I remember his first wedding, because Diana wore this bright, red traditional wedding gown. Hopefully the second marriage works out better.
 
He was previously married (since 2010) to Diana Orgovanyi-Hanstein (b.1971) [daughter of Attila Orgovanyi-Hanstein (1946-1987) & his wife Britta, nee Winternitz (1941-2015) with whom he reportedly divorced in 2015; the marriage wasd childless.


Attila Orgovayi-Hanstein, father of former Princess Diana von Schwarzenberg, is in fact second cousin of Archduchess Francesca of Austria as his grandmother, Baroness Hedwig von Berg is the only sister of Francesca's grandfather, Baron Heinrich von Thyssen-Bornemissza de Kászon et Impérfalva...

Apart from being second cousin once removed to an Archduchess Francesca of Austria, interesting fact is also that Diana has descended from Habsburgs themselves...
 
Riario-Sforza is an impressive surname to have.

Yes, for sure.

Donna Francesca is great-granddaughter of Nicolo, 7th Duke of Riario-Sforza and as such is a descendant of many ancient Italian noble families such as Farnese, Barberini, Borromeo, Pallavicini, Colonna, Ruffo, Medici.

What is more interesting is that she is related to her husband, Prince Johannes zu Schwarzenberg.

They are both descendants of Johann Joseph, Fürst von Khevenhüller-Metsch.
 
Princess Tatiana Galitzine (b.16 August 1984) {daughter of Prince Peter Galitzine (b.1955) & his wife Maria Anna, nee Archduchess of Austria (b.1954)] remarried her former husband Guillermo Sierra (b.1984) on 29 April.
They married firstly on 28 November 2015; their marriage was annulled in 2016.
Mr. Sierra was married previously and has a son by his first wife.

Lidwine is third of four children, younger daughter and second one who marries; her sister Marie (b.1980) is married since 2007 to Georg Friedrich Baur (b.1978) and they have thrtee children: Cecilia (b.2008), Carlotta (b.2010) & Georg Friedrich jr. (b.2013)
