Somewhat annoyingly, the BBC insisted on referring to him as "Mr. Habsburg." At the very least he is "Dr. Habsburg," and at most he is HIM Emperor Otto of Austro-Hungary!

An absolutely amazing Royal funeral taking place in a Republic! Good photos on the BBC News website.

Indeed. They ought to have a referendum on the Restoration of the Monarchy.
