Georg von Habsburg

Georg von Habsburg (born 16 December 1964) is a Hungarian diplomat. He is referred to in Austria as Georg Habsburg-Lothringen and in Hungary as Habsburg György. Previously, he was the country's ambassador to France from 2020 to 2025.

Family ties

Born in Germany as Paul Georg Maria Joseph Dominikus, he is the second son (and seventh and youngest child) of Otto von Habsburg, the last Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, and his wife Regina Prinzessin von Sachsen-Meiningen. His father, heir of Charles I and IV, the last monarch of Austria-Hungary, renounced all claims to the Austrian throne in 1961. Georg von Habsburg was raised at his parents' home in exile, Villa Austria in Pöcking, Bavaria.

He married Duchess Eilika of Oldenburg (born 22 August 1972 in Bad Segeberg), the elder daughter of Duke Johann of Oldenburg (younger son of Nikolaus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Oldenburg, and his wife Princess Helena of Waldeck and Pyrmont) and Countess Ilka of Ortenburg, on 18 October 1997 in Budapest, Hungary. He contracted a dynastic marriage according to the former Habsburg house laws, unlike his elder brother Karl in 1993. While Georg is a Catholic, Eilika has chosen to remain a Lutheran.
