Archduchess Marie Valerie (right), Empress Elisabeth of Austria´s youngest daughter, and her cousin Marie Larisch

Mariie Larisch was a confidante of Empress Elisabeth based on her horsemanship (kind of like getting a promotion in today's business world based on golf skill), a go-between for Crown Prince Rudolph and Marie Vetsera, and emigrated to the USA where life was not easy. Her Wikipedia article is here.
