WEBVTT 00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:02.540 My great -grandfather Prince Sebastian Habsburg. 00:00:02.899 --> 00:00:05.000 He was the only legitimate child of Emperor Franz 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.179 Joseph I of Osterreich Ungarn, Austria and Hungary. 00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.820 It was legally documented, official and legally 00:00:09.820 --> 00:00:11.960 legitimate but not via marriage or sex as Emperor 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.660 Franz Joseph was homosexual. Prince Sebastian's 00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:16.460 mother was mainly part Afghani and part Scottish. 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:18.780 She was very polite and agreed to have Prince 00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:20.620 Sebastian with Franz Joseph I without gaining 00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:23.079 any form of royal title from it. When Prince 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:24.879 Sebastian was born, retrospectively speaking, 00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:26.739 he was future Crown Prince of the Habsburg dynasty 00:00:26.739 --> 00:00:28.719 by default, as the only legitimate child of my 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:30.480 great -great -grandfather, eventual Emperor Franz 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:34.000 Joseph I. Prince Sebastian grew up and became 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.439 interested in sailing at a young age. When he 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:38.219 was 21, he had to attend an official meeting 00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:39.719 with his father the Emperor, where he had to 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:41.179 confirm he wanted to become the next Emperor 00:00:41.179 --> 00:00:42.939 of the Habsburg dynasty, or officially decline. 00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:45.359 He had spent years thinking about it to the point 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.539 of being emotionally distressed. In what was 00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:49.140 supposed to be a casual meeting, he suddenly 00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.600 started sobbing and officially declined. When 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.200 the meeting was over, his father Emperor Franz 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.179 Joseph I was immediately very concerned for his 00:00:55.179 --> 00:00:56.799 son, comforting him by saying there was no need 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:58.399 to be so upset, and he would get someone else. 00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:01.039 Emperor Franz Joseph I approached multiple technically 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:02.880 eligible family members, before he eventually 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.680 named his grand -nephew Charles his heir, after 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.760 Charles chose to accept. Prince Sebastian enrolled 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:09.640 to study sailing -related material full -time. 00:01:10.219 --> 00:01:11.959 After he declined becoming his father Emperor 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.000 Franz Joseph as heir and future successor, Prince 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.060 Sebastian had several eligible royal family children 00:01:16.060 --> 00:01:17.900 including my grandfather James Henry Habsburg, 00:01:17.980 --> 00:01:21.040 born in 1906. My grandfather James emigrated 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:22.840 to Australia with his mother Ada Snowden Cooper. 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.480 Ada was in a sexual relationship with a relative 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.159 of Prince Sebastian called John Webb and was 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:28.920 a relative of the person from history known as 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.359 Mary Queen of Scots. Who was really a man called 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.400 Marya just like Marya Magdalene. Below my grandfather 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.200 Duke and Lord James Webb the Habsburg when he 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.299 was a child in lederhosen before Osterreich changed 00:01:38.299 --> 00:01:41.340 its name to Austria. The children Prince Sebastian 00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:43.260 and Ada had were royal family legally legitimate 00:01:43.260 --> 00:01:45.459 no sex no marriage children as Prince Sebastian 00:01:45.459 --> 00:01:47.560 was homosexual and John Webb was Ada's sexual 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.079 partner. All the children Prince Sebastian and 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.879 Ada had emigrated to Australia with her prior 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.840 to 1912. Before my grandfather James emigrated 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.659 to Australia with his mother, he legally changed 00:01:56.659 --> 00:01:58.439 his surname to Webb to signify that her partner 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:00.000 John Webb was assuming the role of his adopted 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.540 father. The surname Webb has origins in France 00:02:02.540 --> 00:02:04.439 traced back to the old French royal family via 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:08.099 Louis XIV. Webb is going in German. James was 00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:09.800 pre -authorized to become a Duke of Austria and 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:11.599 a Lord of Hungary shortly after birth, for when 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.300 he reached the appropriate age inherited from 00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:15.479 his prince father. James knew his grandfather 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.699 Emperor Franz Joseph I personally and spent family 00:02:17.699 --> 00:02:19.300 time with him before emigrating to Australia. 00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:22.039 I am directly legitimately a Habsburg and also 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.000 part biologically a Webb as well as by name. 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.460 When my grandfather Duke and Lord James Ward 00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:27.860 the Habsburg married my indigenous grandmother 00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:30.039 Myrtle Cook, legal surname after adoption as 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:31.919 child, born Myrtle Lingiari the Mussolini who 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.840 was an indigenous Australian, she became Duchess 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.479 Myrtle and Lady Myrtle of Austria and Hungary 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.900 respectively. James did not have to wait for 00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:39.699 his father to die to become a Duke and Lord as 00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:41.960 his father was a prince. Duke and Lord James' 00:02:42.099 --> 00:02:43.780 legitimate descendants, like my father Kevin, 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:45.639 inherited the individual title Duke and Lord 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.740 when he died in the 1980s, each surviving eligible 00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:50.439 child gained a title. When my father Kevin died 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.979 in 2004, I automatically became a Duke of Austria 00:02:52.979 --> 00:02:54.800 and a Lord of Hungary, as well as Prince Imperial 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.580 and Prince Knight of my Hohenzollern royal family. 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.219 My mother Judith was divorced by my father Kevin 00:02:59.219 --> 00:03:01.360 in the 1970s and did not become a Duchess or 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:02.060 Lady because of it.
