Life

His siblings were or are: Ulrich (1918-1929), Maria Hosanna (1924-1960), Charlotte (* 1927), Eleanor ( 1932-1983 ) and Aglae ( 1932-1984/1991 ). The first three siblings were from the first marriage of his father with Countess Szechenyi de Sarvar Katalin - Felsövidék ( 1893-1968 ).

In 1940 he emigrated with his mother to Argentina, where he lived until his death. 1942 Kinský inherited several estates of the family, including the Kinsky Palace in the Old Town Square in Prague.
