Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar Prince Metternich-Winneburg is most famous memeber of house Metternich. But what about his siblings, wives and children?
Klemens had two siblings, Kunigunde, married (when she was nearly fifty years old) to Duke Ferdinand of Württemberg, and younger brother Joseph. Is anything more known about them? Did they anyhow share the fame and position of their brother?
Kunigunde (b. 29 Nov 1771, d. 23 Jun 1855); m. 23 Feb 1817 Duke Ferdinand of Württemberg
Joseph Lothar Clemens (b. 14 Nov 1774, d. 9 Dec 1830); m. Juliane Franziska Pss Sulkowska
Klemens Metternich was three times married, his wives were:
Marie Eleonore Pss von Kaunitz-Rietberg (b. 1 Oct 1775, d. 19 Mar 1825)
Maria Antonia von Leykam, cr 1827 Countess von Beylstein (b. 15 Aug 1806- d. 17 Jan 1829)
Melanie Gfn Zichy (b. 28 Jan 1805, d. 3 Mar 1854)
Are there any pictures of them? His second marriage was found scandalous, because Maria Antonia was very beautiful, but not rich and not from high society. I know, there is a beautiful portrait of her, standing on terrace, but i did not find it on web.

Most of children from first marriage died very young, only two daugters survived their father. Favourite child of Clemens was his firstborn daughter, Maria. Her early death devastated him (moreover two months before her death died her younger sister Clementina).
Any informations and pictures of his children?
