[semisquare]

[EmpressRouge]

I'm guessing Sisi of Austria too.

[semisquare]

sorry everyone no one guess it
her name is countress elizabeth bathory of transylvania. and just like anyother story that comes from that part of the country,blood plays a part in her life. the short of it, she thought by takening baths in blood would keep her young & beautiful forever. after over 600 women went missing elizabeth was caught. she spent the rest of her life wall up in a room which had an opening for food.
history never needs to be doctor up for drama, wouldn't u agree?

That was a good one semisquare. I've got one:
He wasn't a royal, but was immensely rich and held a gov't position. His royal connections come via his wives. His first wife left him for a prince, and his third wife's ex-husband was the grandson of a king. Who was he?

[semisquare]

can we have another hint?

[EmpressRouge]

He lived during the 20th century. Also, think beer.

[semisquare]

[EmpressRouge]

Give up? I'll post the answer in a few hours.

[semisquare]

i give all i could find was info about aruther and that he or maybe it was his son had 20 children. then out of the 20 children only 10 live to adulthood. that one was good empress. i just love puzzles.

Answer is Loel Guinness. I guess he claimed to be an heir to the beer fortune but they are not sure if he is actual descendent of Arthur Guinness. His first wife, the Honourable Joan Yarde-Buller, left him for Prince Aly Khan. Khan was the son of Aga Khan III, leader of the Ismaili Muslims and descendent of the prophet Muhammed, but better known as an international playboy who would later marry Hollywood star/sex symbol Rita Hayworth. Today, Aly's son is the current leader, Aga Khan IV, well known for his horse breeding as well as his expensive divorce from his first wife.
Guinness' third wife was international socialite and member of the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame, Gloria Guinness (née Gloria Rubio y Alatorre). She was one of writer Truman Capote's four "Swans" and was once called the "most elegant woman in the world." Loel was Gloria's third (official) husband. Her second (official) husband was Ahmed Fakhr, a grandson of King Faud I of Egypt and nephew of King Farouk I and Princess Fawzia (ex-empress of Iran as she was the first wife of Shah Muhammed Reza Pahlavi) of Egypt. Loel and Gloria's son and daughter, respectively, from each's first marriage ended up getting married. Wow that was long.
