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:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“Children need money. As they grow older they need more money. They need money for essentially the same reasons that adults need money. They need to buy stuff....They need it regardless of whether they get good grades, violate a family rule, or offend a parent.”
—Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)
“If you have this enormous talent, it’s got you by the balls, it’s a demon. You can’t be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn’t that nice a guy.”
—Dustin Hoffman (b. 1937)
