Elżbieta Przewłocka, nee Princess Czartoryska died in Otwock on 23 September.

She was born in Konarzewo (Poland) on 20 May 1926 as firstborn of eight children of Prince Roman Jacek Maria Czartoryski (1898-1958) & his wife Teresa, nee Countess Zamoyska (1902-1978)
She married in Puszczykowo (Poland) on 28 April 1951 Jan Henryk Janusz Przewłocki (1927-2007) [son of Henryk Jan Stanisław Przewłocki (1884-1946) & his wife, Countess Karolina Maria Hutten-Czapska (1891-1967), Polish engineer, teacher, publisher, collector and bibliophile, a democratic opposition activist in communist Poland] by whom she had two children: Grzegorz (b.1952) & Dorota (b.1953).
She is survived by them, three grandchildren: Marta (b.1979), Maciej (b.1981) & Jerzy (b.1991) [children of Dorota & her late husband Krzysztof Łepkowski (1953-2004)] and one great-grandson Pablo Aceves (b.2008) [son of Marta & her husband Anhel Aceves (b.1980)

From her seven siblings only two, Anna Maria Ksawera (b.1932, widow of Prince Albert Hieronim Radziwiłł) & the youngest, Stanisław (b.1939) are still alive.

Curiosity: her living sister, Anna Maria Ksawera has been blessed with a very big family: from her three children she has twenty grandchildren and (as for now) sixteen great-grandchildren.

No, two children from the late Eugénie de Guerre, gravin Wolff Metternich indeed married a De Marchant et d'Ansembourg but distantly related:

Thibaud de Guerre (1960) married Anastasia gravin de Marchant et d'Ansembourg. Her parents are Charles graaf de Marchant et d'Ansembourg (1933) and Kyra Livia barones van Harinxma thoe Slooten (1938). Thibaud and Anastasia live at Hillenraedt Castle (picture) near Roermond, the Netherlands.

Valérie de Guerre (1963) married Thomas graaf de Marchant et d'Ansembourg. His parents were Amaury graaf de Marchant et d'Ansembourg (1930-1999) and Micheline Le Boeuf (1929-1979). Valérie and Thomas live at Château d'Assenois (picture) near Bastogne, Belgium.

Spicy rumour: the Belgian journalist Frédéric Deborsu claimed that King Philippe and Count Thomas had a (homosexual) relationship. They are very closely befriended since youth. The Count was outraged by the insinuation and denied any relationship with Philippe, except just being friends. He was one of the guests at the wedding of Philippe with Countess Mathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz.

An unimagnable tragedy touched Ducco Corsini, Duke of Castigliano (b.1964) & his wife Clotilde, nee Trentignalia de Daverio (b.1964)

The oldest of their three children and only son, Prince Filippo Corsini di Sismano (b.Toscana 14 March 1995) was killed by being pulled under the wheel of a lorry in London, while he was cycling to the University on 31 October.

Beside his parents he bereft paternal grandparents: Filippo Corsini, Prince of Sisnano, Duke of Castigliano e Civitella (b.1937) & his wife Georgiana, nee Avogadro di Valdengo e di Colobbiano (b.1939) and two sisters: Elena Clarice (b.28 August 1997) & Selvaggia, who will turn nine in exactly three weeks (It will supposedly be the saddest birthday in her life - her brother whom she surely loved and admired was taken away from her...)

What a sad tragedy. Don Filippo was incredibly well-linked to almost all prestigious Italian noble families.

Tommaso Corsini, principe di Sismano (1835-1919)
x Anna Barberini Colonna (1840-1911)
= Filippo

Filippo Corsini (1873-1926)
x Lucrezia Rasponi (1879-1971)
= Tomasso

Tommaso Corsini, principe di Sismano (1903-1980)
x Elena Avogadro di Collobiano (1903-1980)
= Filippo

Filippo Corsini, Principe di Sismano (1937)
x Georgiana Avogadro di Collobiano (1939)
= Duccio

Duccio Corsini, Duca di Casigliano (1964)
x Clotilde Trentinaglia de Daverio (1964)
= Filippo (1995-2016)

The new heirs come from the younger son of the Corsini x Barberini Colonna matrimony mentioned above:

Tommaso Corsini, principe di Sismano (1835-1919)
x Anna Barberini Colonna (1840-1911)
= Andrea

Andrea Corsini, marchese di Giovagallo (1843-1895)
x Beatrice Bastogi (1849-1909)
= Lorenzo

Lorenzo Corsini (1875-1957)
x Caterina Ricasoli (1886-?)
= Neri

Neri Corsini (1909-1973)
x Laura Venturi Ginori Lisci, Marchesa di Riparbella (1913-1995)
= (1) Andrea Neri
= (2) Lorenzo Stefano

(1) Andrea Neri Corsini, Marchese di Giovagallo (1943)
x not married
= no issue

(2) Lorenzo Stefano Corsini (1946)
x Sandra Capacciolo (?)
= Neri

Neri Corsini (1980)
x Chiara Federica Mariani (1983)
= ?

RIP Margaret Rhodes. A lovely lady, I believe. This will hit the Queen hard, I'm sure. Unfortunately on of the many penalties of extreme old age is that so many loved ones pass on before you.
 
Sadly if the twenty five grandchildren of Claude, only five are still alive. Along with Elizabeth, there are two of the four children of her uncle Michael and the two kids of uncle David who were the closest age to the queen mum.
