Kaiserin Zita

Kaiserin Zita of Austria, born Zita de Bourbon-Parma in 1892, was the last Empress of Austria and the last Queen of Hungary, known for her role during World War I and her strong advocacy for the Habsburg dynasty. After the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, she lived in exile, primarily in Switzerland and later in Canada, where she safeguarded the Habsburg crown jewels. Zita passed away in 1989, leaving behind a legacy intertwined with the tumultuous history of her time, and her heir, Karl Habsburg, recently made headlines regarding the discovery of a significant Habsburg treasure in Canada.
