A Financier Princess

In 2018 I wrote an article about a romance between Princess Luisa of Belgium and Prince Karl Elias of Auersperg-Breunner.  At the time, the couple were students at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

Six years later, it seems unlikely that Princess Luisa and Prince Karl-Elias are still dating.   Princess Luisa is the fourth of five children of Princess Astrid of Belgium and her husband, Archduke Lorenz of Austria (Prince Lorenz of Belgium.)   Princess Astrid is King Philippe's younger sister

Luisa, 28, graduated from McGill in 2018 with a BA in Political Science, History and Russia.  She also has a graduate diploma in law from BPP University.

The princess lives in London and works as an Investment Professional with Innesto Partners.  She is also a solicitor and is registered with the SRA Regulation Authority.  Luisa was admitted as a solicitor on September 1, 2022.  

She is listed with the surname de Belgique, but her title is HRH Princess Luisa Maria Anna Martine Pilar of Belgium, Archduchess of Austria-Este.

Innesto Partners "enables motivated entrepreneurs to search, buy and operate a private, profitable, small business."  The firm was founded in 2018 by Joachim de Belgique and Felipe Corcuera.   Joachim is the Managing Partner and Felipe is the Partner.

 Joachim is HRH Prince Joachim  Karl-Maria Nikolaus Isabelle Marcus d'Aviano of Belgium, Archduke of Austria-Este, Luisa's older brother.  He is the third of Astrid and Lorenz's five children.   




Felipe Corcuera Habsburgo-Lorena is Joachim and Luisa's second cousin.  His mother, Archduchess Myriam of Austria, and Prince Lorenz of Belgium are first cousins, as their parents, Archduke Felix and Archduke Robert were brothers.   

Lorenz and Miriam are first cousins.  Felipe's father, Jaime Marcos Pedro Corcuera Acheson is the son of Fernando Corcuera Mier and Lady Mary Acheson, daughter of the 5th Earl of Gosford. Lady Mary's mother, Caroline Mildred Carter was American.   Felipe was raised in Mexico and attended university in the United States.



Prince Karl Ilias is also London-based. Since September 2019, he has been an analyst with CS Capital.

Princess Luisa and Prince Joachim do not have public roles as members of the Belgian royal family.  They are in the line of succession but do not have official duties.  Nor do they appear at most royal events in Belgium.  Both have lucrative careers and do not use their titles in business.
