    The epitome of European stylish, Her Royal and Imperial Highness Sophie Habsburg, Archduchess of Austria, divides her time between her palatial house in Rome and Sant Angelo d’Alfie; a small city outdoors Naples the place she has a home subsequent to her working mozzarella farm.

    It is the stuff of storybook goals. She has been married for 33 years to her (actual) prince, Prince Mariano Hugo, head of the home of Windisch-Greatz, and designs luxurious purses which can be coveted by actual queens and countesses when she shouldn’t be working her lands and horticulture. On at the present time she calls in from Sant Angelo. Quietly luxurious in a tweed blazer and cream silk shirt, her hair styled effortlessly, you want you had been her, or no less than her greatest pal. Her elegant accent purrs an introduction. “Properly, perhaps we’ll be achieved within the morning,” she jokes as I scan an agenda for the interview.

    Born in Paris in 1959 to Archduke Ferdinand Karl Marx of Austria and Countess Helene of Törring-Jettenbach, she comes from the historic and distinguished Home of Habsburg. Her grandfather was the brother of King Carlo I, the final emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and her great-aunt, Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, was married to Prince George, Duke of Kent. “I do not suppose you actually give it some thought except you are confronted with an uncomfortable impediment, however you could have great respect for what you have been given,” Sophie says of her heritage. ‘You get it from an early age that you do not go [Prince] Harry’s means,’ she jokes.

    After three years at a college in France and 6 years in Germany, she was lastly despatched to St Mary’s Ascot to check in England. St Mary’s is thought to be among the best public faculties within the nation and has a strict and spiritual code of conduct for its younger college students. ‘I had this excellent head nun, she was good. As soon as she caught me doing one thing actually naughty, I do not keep in mind what it was. She known as me and grabbed me and with a all sturdy face, checked out me and stated, “Sophie, I’ll let you know one factor and I hope you’ll keep in mind [it] your entire life. You’ve got acquired the identify, you have acquired the seems to be and you have got the cash. Watch out what you do with it in life.” And that is one thing that I believe guided me loads. I acquired a lot, so that you higher give again the correct means.”

    The British college system was stunning at first, however by the top Sophie had gotten used to the approach to life and now seems to be again on it fondly. “If you come from a combined college, the place you have already got boyfriends and placed on make-up and no matter, you get ladies who have not seen a person in 10 years. Surrounded by nuns who will let you know for days it was a little bit of a shock however in the long run I beloved it and I nonetheless have nice buddies [from school] that is good,’ she says.
