Can't say I'm surprised by the Austrian divorce. The impression I got from the beginning was that the bride to be was a social climber of sorts from a family with "embellished" noble background.

She was already part of the social circle around various reigning and non reigning royal houses for over 10 years. This whole "fake title" discussion is largely something that exists on social media. I mean, it was one of her ancestors who started using a title that's fake or contested to say the least, but it's not something she herself invented. It's been around for several generations now, and it's old news.
For a marriage to end so soon there's usually a very different reason, something that really breaks up your relationship: violence, infidelity ... You name it, not hazy stuff like titles among titled people.

The discussion on the couple and their separation can be found in this thread:

Archduke Carl-Christian, Pss Marie Astrid (née Luxembourg) and Family 2, 2022 -

I would say it is not embarrassing but a necessity for any person in the public eye to edit their Wikipedia pages if possible. Even on discussion forums such as this, we have seen time and again how misinformation without any basis in reality is commonly believed just because it appears on...

Considering she was a no show to her MIL's funeral, pretty obvious this was coming.

Surprised even if separated she didn't attend funeral. Married 19 years, would think you'd still attend that type of event for the family.

Going to the funeral would be the right thing to do, but maybe her husband or his family didn't want her there.
