Not yet seventeen years old, she married the nearly seventeen-year 
          older Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Saalfeld. Luise has been described as 
          "elegant, attractive, with fair locks and blue eyes, natural and 
          amiable". She was dearly loved by her two sons and the people of her 
          husband's Duchy. When, in 1824 and after only seven years of marriage, 
          she wanted to separate from her husband, the people of Saalfeld 
          dragged back her carriage and re-united her with her husband and 
          children. However, this did not last and Luise left, saying "Parting 
          from my children was the worst thing of all". In 1826 they divorced 
          and in the same year she married Freiherr Alexander von Hanstein, whom 
          she had known for over two years. However, she lived only another four 
          years before dying, according to Queen Victoria, of a "sad and painful 
          illness".
