"Let me assure you that I shall always foster with the same sincerity the feelings of gratefulness and faithful love I bear for you in my heart. Remember with love, your faithful Ludwig." Ludwig II to his beloved Paul von Thurn und Taxis 💘👬 Colouring: mine. #ludwigii #ludwigiiofbavaria #princepauloftaxis #paulvonthurnundtaxis #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/p/CU2YAQMMj0r/?utm_medium=tumblr

Curiosity: Ludwig used to gift to the guy he romantically liked objects with the shape of a swan, animal which he notoriously took as a symbol of himself. We remember,among others, Paul's cufflinks,with a swan incised on them. #ludwigiiofbavaria #ludwigii #princepauloftaxis #paulvonthurnundtaxis #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/p/CWD0QhFsm8K/?utm_medium=tumblr

To celebrate Ludwig's 20th birthday, Paul dressed up as Lohengrin,a character which Ludwig practically considered his alter ego (we can even see the swan,which was Ludwig's symbol). Having Paul a beautiful voice, he also sang for the occasion. For the ones knowing Ludwig's romanticism and love for theatre, just imagine how much the King was smitten! #ludwigiiofbavaria #ludwigii #princepauloftaxis #paulvonthurnundtaxis #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBV2ADs-_G/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Dear and Beloved Ludwig! I am just finishing my diary with the thought of the beautiful hours which we spent together that evening a week ago which made me the happiest man on earth… Oh, Ludwig, Ludwig, I am consecrated to you! I couldn’t stand the people around me; I sat still and, in my thought I was with you ... How my heart beats when, at the Residenz, I see a light in your window." Prince Paul Thurn und Taxis to Ludwig II. #ludwigiiofbavaria #ludwigii #princepauloftaxis #paulvonthurnundtaxis #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/p/CVnzdihokpk/?utm_medium=tumblr

"My own beloved Ludwig! What in the name of all the Saints has your Friedrich done to you? What did he say that no hand, no good night, no Auf Wiedersehen favoured him? How I feel I cannot say, my trembling hand may show you my inner disquiet. I did not intend to hurt you. Forgive me; be good again with me, I fear the worst - I cannot stand this. May my notes climb to you reconcilingly. Amen! Forgive your unhappy Friedrich." Paul Thurn und Taxis (nicknamed Friedrich) to Ludwig II after Ludwig broke up with him, due to the increasing voices (fake or true, it is not clear) of Paul's frivolous behaviour. Ludwig did not bear the idea not to be unique and his jealousy,together with his growing romantic feelings for him, brought him to cut every contact. In the picture you can see Ludwig sitting at the table and Paul standing at the opposite side of the picture, looking to him. #ludwigiiofbavaria #ludwigii #princepauloftaxis #paulvonthurnundtaxis #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVziu5sN_J/?utm_medium=tumblr
