Did Isabelle (the younger) remarry after the annullment from George of Bavaria?

No, she didn't.

So the best thing to do is to get the book, or I can scan some (or all) of the pics...  

It's impossible to scan all of them if you want to do something else in your life, too  ...  

I think in this book are a few pics of Natalie and Stéphanie who died quite young. Does anybody have some more pics of the two girls?

Is this the family? It was from a Hungarian site. It says Archduchess Isabella on the dulcimer.

The set was sold by Sotheby's in 2001.



It turned up (on loan I believe) shortly thereafter on Joan Rivers at the Golden Globes.

That's right. I think there's a bigger version of this pic in the photobook which I've already mentioned. Maybe it is possible to identify the other people.

How did Isabella meet Fredrick?
Did they have an  arranged marriage or was it  a love match? Also, was Isabella French, Belgian or German?

Scanning any of them is really impossible now, because my scanner said NO. Until we (me & my scanner) become friends again, here's a small portrait study of son Albrecht from 1917 by the celebrated Hungarian portraitist oh his age, Gyula Benczur. (As a young boy, Albrecht was a popular motif: there are some sculptures of him by Alajos Strobl - in THAT book there are some pics showing Albrecht as a young boy in the Atelier of Strobl. If my scanner worked...   )

Thank you very much, dboro! Young Albrecht was a very handsome young man, I think! (I hope you and your scanner will be friends again soon! )

You're welcome. Do you (or does anyone) know any picture of Albrecht showing him in the later time of his life. The last picture in THAT book is from 1918, and I've managed to find on the web only this:

thanks,

Albrecht was a thoroughly spoiled boy, a terrible husband and among a very small number of Habsburgs who courted Fascists.

How did she felt regarding her son's first marriage?
When he married his second and third wife she was already deceased.

This picture shows Isabelle, daughter of Isabella and Friedrich, and her husband Georg of Bavaria, a grandson of Emperor Franz Joseph.  Isabelle and Georg married on February 10th 1912 at Schönbrunn. The marriage was annuled in 1913. Georg became priest in 1921.

Why did Georg marry Isabelle then?  

If he wanted to be priest, couldn't he choose that a little bit earlier?
Or was Isabelle such a bad wife or was Georg gay?

What a nice question.  

In the book "Die Habsburger - Ein biographisches Lexikon" by Brigitte Hamann it is said that the marriage was annuled because Isabelle and Georg didn't consummate it.  
Adalbert of Bavaria, who wrote many books about his family, doesn't say a word about the reasons.
Gisela, Georg's mother, was very sad. It was an unpleasant story for both of the families.
