At the young age of 31, Princess Maria Galitzine, the daughter of the Archduchess of Austria, tragically passed away after suffering from a cardiac aneurysm.
Living in Houston with her husband Rishi Singh, a chef, and their two-year-old son Maxim, she experienced a fatal cardiac aneurysm on May 4, just six days before her 32nd birthday.
The news of her passing was confirmed in an obituary in The Houston Chronicle, which was published on Wednesday night.
The obituary stated: ‘Our Maria passed away in the Houston morning of Monday, May 4th, 2020, from a sudden cardiac aneurysm.
‘She was born in 1988 to Prince and Princess Piotr Galitzine in the city of Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.’
She was laid to rest last Friday in Houston.
Born on 11 May 1988 in Luxembourg City, Princess Maria was the daughter of Prince Piotr Galitzine, a Russian aristocrat, and Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria, the daughter of the Archduke Rudolf of Austria, who was the youngest son of Emperor Charles I of Austria and Empress Zita of Bourbon-Parma (the last Emperor and Empress of Austria).
She was one of six children, with three sisters and two brothers, Princess Xenia, Princess Tatiana, Princess Alexandra, Prince Dimitri, and Prince Ionn Teimouraz.
