Funeral of Archduchess Regina: HI&RH Archduchess Eilika, HI&RH Archduchess Zsófia, and HI&RH Archduchess Ildikó

Here's another of the late Archduchess Regina's daughters-in-law: Archduchess Eilika, who is married to Otto and Regina's younger son and youngest child, Archduke Georg.  Eilika was born Duchess Eilika of Oldenburg.  The couple has three children, all of whom are pictured here: (L-R) Archduchess Ildikó, Archduchess Zsófia, and Archduke Károly-Konstantin.

Eilika is wearing the traditional lace veil, but just like her sister-in-law, Francesca, she has chosen younger headcoverings for her daughters.  Ildikó is wearing a dark kerchief, and Zsófia has a headband-style wrap.  It would be tough to get little girls to keep a lace veil on, and it's more of an adult female mourning headgear anyway.  Good all around.

(And let's not ignore little Károly-Konstantin ... looks like his ears will be nice and warm.)
