What is the most recent example of an ordained Catholic priest of blue blood? The one coming to my mind is Pater Florian -- eldest son of the late Prince Rasso of Bavaria. I know that earlier in the House of Wittelsbach, Prince Georg (elder son of Prince Leopold) also got ordained.
The royal house of Saxony also seems to have produced its share of priests: Prince Maximilian (son of King Georg of Saxony and Infanta Maria Ana of Portugal, hence grandson of Queen Maria II of Portugal) and Crown Prince Friedrich (his nephew, eldest son of King Friedrich Augustus III, and hence Infanta Maria Ana's grandson) also count.
Duke Carl Alexander of Württemberg (youngest son of Duke Albrecht, head of the house after the death of Wilhelm II, the last king) was known as "Father Odo" after ordination.
Can anybody name other examples in the last century? Is Pater Florian really the latest?
