It's time for the return of the “Living People Related to Maria Theresa” game, started by @vivelareine

Here we have a descendant of hers through her daughter, Maria Carolina, the Queen of Naples and Sicily. (Though you can also trace her line of descent to other children of Maria Theresa, due to the amount of intermarriage among the Habsburg Dynasty). Her name is Vittoria of Savoy, and she's a 20 year old fashion model, who is studying art history and political science.

Vittoria of Savoy (Born December 29th, 2003)  –> Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy –> Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy  –> Umberto II –> Victor Emmanuel III –> Umberto I –> Victor Emmanuel II –> Maria Theresa of Austria –> Luisa of Naples and Sicily –> Maria Carolina of Austria –> Maria Theresa

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele: Italy’s Oldest Shopping Mall

Built between 1865 and 1877, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is Italy’s oldest still-running shopping gallery and a significant landmark of Milan. The gallery is a four-story arcaded structure topped by a glass dome. The structure took its name after Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy.

“Monarchies are the semi-organic outgrowth of hierarchically structured natural - stateless - social orders. Kings are the heads of extended families, of clans, tribes, and nations. They command a great deal of natural, voluntarily acknowledged authority, inherited and accumulated over many generations. It is within the framework of such orders (and of aristocratic republics) that liberalism first developed and flourished. In contrast, democracies are egalitarian and redistributionist in outlook; hence, the above-mentioned growth of state power in the 20th century. Characteristically, the transition from the monarchical age to the democratic one, beginning in the second half of the 19th century, has seen a continuous decline in the strength of liberal parties and a corresponding strengthening of socialists of all stripes.” - Hans-Hermann Hoppe, ‘Reflections on State and War’ (2006)

And then they fled to Mexico with their Mistress

The king, after hearing the prophecy about a child fated to depose them, decided to just let the events play out without interfering.
