Archduke Otto (1912-2011) and his family

I suggest that as this is the Habsburg Imperial Family thread, we observe the Habsburg Spanish Court Protocol
and refrain from posts other then concerning the passing of the Archduke Otto untill sunday july 17th after 19.00,
ECT,as would have been the case in public life in an Austria still under Habsburg rule.Thank you..you to Eric...

The Austrian Parliament passed a law just over a month ago,or rather got rid of one,in which Members of the House of Habsburg
were excluded from running for the office of President of Austria.Archduke Otto would have made a great President,maybe the best
they never had.

not every day you witness the death and funeral of the Last Crown Prince of the Austrian - Hungarian Empire.....

Ladies in waiting should do what they are for...Wait.As would the Mitzi´s of this world.As would have beenn
the case had the Empire still be in tact.

That shouldn't be too difficult now would it!.Thank you.I´ve kindly requested this for the third time now.
Especially you CH...observe!No comment.
