 As a daughter of the Queen , Louise was a desirable bride ; more so as she is regarded as the Queen 's most beautiful daughter by both contemporary and modern biographers . However , she was accused by the press , without substantiation , of romantic affairs . This , coupled with her liberalism and feminism , prompted the Queen to find her a husband . The choice had to suit Victoria as well as Louise , and the Queen insisted that her daughter 's husband should live near her , a promise which had also been extracted from the husband of Helena , Louise 's sister . Various suitors were proposed by the leading royal houses of Europe : Princess Alexandra proposed her brother , the Crown Prince of Denmark , but the Queen was strongly opposed to another Danish marriage that could antagonise Prussia . Victoria , Louise 's eldest sister , proposed the tall and rich Prince Albert of Prussia , but Queen Victoria disapproved of another Prussian marriage that would have been unpopular in England . Prince Albert was also reluctant to settle in England as required . William , Prince of Orange was also considered a suitor , but because of his extravagant lifestyle in Paris , where he lived openly with a mistress , the Queen quickly vetoed the idea .
