Louise"s name is recorded to have played a major role in the delicate diplomatic game that was driven in Christian VI"s final years. Later that year, she was hastily married to Ernest Frederick III, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen, with a large dowry to hasten the wedding and calm down the scandal. They married in the Hirschholm Palace, north of Copenhagen, on 1 October 1749.
Duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen
As duchess of Saxe-Hildburghausen, she hosted a court known for its formal etiquette, great costs and many parties.
She was described as proud and with "royal expenses" in her way of living, amusing herself with ballets, masquerades, balls, hunting and gambling, driving through the streets with a carriage (or, in winters, with a sleigh) of gold and silver. She died on 8 August 1756 after giving birth to a single child who died after a month: Princess Frederica Sophie Juliane Caroline (5 December 1755 – 10 January 1756).
