Maybe they mixed it up?

There was a pic in an austrian paper of Emanuele Musini, Princess Maria Annonciata and a little child at the Fugger Babenhausen wedding. A poster posted it on Nobiliana. It had to be deleted, because it is against the rules. Bunte had also a report of this wedding and announced that Emanuele and Annonciata had a nearly 5 month old son. An official source confirmed me that that information was correct. The family is very private. Name and exact birthdate remain private.

I saw the picture of Princess Marie Astrid and Princess Alessandra of Hannover in a church with a child. Could be her own child but I did not ask for confirmation. Information coming from IG or other social media will not be confirmed by official sources
