UK: Royal Selfies!
Love...simply love it!
A prank done by one of the English tabloids, apparently, yet still quite funny and hysterical!
One does wonder...could it happen...?

+ Archduke Heinrich of Austria (1925-2014)
The Archduke, who had been ill for quite some time, finally found eternal rest on March 20, 2014. His place of death is Zurich, where he resided for a long time, along with his wife Archduchess Ludmilla.
Heinrich of Austria was born in Munich on 7 January 1925. He was the second child of Archduchess Franziska (née Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst) and of her husband Archduke Maximilian, the only brother of Emperor Karl of Austria.
Archduke Maximilian and his wife eventually led separate lives. he died in 1952 at the early age of fifty-six, while Franziska survived her husband by nearly four decades and passed away in Salzburg in 1989.
Not owning a personal fortune, the children of Maximilian and Franziska had to build a future for themselves. With their mother's undivided support, both Heinrich and his older brother Ferdinand (1918-2004) were to become quite successful businessmen, all though pure grit and commendable personal effort. Archduke Ferdinand was married to Countess Helen zu Toerring-Jettenbach, by whom he had three children: Elisabeth, Sophie and Maximilian.
In 1961, Heinrich married Countess Ludmilla von Galen, a towering beauty with whom he had four children: Archdukes Philipp (b. 1962), Ferdinand (b. 1965) and Konrad (b. 1971), and Archduchess Marie (b. 1964). All children married and provided Heinrich and Ludmilla with seven grandchildren. While the sons remain married, Archduchess Marie's marriage to Clemens Guggenberg von Riedhofen ended in divorce some time ago.
Archduke Heinrich, who retired from the business world man years ago, resided in Salzburg. He had been in poor health the last years of his life. Death now frees him from his earthly suffering.
A funeral mass for Archduke Heinrich will be celebrated in Anif, Austria, on April 5.
I wish to extend a personal message of condolence to Archduchess Ludmilla and her children and their spouses.
May He Rest In Peace ...
Archduke Heinrich of Austria.

Romanov: New Biography of Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna
For two decades, Liki Rossii, one of Russia's premier history publishers, have regaled us with excellent publications, many of them focused on the Imperial Family. Their books on the history of St Petersburg, Russia's Imperial capital, are widely recognized for their high quality and exquisite production. Liki Rossii has published various volumes on the Romanovs, among them the memoirs of two members of the Vladimirovich line of the Imperial Family: Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich and Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich.
Authors Galina Korneva and Tatiana Cheboksarova have worked on the Romanov Dynasty for more than a decade. In 2001 they authored an excellent book on the Vladimirovich Palace in St Petersburg, "The Palace of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich – The House of Scientists." The authors are frequent lecturers in Russia and abroad, with Ms. Korneva also having lectured across the USA, most recently at the yearly EUROHISTORY Conference, hosted in the San Francisco Bay Area in October 2013. A month later, Ms. Korneva was also a guest lecturer at ROYAL GATHERINGS, a joint royalty conference hoisted by Eurohistory and Hoogstraten English Bookstore in The Hague.
The opus of Korneva and Cheboksarova was a massive book titled RUSSIA AND EUROPE – Dynastic Ties, that first appeared in Russian in 2010 and was later published in the USA by Eurohistory two years later. The American version of the book was handsomely supplemented with more than 100 extra photos, most rarely seen before and from various royal archives, as well as from the vast Eurohistory Archive, owned by Arturo E. Beéche.
MARIA PAVLOVNA, the latest book authored by Korneva and Cheboksarova, contains extensive and rare material from archives in Russia and across Europe, and accumulated over the years by the authors. The book, published in Russian (for now), contains 300 illustrations, discovered by the authors in Russian and foreign archives and private collections. About 70 photos included in the book were provided courtesy of Eurohistory publisher, Mr. Beéche.
Fluency in various foreign languages allowed Korneva and Cheboksarova the ability to analyze periodicals from the late XIX and early XX centuries. These periodical archives came from Russia, England, Germany, and also provided rarer photographic imagery. The thoroughness of the research demanded by this book simply increased the importance of its publication.
EUROHISTORY hopes to bring this book to publication in English later this year. We hope to conclude a satisfactory agreement with Liki Rossii to make it possible!

Greece: Memorial Service for King Paul
Today, fifty years ago, King Paul I of the Hellenes passed away after a short but deadly illness. His death stunned the kingdom and the royal family alike.
Paul was much-loved and respected. Had he had a longer life, it is quite possible that Greece would still be a monarchy, not the mess that it has turned into.
To commemorate the somber anniversary, the King's children gathered at Tatoi. Along with Queen Sofía of Spain, King Constantine and Queen Anne-Marie and Princess Irene, were some of the late King Paul's grandchildren, among them the Prince of Asturias and his wife, the Duchess of Lugo and the Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal with their children. The office of HRH Crown Prince Alexander also announced his attendance, along with his wife Katherine and King Simeon of Bulgaria.
