Duke Carl and the Royal House of Württemberg 1: Ending 2022

[Marengo]

Thanks for posting the link, it was an interesting read and some nice photos. The duchess had some nice words for her sister-in-law, the duchess of Montpensier. And it seems that her sister-in-law Marion, widow of prince Thibaut, accompanies her to Brasil from time to time. I completely forgot that the late countess of Paris passed away in Württemberg.

I completely forgot that the late countess of Paris passed away in Württemberg.

She passed away in Paris not in Württemberg. But she often spend the holidays with the Württemberg Family and as far as i kinow was very close to them. One of her last wishes was that the Wedding of her granddaugther Fleur who took place only 1 month after her death should go on as planned.

i was reading the article too fast indeed. she says that the countess was in Althausen for the new year celebrations.

King William I of Wurttemberg promoted the Zollverein, the German customs union.
The Zollverein was a customs union established to eliminate tariff barriers.

Thanks Stefan, always nice to see the Duchess. Her grandson seems all grown up already.

Yes he has really grown since he was last seen which i think was 4 yours ago at the Golden Wedding of his grandparents. But he is already 20 years old now.

Duke Wilhelm has a distibct resemblance to his mother. If the young man has to make a royal marriage I think a suitable spouse would be Archduchess Eleanore of Austria, the eldest daughter of Ad Karl

But i need time to go through my pics and will later also post some on my Blog

As it is over a year till the Wedding there is still the possibility that one of the other great-grandchildren will be first to marry.
Nice that there will be again a Wedding in the House of Württemberg but a pity that it will most likely be at Tegernsee and not at Altshausen but i guess she wants to marry at the same place then her parents in 1991.

I remember an article that some of the estate of Duke Max was already devided. The HP of liechtenstein would receive forestry lands, Dss Helene received Wildbad Kreutz. I am not sure if Tegernsee is part of the 'in Bavaria' properties but if it is intended to be going to Dss Marie-Caroline, a wedding there would make double sense.

And what about Elisabeth and Maria Anna?

And what about Elisabeth and Maria Anna?

I can not remember. The article must be posted somewhere in the Bavarian thread. I will see if I can find it.

--
Edit:
I did not find the article that I mentioned, but I did find one that states that Duchess Maria-Anna is involved in the managment of Tegernsee, so that undermines my suggestion .
