I was thinking about this because I was looking at biography of the famous dancer Cleo de Merode and saw that she was the daughter of Freiherr Karl von Merode,also famous landscape painter.It is stated that he descended from one of the branches of the House of Merode,but I can't find the connection anywhere...only Comital branches are covered in genealogy sites.

Allegedly Cleo was the illegitimate daughter of a Baroness de Merode and an Austrian minister, so she’s a Merode through her mother not her father.

One of the Princesses of Merode, Eliane married into the Baronial branch of the Astor family based in the U.K. She married Charles Gavin Astor in 2017 and they had a daughter in 2020, Astrid.
