A member of the Coudenhove-Kalergi family, she is the daughter of Gerolf von Coudenhove-Kalergi and thus the niece of Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi. As ethnic German she was expelled from her hometown Prague during the ethnic cleansing of 1945/1946 that murdered or drove from their homes the more than 30% ethnic Germans, citizens of pre-war Czechoslovakia, from the territories of the country.
