Albert Franz Josef Karl Friedrich Georg Hubert Maria, Archduke and Prince Imperial of Austria, Prince Royal of Hungary and Bohemia, Duke of Teschen (In German: Erzherzog Albrecht Franz Josef Karl Friedrich Georg Hubert Maria von Österreich, Herzog von Teschen) – (24 July 1897 – 23 July 1955) was a member of the House of Habsburg and titular pretender to the Duchy of Teschen.

Early life

Archduke Albrecht Franz was born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, only son of Archduke Friedrich, Duke of Teschen (1856–1936, son of Archduke Karl Ferdinand of Austria and Archduchess Elisabeth Franziska of Austria) and his wife, Princess Isabella of Croÿ (1856–1931, daughter of Rudolf, Duke of Croÿ and Princess Natalie of Ligne).

Marriages

On 16 August 1930 Albrecht Franz married morganatically in Brighton, England, Irene Dora Lelbach (1897–1985), daughter of Johann Lelbach and Ilma Skultéty. They had no issue. They divorced on 1 June 1937.[1]

His second marriage was to Katalin Bocskay de Felsö-Bánya (1909–2000), on 7 May 1938. They had two daughters, named below. Following the rules of morganatic marriages, the daughters did not inherit the title of their father, in this case that of Archduchess; however, Otto von Habsburg granted them the (unofficial) title of Gräfin von Habsburg ("Countess of Habsburg"). Albrecht and Katalin divorced in 1951.[1]

  • Charlotte Izabella Mária Krisztine Eszter Katalin Pia, Countess von Habsburg (born 3 March 1940), married in 1967 to Ferdinand Joseph Wutholen, had issue.
  • Ildiko Katalin Izabella Henriette Alice Mária, Countess von Habsburg (born 19 February 1942), married first in 1963 to Joseph J. Calleja, had issue; divorced in 1978. Married second in 1982 to Terry D. Fortier, had issue.
