I didn't realize that "The red queen" was the aunt (or cousin?) of "The red Archduchess" Elisabeth of Austria (the daughter of Crown Prince Rudolph and Crown Princess Stephanie (born Princess of Belgium) who married after WWI. a social democrat prolitician and left most of her Habsburg-Inheritance to the Austrian citizens via the Austria State.
For those interested in genealogy: Elisabeth of Belgium was the daughter of Karl Theodor von Wittelbach, Duke in Bavaria whose sister was Elisabeth ("Sissi") empress of Austria and mother of Crown Prince Rudolph.
Interesting. Have to reread the biography of Archduchess Elisabeth to see if her cousin the Belgian queen is mentioned.
