"King Otto"

At the parish church of the Spanish fishing village of Lequeito, near where the exiled ex-Empress of Austria-Hungary lives, the children of the unfortunate Emperor Karl (who died at Madeira, April 1,1922) and Empress Zita, were confirmed.

Wearing the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece, little "King Otto," as he is known to a vast majority of Hungarians, followed by his sister and brothers, his mother, members of the Habsburg family and a large number of nobles, clergy and other notables, went in solemn procession to the church. There the Royal Family were received by the Primate of Spain, Cardinal-Prince Archbishop of Toledo, and by Bishop Dr. Ernst Seydl (former Court Pastor), who had come to Lequeito several weeks before to prepare and administer the Holy Confirmation to the Imperial Children. After a brief prayer at the altar of the sacrament, the Royal Family went to the main altar, where the Habsburg King, Princes and Princess were confirmed.
