[Marengo]

No, the unmarried daughter of duke Max is Duchess Helene in Bavaria. Princess Alice of Bavaria is the daughter of prince Luitpold and Beatrix Wiegland. Her father will succeed duke Franz/Max eventually as he is the eldest son of the late prince Ludwig and princess Irmingard of Bavaria.

What is your source for this. Thanks

It's not really offical yet, because the announcement wasn't made public until the party

I find it kind of interesting that the family was told to wear black for the next few weeks as a symbol of mourning by the Wittelsbacher Zentrale.

`` The Wittelsbacher Zentrale``....lol,...you mean Franzl´s office?

 

[Beatitudo]

`` The Wittelsbacher Zentrale``....lol,...you mean Franzl´s office?

Well it was referred to as "Wittelsbacher Zentrale" when a family member told me about it.

Maybe it's not the right term, but it was the one which was used by somebody who belongs to the family himself. I don't know whether they call it like that, or whether it was just him. Either way, I got the impression it was the correct term.

But that's no reason to make fun of me? I just thought somebody might find it interesting.

 

[lucien]

Oh but I am not making fun of you,just found the Zentrale a funny expression when referring to the Head of the House because it can
hardly mean anything/anyone else,dass ist alles

And it is interesting so please do continue.

 

[Beatitudo]

I see I thought you were laughing about my lack of knowledge.
I will continue to post news, since I got really fascinated by this family. It's a whole new world to me and I keep being surprised.

 

[Beatitudo]

Marie-Bernadette countess Kornis de Göncz-Ruszka (eldest daughter of Maria-Theresia princess of Bavaria) and her husband Klaus Fischer-Stabauer are expecting their fourth child.

 

[Warren]

You have to get used to dear Lucien. He's quite harmless. Well, most of the time.
More seriously, we do appreciate you providing us with whatever information that discretion allows.

It's interesting to know that the Wittelsbachs still to this day recognise and "obey" the authority of the Head of the House, even when it comes to dress code.
Although I don't speak German I find the term "Wittelsbacher Zentrale" for Duke Franz and his office amusing, and telling.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Yet their fourth child??? but Maria Teresa is only 52, so Marie Bernadette may be 30 years old...and she's expecting her fourth child...

 

[Beatitudo]

Yes, she turns 31 this year. There are Antonius, Clarissa and Cornelius, and now she is expecting the fourth baby Her younger sister is 27 and has three children of her own. But they are really adorable wonderful children. They do a great job raising them.

@Warren: Thank you!

Yes, they are still really traditional when it comes to some rules.

 

[MAfan]

Well, my congratulations to both the sisters; is not common in these times that in a so young age a woman has three or four children...
If I correctly remember, their husbands are in some way related, they're brothers or cousins, isn't it?

Yes, they are brothers and come from a family with many children as well. Their oldest brother married a countess himself, Stephanie countess of Ballestrem.

Gosh, I just saw I made a mistake. Natalie countess of Kornis de Göncz Ruszka gave birth to her daughter Helena, not Helene. I mistyped it

 

[MAfan]

Thank you, Beatitudo, for your precious infos!

How much serious the accident was?

 

[Warren]

There's a photo gallery of the "incident" at the bottom of the story.
It looks like the craft capsized and the Princes had to be fished out of the water. No harm done.

A question: after reading that HRH the Duke of Bavaria still lives in Nymphenburg Palace, I wonder who is the current owner of the Palace?
