 HSH Princess von Lieven line engraving by William Bromley, after a drawing by Sir Thomas Lawrence, published 1825; original in the Hermitage Museum. |
The Tsar’s mission marked Dorothea Lieven’s debut as a diplomat in her own right. She at least equaled her husband in importance. During Prince Lieven’s ambassadorship in England, (1812–1834) the Princess played a key role in the birth of modern Greece, and made a notable contribution to the creation of today’s Belgium. The appointment of Lord Palmerston as Foreign Secretary in 1830 is generally agreed to have been partly due to his friendship with Dorothea who lobbied Lord Grey on his behalf; however her belief that Palmerston would be reliably pro-Russian turned out to be a mistake.
