Another article here adds some more information.

The sentence appears to have been imposed as punishment for flouting all court orders surrounding the divorce settlement a judge awarded to his wife. He has refused to pay, and moved to Portugal to escape arrest and asset seizure.

It does seem like a hefty sentence, but I am no legal expert ?

Interestingly, when he attended Ascot in 2016, as a guest in the Royal Enclosure, he wore a name badge that identified him as 'Sir', but was later warned by Buckingham Palace not to do this, because his knighthood had been awarded in Antigua by a Catholic order, and was therefore not recognized in Britain. He apparently refused to comply, and continued to use the title.

Reading his Wikipedia article, he does not come across as an honourable man.

As mentioned earlier today in the Engagements thread the wedding between Archduke Josef Albrecht of Habsburg-Lothringen and Countess Sophie von Schaesberg took place today in the Bavarian town of Sünching. The bride's grandfather Baron Johann Carl von Hoenning O'Caroll owns Schloß Sünching.
Among the guests were the Duke and Duchess of Braganza, Lord Downpatrick, the Hereditary Prince Donatus of Schaumburg-Lippe and Princess Gloria of Thurn und Taxis.
The bride wore a dress by the Spanish designer Lorenzo Caprile and the groom wore the rosette of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
The Archduke belongs to the Hungarian branch of the House of Habsburg and is descended from Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie through his Hohenberg mother.

The groom is also the 7th Joseph in a direct line descending from Emperor Leopold II.s son Archduke Joseph. And all of them have made great noble marriages.

It's definitely a branch of the house whose members still predominantly chose their spouses from within the nobility.

The Palatinate branch and “original Hungarian” branch of the family and they’re very quiet in comparison to the main lines. Isn’t Joseph’s grandmother, Princess Maria a cousin of Queen Paola of Belgium? Why did Karl’s brother move to Hungary when the Palatinate branch was already there.

This sounds very good, albeit I wonder - and hopefully this appears not too impolite - ... so, they married at the castle and seat of the family of the bride.

Very much like she is the good catch somehow...

Schloß Sünching is a fantastic place though given that the family arranges weddings there they're probably not rolling in cash. Like most other families in their position their wealth is in bricks and mortar.

Yes, the late grandmother of the groom, born Princess Maria of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg (1935-2018) was a second cousin of Queen Paola, both great-granddaughters of Count Felice Rignon

Descendants of Count Felice Rignon

A few years ago it years it was also featured in "Wo Grafen schlafen" a TV.-Series where Archduke Eduard visited several nobles in their Castles. At that time the late BAroness Katalin, the grandmother of yesterdays bride was still alive.

To marry at the the place from where the bride is, is still commion in noble circles, even if sometimes the bride is a commoner and they don't have a large posession and the groom's Family has a Castle etc.



It is the seat of the bride's maternal grandfather, which will appparently taken over by her her mother who is the only child of Baron Zdenko. Her paternal Family has their seat at another Castle. But as her parents are divorced she probably spend more time at Sünching
