** While one would get the impression that Sophie was a widow, not only was her husband Archduke Franz Karl of Austria still alive at the time the series takes place, he actually outlived her by six years.

None

Added DiffLines:

** While Elisabeth did indeed having a younger brother named Karl, Karl-Theodor to be precise, he was her junior by two years. Konrad and Tina are inventions of the series with no mention of her elder brother Ludwig Wilhelm or her actual younger siblings Maria Sophie, Mathilde Ludovika, Sophie Charlotte and Maximilian Emmanuel. Helene does appear, but she is made an unrelated character.
** In actual history, Elisabeth's mother Ludovika was the sister of Franz Joseph's mother Sophie, meaning the couple was a real life example of KissingCousins. For understandable reasons, this piece of information was left out.

** By sheer virtue of this taking place long before World War I, Franz Joseph I of Austria, here simply called "Franz", has a more positive portrayal than would be possible if this was not about Sissi.

* ObliviouslyEvil: Helena is placed in charge of orphans. While her attempts at keeping them entertained ''appear'' to be genuine, they are poorly-thought out and borderline-dangerous; she tries to get them to play with a snarling Doberman that she can barely control, and later she more or less forces them to frolic in the snow and do things like build snowmen even though it is freezing out and they are poorly clothed. She eventually just gives up and starts using them as servants.

* InHarmonyWithNature: Tommy is at home in the woods and can communicate with animals for the most part, hence why his foster mother calls him a "wild boy".



* SiblingTriangle: Downplayed; Franz's brother Karl is in love with Sissi as well, but he cares too much about her and Franz's happiness to stand in their way and therefore cannot be considered a rival.
* StarCrossedLovers: Most of the plot comes from Sissi and Franz being torn apart time and time again.
