry, I've

never succeeded either.

I prefer the sea to it all

The thoughts are a little easier now

I have to go Italy is a

powder keg and I am needed there

everyone has to do what they can

I know I would also like to be able to do something

Franz needed I see her and not

just him the entire people needed I only needed

your mother She does

n't seem to be very enthusiastic about my presence,

I'm sure the word she

'll conquer just gives her some time. She's

allergic to horses, goodbye

cousin

and good luck, thank you, let

's go

these

gymnastics exercises I'm just a little

dizzy not second class immediately

whether to get the Seeburger no no I

don't need a doctor I think I

already know what's wrong with me

Franz dear you'll still be awake at this

time

I was waiting for you I had to do

something important thing to say, what is the duden

tone mostly set up and

talk about it every day at the bar tower

like it will all stop now,

I will be very good and

behave as befits a real

empress and you think you

can do it

if there is one there is good reason

we are expecting a child a child the

dearest

[applause]

you see the brand they are happy with

us they wish us all the best they

wish you that you give birth to a healthy child

they don't they love me without

knowing me and I don't know her either.

I would then get out and

look each one in the eye

[applause]

except

an empress doesn't see herself among the

people. You have to rest and

avoid anything that

could harm the pregnancy. An empress would

never do anything that would harm her child

could

it be all you can go is

something else aunt you can't

forbid me from approaching my subjects

it was just a polite gesture to

even ask you I find your

idea of ​​walking through the streets of Vienna

to look your people in the eye

simple Ridiculous

That may be ridiculous for you but

not for me and not for Franz either.

He really appreciates that the people

love me. I will do what I think is right. I'm

sorry. Imperial fetched. I

told you that she has a strong

will I don't have the slightest

intention of following the whims of a spoiled

girl,

follow her and lock her in

her room if necessary, that's

impossible. Certainly if I

can say more about the imperial fetch there

is a solution. Sometimes the illusion of victory is

stronger than that Victory myself I could

take care of the matter personally,

what do you recommend? I have an

idea why all the children are in bed,

they make them sick, it's just

that young people usually sleep at this time

and then only they have no

warning that suits your visit

Would

you think I care how you

are dressed?

Don't you want to give me a kiss goodnight?

Children, that might

not be appropriate. Children, he comes to me

and greets me. That's

not clothing.

Tomorrow I'll make sure that the

farm sends you clothes

The wind is coming now. We want it to be

warm, don't we? Part of

you are so beautiful, no, you are beautiful,

my dear child, your majesty. We have

prepared some refreshments for you. It's

all a bit improvised, of course,

but we were only recently welcomed by

Informed of your upcoming visit,

you'd better give yourself to these children

at the top. Don't you see how skinny they

are at last to intervene in internal affairs,

that violates the

etiquette Countess Esterházy? Ask

these poor children what they think of the

label.

I'm curious what they'll

answer Do

n't want to stay here, good time,

very good, you're doing well

[Music]

This is an orphanage, why

is the child here if it's a mother of

her majesty, this woman could

n't manage to feed everyone, her husband is in

prison,

what crime has he done? They

say he printed leaflets for the

uprisings of 1848. How many

years does he have to stay in prison?

20 20 years that's a tremendous

effort

[Music]

A girl stands a beautiful

whole - meters up to Franz. My

daughter would like to learn that in the

to hold the evening

how is the Empress hat already

asked about your majesty I'm going

straight to her

you hold the clear so much it's here

and I have decided together

if it's a girl she should

have your name I hope you're happy

about it too much,

I disappointed you, Franz, we have

a beautiful, healthy child, how

should I be disappointed,

even though it can be boy, the next one

will be Boucsein team,

you give me I want to have them here with me,

what is beautiful, that is, with all

due respect, your Imperial Highnesses The child

is hungry, the poor is waiting, the poor, there is

no need, I breastfeed

myself, dear, I don't think it

would be appropriate, what does not appropriate mean,

why an empress doesn't

represent her, you would feel like you like it very much,

not breastfeeding is a privilege, do

you understand that Your majesty

you have to rest now

Anna

you have given me the most beautiful gift in the

world

what can I do to thank you

you can give me your most precious good

a little bit of a time

[music]

that was all you just wanted a

little time Spending time with

me is a lot for me, I

never see it, and I also wanted you to

meet the people, that you and the people

don't where I keep reports

and documents about you every week, but that

's not the same dose of 10e from

face to face face

only a few buy and the sellers are

worried it's a shame their shoes are on and

their clothes are old and well-kept his

subjects are poor franz the people

fear for their future it

took me months to teach them the

name of the empress

great but you would be better

If you could also say the name is Kaiser,

my wife would

n't say the name of the French Fila at all,

but what should I say, but

just like everyone has to be

in love with our Empress, yes, but the Emperor

is much more important for the people,

the Empress has to be That's why you

love straight away the emperor loves his people,

no more questions are asked, say the

emperor loves his people with all his heart

enough we go of course I love it in my

case

but an emperor is not a father people have to

be strict sometimes and

that's why he's not liked by them

Loved by all his children but you always love your father.

A father has to worry about the

well-being of his children. It's

not about understanding him, it

's about respecting him.

I have very big worries. I ca

n't smile through the streets of Vienna

Walking to gain the goodwill of the people

When I visited the orphanage

I saw a woman who was forced

to stay there with her child because her husband

is in prison and she can't manage

to feed the family. Yes, it's that often

the children have to take the blame her

parents from Baden

he is in prison because he

printed leaflets in 1848 he was sentenced to 20

years

that's unbelievable home they

tried to destroy that was me

so it's not incredibly hard and a

traitor took place these leaflets

have an immense impact on the security of the empire

Dangerous

but I don't see a revolution now

Franz if I pardoned the insurgents

I would be badly kicked

are you sure that they

would interpret that as a weakness

that's enough Suisse as I know my

duty is to hold this empire

together and that's what I will do

the times are About to

change Franz I can't

deny it

I would never have dreamed

that I would

talk to a woman about politics Welcome

back your majesty are you well

satisfy your escape it was very

instructive grab where is my little

Sophie I can hardly wait

to press her against me

[music]

what does that mean where is my

daughter your majesty the archduchess

has found that this wing of the castle

is too exposed to the sun and

has had the children's rooms moved to her chambers

behind my back they could have

prevented that have to

[music]

with what right have you allowed yourself this?

I call it human sense, the

same human sense that guided me in

raising my son

so that he has become what he

is today.

Human sense that you seem to

completely lack. I don't know what in

me I'm still interested in driving,

she's my daughter, she belongs to

me you believe that everything is a game,

romantic escape, silly

disguises, no, it's much more than

that

and one thing has to be understood, Elisabeth, it

's not about you being on the side of an

emperor Patience means dedication,

unconditional commitment that doesn't stop me from

raising my child.

You are, first and foremost, the mother of

his subjects whether you like it or

not and a little girl like that

requires a lot of time and energy and with

this excuse you have

kidnapped my daughter and hate her

brought her to his chambers, no

kidnapping, don't be so melodramatic,

your daughter is here in the palace,

you can see her whenever you want,

I'm not a monster, over time

you'll understand that I'm still helping, give

me my daughter back, no, that's what they

call themselves They care

about what you have more time for your

duties as empress,

these are the rules of this house and you

will have to adapt to these rules,

that's all
