The members of the Order of St. George celebrated over 750 years together with the Archbishop of Prague, Cardinal Dominik Jaroslav Duka. Archduke Karl-Konstantin, nephew of Grand Master Karl, was ceremoniously inducted into the Order in the imposing Speyer Cathedral. The surprise of the event was that Eleonore, Karl's daughter and therefore great-granddaughter of the last emperor, is expecting her second child with husband Jérôme D'Ambrosio!
