Another video also showing some members of the family. In particular the last remaining brothers Otto, Felix and Rudolph, also Karl as current head of the family.

Enjoy!

Some sites only display videos for a short time.

oh.. I did manage to see some clips though of the Royal funeral, it was very solemn, Infact very traditional, as one notes the priests where wearing black chasubles, black was removed from the liturgy since the council in 1964, only very traditional priests still use them, even the style of the chasuble used in the funeral was that of the Roman Chasuble 'fiddleback' which is seldom used, instead they use the 'Gothic chasuble', all the use of these antique traditions give of a sense of solemnity to the event. May he rest in peace Amen.

The Archduke died on December 11th, 2007, and his funeral was on January 12th, 2008; why did all this time pass between the death and the funeral?

What is the name of this company? Has ownership of this company passed on to his children or was it sold?

Perhaps this is the reason Carl-Christian moved his family from Geneva to Brussels after many years?
