Note: Many thanks to our dear friend Hein Bruins, of Hein's Royal Genealogy Page, who kindly informed us of the birth of this newest descendant of Duke Roberto I of Parma and Piacenza!

Tristan de Bourbon Parme and his wife Shira Szabo have welcomed the birth of their first son, who has been named Imri. Imri de Bourbon Parme was born at London yesterday. The name Imri is Hebrew in origin; Imri is the name of two men in the Torah and Bible. The first Imri was a son of Bani, of the tribe of Judah (1 Chronicles 9:4). The second Imri was the father of Zaccur, who assisted Nehemiah in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 3:2).
