While the Prince was victorious over the enemy, the Princess enjoyed victories on the love front.
Despite the fact that Catherine Bagration lived in Europe, it was a sincere patriot. In Vienna she arranged the salon, which receives all the cream of society, do not approve the policy of Napoleon.

the Emperor Alexander I.
Officially spy in favor of the Russian Empire Catherine Bagration did not make, but in 1814, at the ball given on the occasion of the Congress of Vienna, the Emperor Alexander I thanked the Princess (who was his mistress too) for the valuable information which it shared in the French wars.
One of his contemporaries wrote:" Secret agent of Russia called, for example, the beautiful Princess Catherine Bagration @- smart and nimble scheming, woman in the highest degree frivolous. During the Congress of Vienna the Emperor Alexander visited her in the evenings and during these visits, zatyagivaetsya until late hours listening to his interesting posts".

When Catherine Bagration moved from Vienna to Paris, we met her by the surveillance, all the servants had been bribed. The local police was in full confidence that the Princess continues its spying activities. The police came reports about this:" This lady is very famous in high society, thanks to the political influence and coquetry. On Monday evening, quite late, left her two poles, and one of them, count Stanislaw Potocki, returned. Similar tricks happen often. Their heroes become one or the other cavalier.

Princess Ekaterina Pavlovna Bagration, who shined in the early nineteenth century.
meanwhile, the Bohemian of Paris continued to admire the brilliant Princess. The aristocrats considered it an honor to be accepted into her salon. Honore de Balzac openly declared that the Princess Bagration became the prototype for one of the characters in his novel" Shagreen skin". He described it this way:" she"s about eighty thousand livres of income, she doesn"t love anyone, and maybe no one loves her! A kind woman-загадка, half-Russian refugee, polarisa Russian woman! The woman who published all romantic works, not appearing in print, the most beautiful woman in Paris, most seductive".
In 1830, the Duchess married again. Her choice was the English General and diplomat Caradoc. Catherine Bagration did not take her husband"s name, who was 16 years her younger. Some time later, they divorced. In 1857 Catherine Pavlovna did not. She died at the age of 75.
