This article was written before Pope John Paul II's October 3, 2004 beatification of Emperor Karl.

 

[Cory]

Any hope for a sooner canonization?

 

[Biri]

And what about the beatification of Empress Zita?

 

[Cory]

The diocesan process for the beatification of Empress Zita started as far as I know.

 

[XeniaCasaraghi]

Just learned of these 2 browsing amazon for books on Maria Therese. One of the books that came up was about the Queens and Empresses during WWI including Zita.

Zita had such a hard life. A throne that had become untenable, exile, a tragically brief marriage which left her with a large family to bring up on her own, just very sad.

A lot of Women had such a hard life. The Beatification of Empress Zita is asked from France since years without any succes.

I was in Vienne last week , they are complelety forgotten.
In Batsilava in an old k u k tea room i saw a sculpture of Tne Emperor , a Painting of Empress Sissi and a small painting of Emperor Karl.

The President of Austria allowed Official Funerals for Empress Zita and for Archduke Otto in St Sefan's Dom with Kaiser Hymn because they were the last ones.

I found this picture from Gettyimages. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/...ker-csu-österreich-dsohn-news-photo/541472475

I can see Zita, Otto and his wife Regina, and also Robert and his wife Margherita.
Can anyone identify the other people? I guess they were the other children of Karl and Zita, and their spouses.
