The murder-suicide at Mayerling may be a little clearer.

One historical curiousity is this came out in the same year as Omar Sharif's death.
One of his poor movies was about Mayerling and costarred Catherine Deneuve.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

What a tragic, creepy story. And world changing.

See the comments. There is a suggestion that Rudolf was weak and unstable. Things may not have turned for the better had he lived.

But hope (in the realm of alternative history) springs eternal.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Weak and unstable may have been exactly the traits needed to avoid World War I!

True. Never thought of it like that.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
