Lüth described the queen as nervous and pessimistic the days following the revolution. She did not wish to hear sermon, she had her books packed ready to leave if necessary, and advised her sister princess Friederike to leave Greece since she could no longer guarantee her safety. The king and queen wrote to king Louis of Bavaria to ask for his assistance, but the queen remarked that they could not expect a reply for six weeks, and by that time „und Gott weiss wo wir dann sind“ ['God's know how things stand']. On the queen's name day no ball was given at the Palace: "... it was not seen wise, one would not risk having a Gustav III Masquerade. There are daily rumours that Athens will be set alight on all four corners, so to speak, and everyone massacered."
