Saw this on the celebrity news thread but technically belongs in this thread just as much.

Tessa and Barron Hilton welcomed a daughter Milou Alizee Hilton on March 11.

Tessa is known as Tessa Hilton professionally but she is Countess Tessa June von Walderdorff. She is the daughter of photographer Count Franz von Walderdorff and his wife Anna-Sabrina Brühwiler. Her paternal grandmother Countess Marie Josepha von Ballestrem was a daughter of Princess Therese zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. Therese was the sister of Karl, 8th prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenber.

She spent much of her childhood at Schloss Hofling, a home leased in 1985 for 100 years by the Walderdorff family.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Höfling


She is of course sister in law to Paris and Nicky Hilton. Nicky Hilton's husband James is a grandson of Victor Rothschild, 3rd Baron Rothschild.


Third granddaughter for Kathy and Richard Hilton. Their daughter Nicky has Lily Grace (2016) and Teddy Marilyn (2017).


I believe it is the first grandchild for Tessa's parents. She does have a sister Countess Mia Rose.
