The Habsburgs / Re: Archduke Josef Karl (1833-1905),his family and descendants

In 1970 the Imperial Crypt in Buda where the Hungarian Habsburgs are buried was sacked and their coffins opened.

The link I send you has many pictures of this + some pictures and paintings of Joseph's family, among them a new one of his daughter Archduchess Klothilde. On another picture you can clearly see the shape of Princess Clotilde's nose.
I forgot to say, to see those pictures you have to click on ''Képek'' (means photo in Hungarian I think).
At the end of this page you can see a telegram (from 1867) either written by Metternich or addressed to him, but can't find the link between this and the sacked crypt. It says (in French):
''The Emperor wants you to go to Mentone and thank Emperor Napoléon (III) for his gracious measure (??)''.
It seems that the site contains lots of information on the family, but unfortunately I do not speak Hungarian. Could someone sum up what it says?
