Esterhazy

hi,

Does some one has information on the Esterhazy family? Who is the current prince Esterhazy, and does he still lives on the Austrian estates of the family? Is it a large family or is it a title close to extinction?

thanks

With some research I heard that the current prince is deinheriated by the last prince. Does some one know why this has happened?

strange...isn´t he the last male member of princely line? Who will be the heir then?

I heard one of them was rumoured to be the lover of both the Empress Elizabeth of Austria and her niece Baroness Wallersee.

Thanks for the info. Are they still rich ?

[beladona]

I think the princely line is still very rich, but as for the other branches I do not know...maybe someone else would have some informations...

[Eric_Lowe]

That is what I thought. Would love to know more information .

I read somewhere that the main line is rich while the other branches are rather poor...
