Born and raised at the Royal Court, always surrounded by people who loved and respected her, Blanche grew up with a distorted vision of the world that existed outside the Palace's gates.Sustained by her nurse's tales, the girl's imagination managed so surprise everyone.
As a young girl, Blanche used to spoof her nurse quite frequently, slinking outside the Palace and traipsing in the woods for hours.Even her parents' vituperations didn't seem to calm her down, the little restless girl taking advantage of her nurse's naps to continue her escapades.
As the years passed the imaginary friends seemed to fade away and one day Blanche simply stopped talking about them.Although she started acting more like and Princess and less like a wild creature, she still dreamed her delusions.
But her marriage to Maximilian and motherhood seemed to burn down her wildest dreams and temper her, the wild Princess turning into a responsible lady.
