Thanks. I had wondered whether the family would be vacationing in Porte Ercole considering the birth of Princess Alexia.

I doubt they're going because the estate is up for sale. *sadness*

My guess is that they don't need two estates in Italy because they're too busy to go to either very often.

I believe they are putting the estate up for sale because this was Prince Bernhard's wish before he died. The money from the sale of the property is to be divided equally among his six daughters.

Yes, that's right. Prince Bernhard thought that it would be easier to divide the estate he left if there was mostly money, which makes sense to me. But of course the house might have some personal attachments to the royals, as they surely have a lot of good memories from it.
