Everything Changed When He Met This Man
The King had accepted that his future will contain a wife and children, no matter how depressing it made him. However, things improved for the King when, just before saying ‘I do’ to Sophie, Ludwig met a groom from his stable named Richard Hornig. The two spent increasingly more time together, riding horses and meeting at secluded castles. One day, they decided to pursue their passion in France. Despite still being betrothed to Sophie, the King went on a romantic holiday with Richard while posing as Count von Berg. If there was ever any doubt about the King’s sexuality, it was eliminated following this voyage. Ludwig had no desire to marry a woman, and time couldn’t change that.

There Were No Wedding Bells
The more time Ludwig spent with Richard, the more he understood he couldn’t marry Sophie, let alone have children with her. However, he appeared to be in an untenable predicament and required time to plan out his next move. His approach was to postpone the wedding repeatedly. Finally, after repeatedly postponing the wedding and dragging his fiancée along, the King called it off. He informed Sophie that he viewed her “like a sister” and had been forced into the situation, concealing the true reason for his decision. Now that he was free of his commitments, Ludwig let his gaze roam.
