Political career
Since 1986, Karl von Habsburg has been president of the Austrian branch of the Paneuropean Union. After studying law for 12 years, in 1992/1993, he had a TV game show with Austrian public TV broadcaster ORF, called Who is Who.[3][4] In October 1996, he was elected to the European Parliament for the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP). Two years later, it emerged that the ÖVP's election campaign had benefitted from 30,000 euros of World Vision donation money via Paneurope Austria while Karl von Habsburg sat on the board of World Vision Austria, apparently without noticing the director's dubious activities.[5]
His father exacerbated the situation when he complained that his son was being attacked unfairly and drew a parallel between the name "Habsburg" and a yellow badge.[5] ÖVP did not nominate Karl von Habsburg again for the 1999 elections.[6][3] In 2004, Karl von Habsburg paid 37,000 euros to the new World Vision Austria branch.[6]
On 19 January 2002, he was appointed Director General of UNPO (Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization) by the UNPO Steering Committee.[7] Since 7 December 2008, he is the President of the Association of National Committees of the Blue Shield.[8]

v · First Republic, this had in part been reverted under Austrofascism, and then the Nazis had expropriated them again. The family now tried to get their former property returned under rules for victims of the Nazi regime. The attempt failed because the expropriation still has constitutional rank.[10] On 1 January 2007, his father, Otto von Habsburg, relinquished his status as the Head of the House of Habsburg, a status which then devolved on Karl.[11]
Habsburg's full legal name in Austria is Karl Thomas Robert Maria Franziskus Georg Bahnam Habsburg-Lothringen. All noble, royal, and imperial titles are illegal in Austria and in Hungary, and the family does not use them in these countries.[fn 1]
Business career
Karl von Habsburg is one of the three co-founders of BG Privatinvest, a Vienna-based investment company. In December 2010 the company acquired the two most important Bulgarian daily newspapers, Dneven Trud and 24 Chasa.[12] After ongoing conflicts with Bulgarian partners, BG Privatinvest sold the newspapers in April 2011.[13]
Private life
Karl von Habsburg was born in Germany. He was baptised in Pöcking, Bavaria, as Archduke Karl of Austria (Erzherzog Karl von Österreich), the name entered in the baptismal records.[14] At the time of his birth, his father was de facto stateless and possessed a Spanish diplomatic passport, while his mother was a German citizen. Like his father and siblings, he was banished from Austria for the first years of his life.
He has lived in Salzburg, Austria, since 1981. He resides in Casa Austria, formerly called Villa Swoboda, in Anif, near the city of Salzburg.[15]
On 31 January 1993, he married Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza, the only daughter of Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza, a European industrialist and his second wife, Fiona Campbell Walter. Karl and Francesca have three children:
- Eleonore Jelena Maria del Pilar Iona, born 28 February 1994 in Salzburg
- Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michal Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard, born 21 June 1997 in Salzburg
- Gloria Maria Bogdana Paloma Regina Fiona Gabriela, born 15 October 1999 in Salzburg; her godmother is Gloria, Princess of Thurn and Taxis.[16]
Karl and Francesca separated in 2003.[17]
In July 1998 an Austrian court fined Karl von Habsburg 180,000 schillings ($14,300); he had failed to declare immediately to customs officials that he had an antique diadem in his luggage when he crossed the border from Switzerland in July 1996.[18] The diadem belonged to his wife who intended to wear it at a wedding ceremony.

- ^ Royal and noble titles were abolished in Austria and Hungary by the Adelsaufhebungsgesetz of 3 April 1919.[1] The family name of Karl von Habsburg's father was claimed to be Habsburg-Lothringen by an Austrian ministerial decision in 1957 [2] and by a German court (Landgericht Würzburg) on 16 July 1958. However, Otto was at the time de facto stateless, living in Germany with a Spanish diplomatic passport, and was denied both entry to Austria and an Austrian passport. Otto's official name as a German citizen from 1978 was Otto von Habsburg.
