Hi. You missed to mention that in 1859 Maximilian of Habsburg, brother of Franz Joseph, became the last Emperor of Mexico as Maximilian I of Mexico. He was executed by the Mexican republican forces after his empire fell. His body is buried in the Habsburg family cemetery in Vienna where a bronze plaque refers to him as Kaiser Maximilian von Mexiko. A cadet branch of the Habsburg still lives in Mexico.

The House of Yamato is the oldest dynasty in the world. This imperial dynasty had been ruling Japan for over 2600 years and had outlived all the other dynasties of the world combined.

Queen Maria Carolina is the best Habsburg figure and the crossroad between her and queen Caroline Bonaparte and lady Hamilton is worthy of a movie of 2 parts. King Louis 14 regretted the Spainish succession war at his old age and called it a vanity war, little he knew that the Bourbons of Spain will be the last surviving Bourbon dynasty.

I can see a portrait of Marie Antoinette and her three children when Franz Joseph I had an audience with ministers and other government officials. The portrait was shown just after L'affair de le collier(the affair of the necklace).

The House of Habsburg died out in 1780 with Maria Theresa and in the male line 40 years earlier with her father Charles. So no, they could not hold the imnperial title "continuously until 1806". The family which held the imperial title after 1740 was House of Lorraine or House of Habsburg-Lorraine since they assumed additional name from the actual Habsburgs through marriage of Francis I with Maria Theresa.

If you're an Amadeus fan, Joseph II is the Emperor portrayed in the film.

Marie Antoinette looked so much like her Mom...

And now one of their descendants is a car racer ^^ how interesting is that

It is also fair to point out that their Iberian maternal ancestors up to Ferdinand & Isabella were already inbreeding before Maximilian's descendants started marrying each other.
