In one of her letters, Amalia writes about the adventure she had when she was locked outside the Palace. She mentions: "...when Otto and I returned home, we could not enter our rooms, because some people had locked us out and they were all gathered upstairs.They were having a feast and they did not listen to us... One of the skirmishers who had the keys was late. As a result, we were roaming the corridors and trying to enter any room for some time without a result. I was quite amused by this story."
