There is nothing explicit, but the tone is very sensational, much like a tabloid or gossip column. While the details are historic, they are not discussed academically.

She was already married to Prince Phillipp of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who divorced her after she abandoned him. All of the articles cited in the Bibliography refer to her as Princess Louise, not Countess Mattachich. The Wikipedia article about her only cites books in French.(less)
