• Watched in amazement this past July as the ORF 2 broadcast the Imperial Requiem of the last Archduke of the Habsburg Imperial family.  Although Archduke Otto von Habsburg has children, when the Austrian parliament had officially expelled the Habsburg dynasty and confiscated all the official property (Habsburg Law of 3 April 1919), all members of the Imperial family were forced into exile.  The Habsburg Law also stated that Charles' descendants could only return to Austria if they renounced their royal claims and accepted the status of private citizens.  Truly the end of an era.
