Countess Amalie Sofie von Holstein née von Buchwaldt (1748-1823), was a Danish noblewoman and courtier of German origin, known for her love life and unconventional life style, known in history as one of the Three Graces of the Danish royal court.
She married courtier Count Ulrik Adolf von Holstein in 1763.
As a result, the king appointed her spouse to a post in the Danish countryside, which reportedly they both found a less than pleasing place to reside.
Upon the recommendation of the queen's friend Christine Sophie von Gähler, her spouse was given a political post by the queen's lover Johann Friedrich Struensee in 1770, which made it possible for the pair to return to court, and Amalie Sofie Holstein became a leading member of court life.
[1] After the coup, her spouse was forced to resume his old post in the countryside, effectively banishing them from court once again.
