Duke Miguel of Braganza and his family

Are sure that he is dom Miguel II et his second spouse??? I doubt....

REMI

I think so. Who do you think it is? In Getty Images it was named as "Miguel and his wife".

D.Miguel II and his second wife D. Maria Theresa de Loewenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg

Miguel and his first children from the first marriage.



Miguel, Duke of Viseu. He looks like a Thurn and Taxis, and not like a Braganza. But Franz Joseph looks like a Braganza.

Maria Teresa and Karl Ludwig of Thurn and Taxis

Great photos.

Thank you for sharing.

I once asked for a photo of Kar-Ludwig of Thurn und Taxis to fill the gap in my own archive.

Now I just need one of the Invisible man: Count Douglas, Queen Augusta Viktoria's 2nd husband.

The man seemed to be alergyc to photos.

Not a single one of him can be traced.

Were Miguel, Franz Joseph and Maria Theresa close to their grandmother Helene of Thurn und Taxis? Any pictures? They were after all her only grandchildren. Her son Albert married only after Helene died.

Informations about Helene are really rare.
I know that Maria Teresa had a good relationship to Helenes son Albert (who was her uncle) and married in St. emmeram Karl Ludwig.

I wonder why is it so difficult information about Helene. Some embarrassing stories perhaps??   I heard the access to the archives is also extremely difficult.

Yes...especially the supposed attachment of Helene with a priest in her later years. Not exactly "The Thorn Birds" kind of situation.

Helene was a Wittelsbach. I don´t believe that her life was so boring. There are no dairies or many letters. But Helene wrote a lot in her life, that´s strange.

Indeed. When one sees the romantic lives of her sisters..... maybe Helene asked all her correspondence and diaries to be burned after her death.

I didn't know about the attachament of Helene to a priest. Where did you read it?

It was well known in Regensburg at the time and people did comment on it. It was included in a German book on the Houseo f Thurn & Taxis...

I see. Do you mean the book on Thurn und Taxis by Martha Schad?

No the one with a portrait of Johanes, Gloria and her children...
