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 is best for all parties in the combined family to take matters slowly, to use the crock pot instead of the pressure cooker, and not to aim for a perfect blend but rather to recognize the pleasures to be enjoyed in retaining some of the distinct flavors of the separate ingredients.”
—Claire Berman (20th century)
“The family circle has widened. The worldpool of information fathered by the electric media—movies, Telstar, flight—far surpasses any possible influence mom and dad can now bring to bear. Character no longer is shaped by only two earnest, fumbling experts. Now all the world’s a sage.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
