In his will, which was published publicly in the "Mercure galant" and the "Gazette d’Amsterdam", he didn't mention them with a single word. Liselotte personally burned the love letters he had exchanged with his lovers so that they would not fall into the hands of the notaries: "...in the boxes I looked up all the letters the boys wrote to him, and then spent them unread it might not come into contact with others". She wrote to her aunt Sophia: "I must confess that I was much more saddened than I am if Monsieur had not done so "böße officien" (that is, 'bad services') to the King and always did so much worthless boys preferred to let me...". Her attitude towards the deceased's "mignons" was no longer prudish, but rather serene: when she was reported in 1702 that the Earl of Albemarle, lover of the recently deceased King William III of England, almost died of heartache, she remarked dryly: "We have not seen such friends here with my lord...".
