She was deeply conservative in her views and resented the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian union (1905), the Great Strike of 1909, the 1911 election victory of the radicals and the Socialists as well as the liberals, and when her son was temporary regent in 1912, she warned him in letters from Italy that he should not be too "intimate" with the elected government.
Mala veľmi konzervatívne názory a pohoršovalo ju rozpustenie švédsko-nórskej únie (1905), veľký štrajk (1909), víťazstvo radikálov a socialistov vo voľbách (1911), rovnako ako i liberálov a keď sa jej syn stal v roku 1912 regentom, varovala ho pred korešpondenciou z Talianska, že nesmie byť v úzkom kontakte s novozvolenou vládou.
