Yes, the swedish and international press has written a lot of Chris' family earlier, about the family from his mother's side. His father's side of the family wants to be private.

Yes, and all sisters are older than Chris.

[LadyCatharine]

Mama looks like she had work done....

[USCtrojan]

Okay' so there is some nobility in his family! Awesome! I like! Fun!

[NGalitzine]

That "some nobility" seems to come not from descent but from his half sisters marriages rather like he is soon to be a part of.

[Moonmaiden23]

NGalitzine is right. Chris's family is socially about as well connected as they come, and his mother has moved in the "right" circles for decades.

But they do not come from the nobility themselves.

True - and it isnt important that they don't.

I think not taking a title is a good thing - and they will end up living in the US - as a v rich, up-market couple

Agreed here.

It was very respectful of him to step back and say that he preferred his own life and chose not to have a title. Good guy.

[vee]

Even though Chris' propensity to NOT smile in pics (and he looks TOTALLY transformed when he does!) irks me, I HAVE to give the man credit for choosing his own path and refusing a title.

I respect him for that.

He doesn't seem to care for being in the limelight at all (saw a recent pic where he was actually flipping a bird at a photog! Didn't think much of THAT little action!), and since Maddie is so far down in the pecking order of possibly ever having to rule Sweden, I really don't see any logical reason why he SHOULDN'T choose to keep his life as he knows it as much intact as possible.

Daniel's situation was ABSOLUTELY different, though, because of Victoria's positioning in the succession. And sure, he had his naysayers. However, he seems to be proving any and all of them wrong on a daily basis, and good for him. His path was to become a royal and get with the program, and he has trod it well.

Now let's see how well Chris does on HIS path!

[LadyFinn]

According to Svensk Damtidning, Natascha and Ernst von Abensperg und Traun have three children (many websites are writing only of one). Milana is 17-years old and in addition to Milana they have a daughter and son, who are younger. They live at a castle in Maissau, six different wines are produced at their estate. Ernst is at the finance business and has a good job at Valartis Bank.

[LadyFinn]

According to Svensk Damtidning, actress Maryam D'Abo is the cousin of Henry D'Abo, the husband of Chris' sister Tatjana.

[LadyFinn]

Obviously Natascha and Ernst von Abensperg und Traun have four children, since at the guest list were:
Countess Milana Abensperg und Traun
Count Moritz Abensperg und Traun
Countess Chiara Abensperg und Traun
Count Louis Cajetan Abensperg und Traun

Chiara and Louis were bridal children.
