The von Neippergs have a website about their wines:

Vignobles von Neipperg - Saint milion - Ctes de Castillon - Pessac Lognan - Sauternes - Puisseguin Saint milion

Perhaps you can take it from there?

(I'm sorry I can't give out any further details but I don't have any permission to do so. )

Which Archduchess of Austria do you wish to contact? There are plenty of them and they live all over Europe, I believe.....

I don't know if there are any Habsburgs in this forum but I do know that some belong/ed to my other forum.....

I believe Archduke Geza, from time to time, entertains requests from writers/historians. At least from a couple or so years ago.

Apparently it's a niece of her husband.

I recently came across a Karen von Habsburg-Lothringen from the UK. I checked the Gotha and other reliable source, but could not find who she is. After googleing a bit, I found out her name is/was KAREN RUTH ELAINE THOMPSON from Windlesham, Surrey, UK. Could it be she married a Habsburg, but whom? Any idea?

Maybe Countess Hemma von Neipperg?

And now her nephew (Hemma's brother) got married:

[izabela84]

Yes, it was wedding of Hemma Neipperg and Keno Specht.

Archduchess Walburga attended the republical convention in Tampa last week.

Marlene Eilers Koenig wrote an opinionated blog entry about it, which IMHO makes a lot of sense:

Royal Musings: Archduchess Walburga of Austria and the GOP

[Biri]

For Prince Johannes of Lobkowicz (b.1954) & his wife Johanna, nee Countess of Castell-Castell (b.1952) this year will be a doubly happy year;
whereas for
Archduchess Andrea of Austria (b.1953) & her husband, Hereditary Count Karl Eugen von Neipperg (b.1951) it will be a triply happy
Giving that their children:

Prince Wenzel of Lobkowicz (b.4 December 1986)
&
Countess Katharina of Neipperg (b.3 April 1986)

were married civilly in Schwaigern (Germany) on 30 August and religiously in Drahenice (Czech Republic) on 1 September!

Sources: Neipperg
Lobkowicz
Descendants of Archduke Franz Karl of Austria
Descendants of Duke Wilhelm of Nassau

Older sister of Wenzel, Sophie (b.1980) as well as two older siblings of Katharina, Hemma (b.1983) and Dominik (b.1981) also got married this year.

[Stefan]

And both Wenzel of Lobkowicz and Maria Anna of Salm-Salm are grandchildren of the Fürst and Fürstin zu Castell-Castell who saw the marriages of 4 of their grandchildren this year.

[Biri]

Yes, those of Maria-Anna, Cecily, Sophie and Wenzel; however, I don't know if they were present at these weddings (if at all they were on any - they are already very old)

And Maria-Anna is Wenzel's maternal first cousin, so her husband became now Wenzel's brother-in-law!


Also among the great-grandchildren of Emperor Karl I and Empress Zita this is a year full of weddings:
Dominik, Hemma and Katharina von Neipperg
Mark Teran d'Antin
Imre and Christoph of Austria - six in total!

[MarleneKoenig]

Maria Krystina was not an archduchess but a princess of Altenburg.. Karl Albert's marriage to a Swedish woman was morganatic,

I was wondering why the Habsburg family uses the tiara's from the Luxemburg family.
Where are their own jewels? Surely as such an important family, they must have (had) tiara's etc of their own.

There are notz many tiara in the Habsburg Family frome earlier tomes. Probalby most of them have been sold. There where also sold some pieces in the early 1920's which where not to sold. For example thedescendants of Archduke Robert (including Princess AStid of Belgium) have 2 tiaras which belong to Archduchess Margherita and came from the Saqvoy Family. BNut there is a tiara in this branch of the Family. It was worn by the grrom's aunts Alexandra and Constanza on her Wedding Day's and also by the bride of hisn cosuin Carl Christian. It may come frome the de Ligne Family.
Also in the Main brach (the descendatns of Archduke Otto) there are only 2 tiara. A diamond and pearl bandeau which belonged to Empress Zita and Archduchess Francesca has an diamond and merald wreath tiara. This ne had originally belonged to Empress Auguste Viktoria and was later sold (as far as i remember by the Hannovers). Archduchess Regina also had the big diamond tiara which was a Wedding gift tom the future Empress Zitra by Emperor Franz Joseph. I. Regina wore it at her Wedding Day and once later at the Wedding of Archduke Robert. It hasn't been seen since then and is most likely not in the Family anymore. Archduchess Regina has given parts of her Wedding Jewels to the Muttergottesstatue at Mariazell so perhaps it was among them.
