King Juan Carlos & Queen Sofia of Spain

[Benjamin]

Archduchess Helen is....? Is she a Habsbugs through marriage? I think she will rather be the wife of any Archduke than being a born Habsburg herself, not true?

Archduchess Helen of Austria (nee Gräfin zu Toerring-Jettenbach) is the widow of Archduke Ferdinand (1918-2004).

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes...I think daughter of Princess Elisabeth of Greece. 

[Eurohistory]

Look at the family trees in my version of My Fifty Years, there Archduchess Helen (named after her grandmother) is included. Her three children were all named after their ancestors: Elisabeth (for Elisabeth of Greece), Sophie (for Sophie in Bavaria) and Maximilian (for Maximilian, Emperor Karl's only brother).

Helen's son, Maximilian, named his firstborn son after his own greeat-grandfather, Prince Nicholas of Greece.

Odd that such a popular King has chosen to have his finances and spending audited.I know he lives a high life but only what seems appropriate to a sovereign.So hard working too.I'm not sure what the audit implies.

Transparency in a democracy is always the best path to follow.
