- On 15 November 1878, the couple left Liverpool and arrived in Canada for the inauguration at Halifax on 25 November.
- Like her siblings, Louise was brought up with the strict programme of education devised by her father, Prince Albert, and his friend and confidant, Baron Stockmar. The young children were taught practical tasks, such as cooking, farming, household tasks and carpentry.
- Louise was bored at court, and by fulfilling her duties, which were little more than minor secretarial tasks, such as writing letters on the queen's behalf; dealing with political correspondence; and providing the queen with company, she had more responsibilities.
- The queen averred that Louise's marriage to a subject would bring "new blood" into the family, while all European princes were related to each other. She was convinced that this would strengthen the royal family morally and physically.
- Daughter of Francis Charles Augustus Emmanuel Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1819-1861). and Victoria (1819-1901).
