I guess they all are living somewhere in France or in Europe right
now. The last time I've seeing them were at Mr. QTTT's party. ;-))))

His Imperial Majesty was married on March 20, 1934 in the sacred city
of Hue, to a Catholic South Vietnamese girl named Jeanette
Nguyen-Huu-Hao (Jeanne Marie-Thérèse (Mariette) Nguyen Huu-Hao Thi Lan
- 1914-1963) who later became Her Imperial Majesty Empress Hoang Hau
Nam Phuong (Empress of the South) She was born at Saigon, December
1914, the daughter of Pierre Nguyen Huu-Hao, Duke of Long-My. She gave
birth to several children including Prince Bao-Long (Crown Prince) and

After 10 years of service in the French military, he returned to
France where he worked in a bank. He never married and never had any
children, so has no heir apparent. The heir presumptive to the throne
is... His last public announcement came in 1997, when the Emperor Bao
Dai passed away in a Paris military hospital. Crown Prince Bao Long
inherited the position of head of the Nguyen Dynasty. Since then he
has lived quietly in Paris. Though there are some elements that wish
to see the monarchy in Vietnam restored.

Bao Dai was born Prince Nguy?n Vinh Th?y in Hue, then the capital of
Vietnam. His father was Emperor Khai Dinh. After being educated in
France, he became Emperor in 1925 , following his father's death, and
took the name Bao Dai (but is also known as Nguyen-Phuoc Thien or Vinh
Thuy) , but was subject to French control of his government—Vietnam
was part of French Indochina.
On March 20, 1934, at the imperial city of Hue, Bao Dai married Jeanne
Marie-Thérèse (Mariette) Nguyen Huu-Hao Thi Lan (1914-1963), who was
renamed Hoang Hau Nam Phuong, or "The Southern Empress". Bao Dai
converted to Catholicism upon his marriage to Jeanne.
Bao Dai had four other wives, three of whom he married during his
marriage to Nam Phuong: Phu Anh, a cousin, whom he married circa 1935;
Hoang, a Chinese woman, whom he married in 1946 (one daughter); Bui
Mong Diep, whom he married in 1955 (two children); and Monique Baudot,
a French citizen whom he married in 1972 and whom he first named
Princess Monique Vinh Thuy then renamed Thai Phuong Hoang-Hau.
