On September 20, 2021, Archduchess Walburga Habsburg-Douglas handed over to our Foundation diaries that shed more light on her father’s life.
The collection, which is managed and being processed by the Otto von Habsburg Foundation, is constantly growing. We also received archival documents, books, and pictures from individuals associated with the former heir to the throne and from the extensive Habsburg family. Otto von Habsburg’s youngest daughter, Archduchess Walburga Habsburg-Douglas provided archival material containing valuable diaries and shared useful information about her father as well.
An insight into the early years of the “little heir to the throne with blond locks”, the daily life of the royal family in exile in Madeira, the decades of love and marriage that began in a Hungarian refugee camp in Munich, and the defining moments of 20th-century European history are presented in the book 99 Years 99 Photos – Photographs from the Life of Otto von Habsburg, which was released on 20 November. Our Foundation is celebrating the 111th anniversary of the birth of Otto von Habsburg, the former Crown Prince and Member of the European Parliament, with this extraordinary photo book.
