The story of Elizabeth of Austria is one of the saddest in the history of royalty. Born on December 24, 1837,
Elizabeth was called Sisi by family and friends and known for her exceptional beauty, intelligence, and kindness. In
1853, Sisi accompanied her sister, Helen, to Bad Ischl, a spa town in Upper Austria. Helen had been taken into
consideration as wife to the Emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph, and the engagement should have taken place in Bad
Ischl. Surprisingly, the emperor fell in love at first sight with the 15-year-old Sisi and then thwarted the plan by
saying that if he could not have Sisi, he would not marry at all.
The couple were married on April 24, 1854, and Sisi soon became a fairy-tale princess with her charm and grace.
But what came next was her failure to get used to the strict, rigid royal life. As a free spirit, Sisi valued individual
freedom above anything else and wasn’t able to identify herself as an empress or a young mother. Little by little, she
withdrew from public life, even leaving her husband and children to live in Madeira and Venice.
At a height of 172cm, Sisi weighed only 50kg, even after four pregnancies. She kept rigorous diets and took
exercise excessively. To maintain her extraordinar y 16-inch waist, she stuck to a diet of milk, eggs, and fruits. What’s
more, she took hot olive oil bath, applied seaweed, sand or hay as body mask, and wrapped herself in face mask of
strawberries, honey and raw veal. As for her disciplined exercise habits, Sisi practiced fencing and horseriding almost
every day for hours, which made her probably the world’s best female horserider at the time. Every castle she lived in
was equipped with a gymnasium, with mats and balance beams installed so that she could practice on them each
morning.
In autumn 1898, Sisi was assassinated in Geneva by an Italian man when walking from her hotel to the ship on
which she was to leave for Montreux, Switzerland. The small knife poked a tiny hole in her heart; blood leaked out so
slowly that at first no one was aware that she had been injured. She made it to the ship but shortly afterwards she
collapsed and passed away. A few days later, her body was carried back to Vienna and was tombed next to her son
Rudolf.
