  1. One question, Why isn't any newspapers have any nformation about the wedding? Wikipedia doesn't have any information about Archduke Imre. I never herd of him and I wanted to see if he was a real person? I am in a debate with someone over the topic. Please enlightem me. The person I'm debating with says he's not a real person due to lack of informaiton via newspapers or royal registeries such as Almach de gotha or burkes peerage. Again, thank you.

  2. The reason there is little information about him and this wedding because the Royal Family of Austria is defunct. He is a pretender to the Austrian Throne. If Austria were ever to go back to being a monarchy, he would likely be an Archduke of the country someday. However, the likelihood of that is very slim. The titles and styles are out of courtesy only, similar to the German titles. The Austrian Monarchy went defunct after WWI, in 1918. He is the son of Archduke Carl Christian of Austria, whose grandfather was the last reigning Archduke of Austria. Now, the Royal Family Austria lives private lives with extremely limited public engagements, thus why there was little information on this wedding. It took me FOREVER to gather this information-much of which (bridal party, siblings, etc) was taken from another Royal Blog, RoyalMusings, who had the opportunity to visit the church where the wedding took place. The likely reason they do not appear in either Almach de gotha or burkes peerage is because they have no connection to the British Royal Family, which is what both are based upon.
    Hope that helps!

  5. You listed as ushers:
    Archduke Michael of Austria (groom's uncle)
    Archduke Franz Ludwig of Austria (groom's uncle)

    Michael and Franz Ludwig are not the groom's uncles. They are his cousins and the sons of his father's brother, Archduke Rudolf of Austria.

  6. I got the information from Royal Musings, so there is no need to attack me about it. Thanks for the correction though!
