It is now being widely reported that Her Imperial Royal Highness Archduchess Regina von Hapsburg passed away this morning at the age of 85 at her home in Pöcking near Lake Starnberg in Bavaria, Germany at 8:40 AM. The Archduchess was the wife of His Imperial Royal Highness Archduke Otto von Hapsburg, rightful Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary etc. Their oldest son, Archduke Charles, said, "My mother was an example to all of us, with her we lose a great personality, who has formed us with her steadfast faith and her positive approach to life". Not many details are available yet but the archduchess has been having heart problems for quite a while.She was born Princess Regina Helene Elizabeth Margarete von Saxe-Meiningen on January 6, 1925 in Würzburg, Germany.
