Elisabeth Kaufman

Elisabeth Kaufman (21 July 1938 in Koningstad) is a Brunanter former scientist and banker.

Biography
Kaufman is the daughter of Alexander Kaufman, a Brunanter banker, and Ingrid Van Draak, a daughter of Prince Eugen of Brunant and a granddaughter of King Johan I, meaning that Elisabeth was by birth in the line of succession to the Brunanter throne. Her father died a couple of months after her birth in 1938 and her uncle, Hermann Kaufman, took over her father's company until Elisabeth joined Kaufman Investments in 1958 and took over the company herself five years later at very young age.

She retired with banking in the late 1980s and decided to do something with her studies from the late 1950s when she attended the Royal University of Koningstad. Becoming a scientist, Kaufman travelled around Europe and did research with main European universities, mainly in Switzerland, France, Austria and the Scandinavian countries. Her mother died in 1994 and Elisabeth retired of all work some years later. She is living in Koningstad with her husband.

Personal life and family
About her father's family is little is known. A lot of relatives are living in the United States and it has been suggested her father was from Germany, however, no sources can confirm this. Her mother was the youngest child of Prince Eugen and his Spanish wife. Elisabeth's great-grandfather is King Johan I.

She married banker William Hoghes from Brunant in 1969. They have no children.
