Four child-Archdukes?Robert, Felix, Karl and Rudolph?donned small white surplices, swung fuming censers, and chanted a quavering treble litany, while there knelt in prayer before them the child-Archduchesses Charlotte and Elizabeth and the mother of these six children, Zita, onetime Austro-Hungarian Empress and Queen...
...residence in Lequeitio, a Spanish fishing village (TIME, Jan. 24, 1927).

With him arrived his mother, Zita, one-time Hungarian Queen and Austrian Empress. They came from the little fishing village at Lequeitio, Spain, where Prince Otto has grown up in exile, tutored by monks, supported by King Alfonso XIII of Spain and the contributions of loyal Austro-Hungarian nobles.
