On July 2nd, 2005 archduke Maximilian of Austria got married to Ms. Maya Askari in Rome (at the Vatican actually).
Maya Askari was born in Iraq, and grew up and lives in London, where the couple met. The bride's gorgeous gown is designed by Giambatto Valli (previously working for Ungaro). Pictures from the wedding (Hola) Last edited by Elsa M.; 08-09-2006 at 06:28 PM. |

Actually, this guy is definitely not an archduke of Austria, since Austria has abolished aristocracy in 1918. Which means that technically speaking he's Maximilian Habsburg, no more, no less.

... belongs to Maximilian's mother archduchess Helene, née countess zu Toerring-Jettenbach, who inherited it from her mother Helena, née princess of Greece & Denmark, who inherited it from hers, née Grand Duchess of Russia. The first known owner of this piece is HI & RH Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia, née princess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

Also, if anyone cares, Grand Duchess Vladimir was only HIH after her marriage, as were all the who married into the IF. There was no dual kingdom. Prior to her marriage she was a (mere) Highness, but her Russian style of Imperial Highness outranked & replaced that style. Last edited by Sean.~; 07-16-2005 at 06:12 AM. |

The groom carried a uniform of the order of Malta, while the bride wore a gown in empire style, made by Giambattista Valli. The tiara was also worn by the groom's sister, Archduchess Sophie (now Fürstin zu Windisch-Graetz), on her own wedding day.
Information on this Fringe tiara can be found here: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/434961-post12.html Maya Askari is a writer and a member of the International Network for Contemporary Iraqi Artists. Last edited by Elsa M.; 08-09-2006 at 07:09 PM. |
