New Hapsburg Niblets?????

  She's beautiful.

Btw since they've four daughters now, I wonder, if Katie is being pressured to birth a son.

So far from the male line of AD Rudolf in the last generation there're only daughters born. CC's brother Rudolphe has quite a few sons, but only one of them (also called CC) is married (and has four daughters as well). The others probably won't marry at all as they seem to be very religious (I believe some of them already joined orders)

Now Imre and Katie have four daughters, Christophe and Adelaide two.

I hope I'm wrong, but I could see CC being angry.

But hey his eldest daughter has three sons, almost so nature told him - suck it up.

Archduchess Cecilia is truly precious!

Four girls! Good luck to Imre - he's quite outnumbered at this point but I bet he doesn't mind. Congratulations to them on a healthy baby. I love the name Cecilia!

That is a truly adorable baby and I love the name.

It does almost feel pointed, that his daughter has three sons and his sons have 6 girls between them with Gabriella having a daughter as well.

 I would hope Kathleen isn't being blamed for not having a son or being pressured to keep going. I shouldn't think so, they made it explicitly clear when they married that they were following the church's teachings on sex and birth control, so a big family is what they get and what they want and they can't try sex selection either. They might have a boy if they end up with another couple of babies and they don't seem to have trouble getting pregnant. But they have 4 gorgeous little girls and are very lucky. As are the grandparents.

Aaah such a cutie pie  I also like the name. Congratulations to the parents; older sisters and further family and friends.

Well, as a devote (conservative) Catholics Kathleen and Imre propably don't use anti conceptive, besides the accepted ones. My family is also Catholic (I am originally raised as one). But in comparison to the facade tge Habsburg show, my family is (very) progressive in their views and such.

A long and happy life to little Cecilia

In 2021 I don't believe that even the Hapsburgs would blame anyone Imre/Katie or Christoph/Adelaide for not having a son or a daughter Marie Christine/Rodolphe    a daughter. I believe that it's likely that they consider each grandchild to be precious.

According to nobiliana, Christoph and Adelaide had a son named Josef late last year.

As it is the sperm of the father and not the egg of the mother that determines gender then if any "blame" was being apportioned then it could not be towards Kathleen. One would hope that every child is welcomed irrespective and that "old school" outdated values re the passing on of family name etc are but a distant memory  . . . .

Yes indeed. Congratulations!

Congratulations on Archduke Josef! Josef (Joseph) is a significant name in the imperial family.

Even with that knowledge thinking patterns could be crazy.

I recently heard a story of a woman who wanted a child. But she and her husband couldn't get pregnant (I know only female can get pregnant). If I understood it correct it was thought the woman "to blame". She proved those people wrong or her current partner is really potent. Because after the divorce she got together with a former boyfriend of her again and within notime she was pregnant (and the child is cherished by both parents).
