The marriage of Mary remained childless and her husband died after only three years of marriage, so her sister followed her as Grand Duchess of Tuscany.
In 1859 the family lost the throne in Tuscany and went into exile. Mary lived from then on, partly in Schlackenwerth in Bohemia, but almost exclusively in Dresden as a guest of her brother John and the Dowager Queen Maria Anna. A particularly close relationship she had with her sister Amalia. Mary was awarded the Star Cross Order and the Royal Mary - Louise Order. She died at Schloss Brandeis Brandys nad Labem in today - Stara Boleslav, which belonged to the private property of the family of Austria- Tuscany, and was buried in the crypt of the Capuchin Crypt Ferdinand in Vienna.
