The eldest son of the last emperor of Austria-Hungary died on July 4, at his home in Germany.
Otto von Habsburg had been heir to the emperor, head of the house of Habsburg, an outspoken anti-Nazi, Member of the European Parliament (for Bavaria), and a committed European. He played a role in the opening of the Iron Curtain.
His life spanned an age, and more.
As a friend of Prince Carlo Habsburg, I send my heartfelt condolences to all the members of the Royal House of Habsburg.
HIRH Archduke Otto von Habsburg was insturmental in the development of the European Union (featured in my book: A-Breaking Wave 2010) and now in my forthcoming coming book on Dynastic & Nobility Law, as co-author.
May his soul Rest In Peace.
Anybody with the nobility to gobsmack Ian Paisley in defence of his faith, is OK in my books. God bless the Emperor.
That was sad. Let’s just think that he is now with our creator but he is always be remembered. May he rest in peace.
