It is worth noting that Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary and King Umberto I of Italy did not choose to attend the funeral, but instead sent their heirs Crown Prince Rudolf and Prince Vittorio Emanuele respectively.
Franz Joseph I's only son, Rudolf, has not yet faced any misfortune. According to historical records, Crown Prince Rudolf will commit a lovers' suicide with his mistress next year.
Currently, in the middle of 1888, this crown prince has not yet reached such an extreme point.
As for the Crown Prince Vittorio Emanuele sent by King Umberto I, he is also well-known in history.
The reason Italy switched sides multiple times during World War I and eventually betrayed the Triple Alliance to join the Allies is largely due to the decision of the then King Vittorio Emanuele III, who is now Prince Vittorio Emanuele.
The Italian Royal Family still held certain powers before Mussolini seized power, and the King of Italy had a certain degree of regency power.
