New Career For Archduchess Francesca?

The vivacious Archduchess Francesca, wife of the head of the Austrian Imperial family is playing a small role in a costume drama for the Austrian television. The series created by ORF is Vienna’s famous Hotel Sacher and is set in the belle epoque. ‘Das Sacher’ is directed by Robert Dornhelm, a friend of the Archduchess. In her film debut Francesca has a small role as an English diplomat.

For the cast presentation earlier this month the Archduchess wore her hair up, and paired her costume with a pearl choker and diamond earrings. Francesca’s mother, Fiona Campbell-Walter also attended the press presentation.
