During the presentation of the Literary Prize of the Three Crowns at the Château d'Arcangues on 26 April , the Archduke Imre presented the prize for the "Society" essay to General Pierre Gillet, walker, hiker and pilgrim on his Pyrenean lands.

For the 100th anniversary of Grand Duke Jean's birth, the Grand-Ducal Court of Luxembourg mentions her under the name HIRH Archduchess Gabriella of Austria, though I don't know whether the Court asked Gabriella how she wished to be referred to, and it has made mistakes before.

The Court now uses HRH Princess for Gabriella's daughter Victoria de Bourbon Parme. Prior to her parents' marriage, it did not use a title when referring to Victoria.

Now, she uses "Gabriella de Bourbon-Parme" on her Facebook account. From the link, I think she changed it from "Gabriella Habsburg Lothringen".

[Stefanie]

Thank you, friends!
I have the feeling they are done with children. I mean, Imre isn' t a millionaire and four children is a lot!

 

[Biri]

And I think they are staunch Roman Catholics and don't recognize artificial contraceptives.

And Kathleen is only 36.

Interesting that Imre who has some American ancestry through the de Ligne family and married an American.

Might be an actual photo and Katie might be pregnant....

Archduke Imre can be excellently photographed whether he is wearing eyeglasses or not.

Just curious: It' s so silent
in the family. No news about Imre and Katie or other members of the family?

Well, they aren’t a reigning family. They live in Switzerland and I think Imre and Katie have chosen to be more quiet and private after all their outspoken views on abortion and all some years ago. Marie-Gabriella and Henri of Bourbon-Parma are busy with their children and life, most of Archduke Karl Christians children are private.

Contact Information

I'm curious if Marie-Astrid and Carl-Christian's family respond to fan letters. I know Kathleen and Imre have in the past, although things seem quiet lately. Does anyone know if the rest of the family also sends out letters and cards? I have seen reply cards from Christoph and Adelaide's wedding, as well as some old cards from the Limburg-Stirum family, but I'm not sure if they still reply. If anyone has any information, could you please share the address to use?

Thank you.

Imre and Kathleen Austria expect their fifth child in about two months according to a photo at Alexandra Luxembourgs wedding.
They already have four daughters.

Alexander seems to have a girlfriend, holding hands with her at Alexandra' s wedding.

There was a Count Nicolas RP born in 1906, which *could* be her great-grandfather. He was born in Russia and later a commander of the French Foreign Legion. He died in Paris.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Roumiantzoff

If you google the name mosts results will lead to Switzerland so perhaps that is where part of the family settled.

Montreux is a lovely town. I believe the Archduke's parents are living in nearby Geneva?

I think she’s distantly related to Count Nicholas or to the family. Maybe she’s from an untitled branch of that family or she simply never used the title “countess”

 

[Marengo]

I was not able to find the family in any genealogy database yet. The foundation of mr. Nicolas RP seems to be located in the Vaud area in Switzerland. I assume it must be controlled by his descendants. Or in the absence of them any other close relatives.
