Yes nephew, sorry. In Dutch we do use the same word (neef) for both a nephew and a cousin / (nicht) for both a niece and a cousine, so the mistake is easily made. Prince François-Xavier de Bourbon de Parme, Duke of Parma and Piacenza (1889-1977) had two sons: Prince Carlos-Hugo de Bourbon de Parme, Duke of Parma and Piacenza (1930-2010), with issue and Prince Sixte-Henri de Bourbon de Parme (1940), without issue It is difficult to tell what will happen with the château, the domains of Lignières and other possessions when Prince Sixte-Henri passes away. He seems still only on speaking terms with his eldest sibling, Princess Françoise-Marie de Lobkowicz née Princesse de Bourbon de Parme whom has issue (the still unmarried Prince Charles-Henri de Lobkowicz and Princess Marie-Gabrielle de Lobkowicz, whom seems to be a nun, if I am correct). I hope that we will see a renaissance of the House de Bourbon de Parme: the Duke residing in the Château de Lignières (where he was baptized anyway), with newly purchased jewels to glitter, for an example this fantastic sapphire parure.
