Habsburg jewels turn up in Quebec
This sounds like part of a Tintin story: a cache of jewels from the Habsburgs has turned up in a Quebec bank, although the specifics are not revealed here. They were thought to have been stolen or lost years ago.

A G&M article about this says they don’t want to reveal the specific bank because they’re a bit spooked after the recent heist at the Louvre.

It would be pretty cool if they went in exhibition at the musée nationale.

The descendants have said that they would like to display them in Canada as a thank you to the country for taking in the empress and for safeguarding the jewels.

When I first read the headline, I thought that the family also had no idea where they were. Which was not the case, but it’s still an interesting story.
