Croy Prince is said to have taken his own life

February 24, 1901

The Viennese correspondent for the London newspaper, the Morning Leader, reports that Prince Carl of Croy has committed suicide because he was "jilted by a peasant girl." The prince, who was born, in 1859 was the "second child" of Rudolf, Duke of Croy and his first wife, Princess Natalia de Ligne. In 1888, the prince was married to Princess and Duchess Ludmilla of Arenberg, by whom he had four children.

Rather bad reporting by the Viennese correspondent of the Morning Leader. Prince Carl was actually the fourth child of Duke Rudolf, but was the heir apparent to the ducal title. He was also the only son, as he had three older sisters, Eugenie, Isabella and Anna.
The prince did not commit suicide in 1901. He died on September 28, 1906.
