from
Archduchess Louise of Austria’s Wikipedia page:
Luise was very popular in Saxony. However, she did not follow etiquette at the court, which resulted in arguments with her father-in-law, King George of Saxony.
On 9 December 1902 Luise fled from Dresden due to her father-in-law threatening to have her interned in Sonnestein Mental Asylum for life. Her brother supported her in her wish to escape Saxony. She left Saxony without her children, but pregnant with Anna. For a while, she lived with her children’s French tutor, André Giron, who was wrongly believed to be the father of her youngest daughter, Anna.
She was divorced from her husband on 11 February 1903 by the royal decree of her father-in-law. Emperor Franz Josef did not acknowledge the civil divorce.
