There is an Archduchess Marie Valerie. She is the daughter of Archduke Hubert Salvator of Austria, Prince of Tuscany (ie, of the Tuscan Branch of the House of Habsburg) and Princess Rosemary zu Salm-Salm. She was born in 1941 and married Max, Margrave of Baden, Head of the Grand Ducal House of Baden. Max is the son of Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark, one of Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh's sisters.

There are dozens of young Archdukes and Archduchesses. Apart from their parentage and dates of birth, very little is known about most of them; they keep a low profile and do not attract attention (or scandal). They appear to be as discreet as the equally numerous Liechtenstein Princes and Princesses.
