Ambassador Eduard Habsburg Bids Farewell

Dec 2, 2025 | For ten years, Eduard Habsburg has served as Hungary’s ambassador to the Holy See, representing his nation at the Vatican through moments of both agreement and tension. But what makes this ambassador stand out is his family name: he descends from the noble Habsburg dynasty that once ruled much of Europe.

In this exclusive interview with EWTN’s Colm Flynn, as he prepares to leave his post, Eduard speaks about what it’s like growing up with the Habsburg name and having a ready-made identity handed to you. He reflects on his years working at the heart of the Catholic Church, shares what he values most in life, and, after a decade in a defining role as ambassador, Colm asks him what he plans to do next.
