An interesting article on Wilhelm Albrecht, it mentions Wilhelm Albrecht was born two days after the marriage of his father Count Adam Adalbert von Neipperg to Archduchess Marie Louise of Austria. Unfortunately, various sources show dates which don't accord with the statement in the article.
The article above mentions Wilhelm Albrecht became mentally unbalanced after the death of his wife and became a patient in what was stated to be the most famous insane asylum or sanatorium in the world at Doebling.
As an aside this is the same asylum that Princess Louise of Belgium (wife of Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) was first incarcerated as a result of her love affair with Géza Mattachich.
19.231 Princess Albertine von Montenuovo 1853 1895 Count Zygmunt Wielopolski 1833 1902  
19.232 Prince Alfred Adam von Montenuovo (2nd Fürst von Montenuovo) 1854 1927 Countess Franziska Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau 1861 1935 Prince Alfred von Montenuovo was appointed first Obersthofmeister (equates to Lord High Steward or High Court Chamberlain) of the Imperial Court in 1909 and as such was head of the imperial court and household. In this role he was responsible for the funeral arrangements of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este and his wife Duchess Sophia von Hohenberg following their assassination in 1914. Because of the morganatic nature of their marriage royal personages from other countries were not invited to the funeral which at the time caused heavy criticism of Prince Alfred von Montenuovo.
19.2321 Princess Juliane von Montenuovo 1880 1961 Count Dionys Draskovich von Trakostjan 1875 1909

19.2323 Prince Ferdinand Bonaventura von Montenuovo (3rd Fürst von Montenuovo) 1888 1951 Baroness Ilona Bss Solymossy de Loós et Egervár 1895 1988 A newspaper article in 1949 said that Prince Ferdinand Bonaventura von Montenuovo was responsible for the funeral arrangements of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este and his wife Duchess Sophia von Hohenberg following their assassination in 1914. The article goes on to say that because of the morganatic nature of the marriage of Franz Ferdinand there would be no state funeral and royal personages from other countries were not invited to the funeral. I'm reasonably confident the article is incorrect in referring to Prince Ferdinand Bonaventura as being responsible for the funeral arrangement it is more likely the arrangements was undertaken by his father Prince Alfred von Montenuovo

He also succeeded to the throne of Portugal on the death of his father and as he didn't want to leave Brazil he abdicated the Portuguese throne in favour of his daughter Maria on 29 April 1826.

Elizabeth was assassinated in Geneva by an Italian anarchist, Luigi Luccheni, who stabbed her with a shoemaker's file (some sources mentions it was a knife). Luigi was given a life sentence for the murder and committed suicide in his prison cell in 1910.
Newspaper articles in 1903 were reporting on the extreme conditions in which Luigi Luccheni was being held and speculated (rightly as it turned out) that he would become a raving maniac.

There were newspaper reports in 1953/1954 of court actions taken by an individual Robert Pachmann.
Pachmann took his case to the Vienna Court in 1953 claiming that he was the son of Crown Prince Rudolph and Maria Antonietta of Austria (Tuscany Line) who he reckoned were secretly married on New Years day 1880 before Rudolph's "official" wedding in May 1881 to Princess Stephanie of Belgium.
Pachmann also claimed that Rudolf continued to visit Maria Antonietta on the French Riviera after his marriage to Stephanie and it was there in 1883 that she gave birth to Robert and she died a few months.
Pachmann told the court that as a baby he was secretly brought to Vienna and cared for by Heinrich and Mare Pachmann, who substituted him for their own son who had died.
Although Pachmann said he had "complete documentary proof" that he was the only legitimate son of Rudolf , in late 1954 the appeals court upheld a previous verdict that the case be rejected for lack of proof.

Mexico was ruled by Spain from early 1500 until Mexico obtained its independence in 1821.

19.J31 Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este 1863 1914 Countess Sophia Chotek von Chotkowa und Wognin 1868 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand became the Heir Presumptive of the Austrian Empire on the death of his cousin Crown Prince Rudolph.
Emperor Franz Joseph agreed to permit Franz Ferdinand to marry Sophie, on condition that the marriage would be morganatic and that their descendants would not have succession rights to the throne. Franz Ferdinand formally renounced the rights of succession of his descendants on 28 June 1900 and he and Sophie were married on 1 July 1900.
As a consequence of her morganatic marriage Sophie suffered the indignity by court etiquette of not being able to be at the side of her husband at formal court occasionsf.
Franz Ferdinand and Countess Sophia were assassinated at Sarajera by a Serbian student Gavrilo Princip who was a member of the Bosnian nationalist movement.
Gavrilo Princip along with his accomplices were tried in October 1914 and five were sentenced to death. Gavrilo escaped the death penalty as he was just under 20 years of age when he committed the crime and instead was sentenced to the maximum of 20 years in jail. He died of tuberculosis on 28 April 1918.
The death of Franz Ferdinand lead to the start of the first World War.
Sophia was created Princess von Hohenberg on 1 July 1900 and Duchess von Hohenberg on 9 October 1909.
