Archduchess Margherita was born in 1930, the elder daughter of Prince Amedeo of Savoy, 3rd Duke of Aosta and Princess Anna of Bourbon-Orléans. She married Archduke Robert (1915-1996) in 1953. She is the mother of Archduke Lorenz of Austria-Este who is married to Princess Astrid of Belgium; Archduke Martin, who married Princess Katharina von Isenburg last year; and two daughters who married Counts. So far Margherita has 15 grandchildren.

Archduchess Anna-Eugenie was born a Princess of Arenberg in 1925. Her parents were Prince and Duke Robert of Arenberg and Princess Gabrielle von Wrede. She married Archduke Felix in 1952, and died in 1997. Her husband, born in 1916, is still alive. None of their seven children have made particularly glittering marriages.

Archduchess Yolande was born in 1923, the younger daughter of Eugene, 12th Prince de Ligne, and Philippine de Noailles. She married Archduke Carl Ludwig in 1950. One of their sons, Archduke Rudolf, has 8 children; the other son, Archduke Carl Christian, is married to Princess Marie Astrid of Luxembourg. One of the two daughters, Archduchess Constanza, married Franz Josef, then Hereditary Prince of Auersperg-Trauttson.
