They do have alot of children makes me worry that all their wealth shall disapear much better to be a royal with the royal lifestyle than just a title and no money!

They don't use them, William -- I think I mentioned that in the blog entry. I'm using here what would be their titles if they still had the right to use them in Austria, which they don't.

The dress above the knee is OK for a young woman these days. They've rejected the old values and introduced new ones which have to be respected. These include not using obsolete titles. Dr. Otto Habsburg understands this, and he was a legitimate Crown Prince, so why doesn't the rest of his family give up these dead (and illegal) titles and stop using them?

1 - Again with the puffy-coat for a funeral! I don't understand. 2 - My mom would smack me, and I would smack my daughter if that skirt was worn to a family funeral. Just because you dont't do royal things often doesn't mean you can do them badly!

Generally for a funeral I would think its a good idea for your skirt to be longer than your jacket. Otherwise there is unseemly speculation in the pews...

Yeah, I agree Twisted Sister. For her age, I would say down to the knee.

Yes, Archduchess Eleanore, you do have lovely legs, but perhaps a funeral/church service isn't the best place to show them off. Dropping the hem a few inches would have been a better idea, I think.
