The new Duke answerred questions by the press corps after the lenghty funeral Mass,the Inauguration and receiving the condolences of hundreds of guests.It must have been quite exhausting indeed.The intensive travelling,the ceremonies of over a week,but the children and family of the late Duke are immaculate,no trace of exhaustion,but still,it was intense.That and the heat in Parma,it is very sunny and very warm there now.This made many guests in church dip their heads with tissues,or used a beautifull fan's like the one HRH Princess Irene used.
Duke Carlo Saverio as he's known in Italy,gave an impressive speech in Italian,ending with warm loving words to his father in Spanish.
With his brother Prince Jaime by his side he answerred all questions by the press in a dignified patient way,even the one by the horribly persistent rude italian journalist who insisted on wanting to know the new weddingdate exclaiming;"My readers have a
right to know"...really...scumbags..But no,the Duke remained calm and answerred in Italian without revealing the new date.
This made the journalists of the Gazetta di Parma say;"He's good at it,very good of him" pointing at both the diplomatic and
language skills.
Later during the reception for the guests at the Teatro Regio it was clear how easily the children of the late Duke have conversations with each and everyone while changing from Italian to English to Spanish to Dutch without a problem,polyglots,all of them.Especially Princess Margarita switched form one language to another and was fluent in all.
The father of Duchess Annemarie,Hans Gualthérie van Weezel,thought it a beautifull and warm event on what would
have been his daughters wedding day.
A new wedding day is planned,but not disclosed yet but it will be this year as was the wish of the late Duke Carlos Hugo.
