Interesting factoid about Hazel Singer

Hazel Singer and her husband, Prince John Ghika, had one daughter, Alexandra, who married three times. Her first husband was Paul-Louis Weiller, whom she married at the Romanian Church in Paris in 1922. The couple had one daughter, Marie-Elisabeth Weiller, before they divorced in 1931. In 1932, Weiller married Aliki Diplarakos, who was Miss Europe 1930. They had one son, Paul-Annick Weiller, who married Donna Olimpia Torlonia, a daughter of Infanta Beatriz of Spain. Paul-Annick and Olimpia had six children, including Sibilla, who is the wife of Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg.

Thanks for the further aristocratic adventures of the Singer family! Do you have anything fun on the Daisy Fellowes connection?

Amy, it's most likely that Hazel Singer and Isaac Singer (of sewing machine fame) were not related.

Hazel's grandparents were Jacob & Eva Singer: he was born in Hesse about 1825, and she was born in Bavaria about 1830.

Isaac Singer's father, Adam, came to the U.S. from Saxony at age 16 in 1769 (and may well have changed his name on immigration).
