Yes, I've noticed this "phenomenon" as well and I feel very sorry for Archduke Otto.
Btw, I know Pöcking where they live/lived very well and I hope the Archduchess enjoyed it to live at this beautiful place during her last years. May she rest in peace.

as I understood the archduchess will be burried later on together with her husband in the kapuzinergruft in vienna. this might be otto's plan to be burried together (on the same day?) with his wife in the kapuzinergruft.

Infanta Maria Adelaide of Bragança turned a few days ago 98 years, being born on 31 January 1912, and Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria-Tuscany, Archduchess by marriage but great-granddaughter of Emperor Franz Josef, who was born in 1913; and there are many Princes born during the war to be still alive, like Otto's brother Felix, or Princess dona Maria d'Orleans-Bragança, or Princess Henriette vuz Liechtenstein.

And if you include the mediatized Houses even more like Count Albert of Rechberg (born 1912), Duke Carl of Croy (born in 1914) whio was biorn short after the star of the War.

I think Lucien wanted to say that the passed away short after each other as it's often the case with Couples who are married for such a long time.

Princess Agnes of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg was born in 1902, her sisters Princess Theresia (born 1909) and Princess Maria-Anna (born 1914) are also still alive and of course Princess Karoline Matilde Vlangali-Handjeri, who was born on 6 October 1900.

I am sad to have to say this but did you really think they would now? After all they would be acknowledging a wrong committed by the founding of their very state.

I think the idea to be buried next to her parents at thefamily vault perfect. In Vienna there is no room for the Archiduchesses and 3 sons of Emperor Charles and Empress Zita are still alive , Otto , Felix and Rodolphe . They are all in the 90 ties.

I've never thought that Otto and Regina would be buried in the Kapuzinergruft, but in the new crypt in Muri, Switzerland, where are already buried Archduke Robert, Archduchess Xenia, the first wife of Rudolph, and their son Johannes, and Archduchess Anna Eugenie, the wife of Felix.
So I think that also Felix and Rudolph will be buried in Muri.
By the way, in the Kapuzinergruft there are at least three stone bases ready for at least three more Archdukes, as you can see in the pictures in this site; one of them is next to Archduke Carl Ludwig's grave, and I guess will be occupied by Archduchess Yolande.
