Vienna/Poecking, Germany - The wife of Otto von Habsburg, son of the last Austrian emperor, died on Wednesday morning at the age of 85, her family said in a statement. Regina von Habsburg died at the family home in Poecking in the German state of Bavaria. She had been suffering from heart problems for some time, the family said.

She was born in 1925 as Princess of Saxe-Meiningen in Wuerzburg and was a social worker before marrying her husband in 1951.

Otto von Habsburg, 97, the eldest son of the last Austrian emperor and king of Hungary Charles, has handed over the role of head of the family to his oldest son Karl.

The former imperial family entered the spotlight in the fall when one of its members, Ulrich Habsburg-Lothringen, declared he wants to run for Austrian president in the upcoming elections in April. However, the constitution currently prevents members of former ruling houses from being elected.
