: Queen Marie of Bavaria, nee Princess of
: Prussia, consort of King Maximilian II and
: mother of the Kings Ludwig II and Otto I,
: was was known as I. M. die Königin-Mutter.
Interesting as during her life there was no other Queen of Bavaria, since neither Ludwig nor Otto got married.
There was no need to mark the difference between the Queen Consorte and the Queen Mother

: What about German titles? Is there any
: equivalent to "Queen Mother" in
: the kingdom of Bavaria, Prussia, etc.? If
: it came to that, I'm wondering about dowager
: queens in general.

: What you say about French titles is
: interesting: if it came to that, I believe
: the style of Serene Highness is a direct
: translation of a French style.
:
: HOWEVER, it's actually equivalent the German
: style of "Durchlaut." For this
: reason, it's actually a lower style than
: just plain Highness -- for reasons that the
: latter is equivalent to the German style
: "Hoheit."
