Princess Bona gives birth to a son

July 27, 1925

The AP reports today that Princess Konrad of Bavaria has given birth to a son, who will be named Eugen. The former Princess Bona of Savoy is the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Genoa. The news of the prince's birth "has caused great rejoicing in Rome," and King Vittorio Emanuele and Queen Elena have been informed.

Princess Bona and Prince Konrad were married in January 1921.

Eugene is the couple's second child. They have a daughter, Amalie, who was born in December 1921.
Prince Konrad is the youngest son of Prince Leopold of Bavaria and Archduchess Gisela of Austria. His two sisters, Elisabeth and Auguste, are married to Count Otto von Seefried auf Buttenheim and Archduke Joseph of Austria, respectively, and his elder brother, Georg's marriage to Archduchess Isabella of Austria was annulled a year after it took place.

Prince Eugen was born in Munich on July 16.
