Family
Her father was Paul-Annik Weiller (1933–1998), the first son of the aviator Paul-Louis Weiller of the Gnome et Rhône Family and Miss Europe 1930 Aliki Diplarakos.
Her mother is an Italian noblewoman, Donna Olimpia Torlonia di Civitella-Cesi (born 1943), daughter of Don Alessandro Torlonia, 5th Prince di Civitella-Cesi and of Spanish Infanta Beatriz of Spain (daughter of King Alfonso XIII of Spain). Donna Olimpia is also a sister of Don Marco Torlonia, 6th Prince of Civitella-Cesi and a cousin of King Juan Carlos I of Spain as well as the American actress Brooke Shields (a granddaughter of Don Alessandro Torlonia's sister Donna Marina). She is also a descendant via her mother of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, because Olimpia Torlonia's grandmother, Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, Queen consort of Spain, was Queen Victoria's granddaughter.
Sibilla has three surviving sisters: Aliki Béatrice, Cosima and Domitilla. A younger sister, Laura, and brother, Paul, died in childhood.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“I worry about people who get born nowadays, because they get born into such tiny families—sometimes into no family at all. When you’re the only pea in the pod, your parents are likely to get you confused with the Hope Diamond. And that encourages you to talk too much.”
—Russell Baker (b. 1925)
“No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. You must be born into the family of the Walkers. Ambulator nascitur, non fit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every family has one passage of scripture they stumble over.”
—Chinese proverb.
