Count Maurits Douglas (*1994),only child of Walburga Habsburg and her husband of swedish ancestry, is engaged to Countess Emma Solms-Laubach(*1992).
Walburga is a grandchild of the last Emperor of Austria Karl I (1887-1922).
Countess Emma zu Solms-Laubach descends from the Swedish Douglas family too. Her great-grandmother Fürstin Margareta zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg was born in Sweden as the daughter of a countess Douglas. Thus, the future bride and groom share a descent from Count Ludvig Douglas (1849-1916) and Countess Anna Ehrensvärd (1855-1930).
Emma’s paternal grandmother, Countess Madeleine zu Solms-Laubach (89), spent much of her childhood and youth in Sweden and speaks Swedish, so it will no doubt please her that her granddaughter is now marrying a Swede - in fact her second cousin's son.
