Dominic was born in 1937 at Sonnberg Castle (near Hollabrunn, Austria), where he was baptized Dominic Habsburg-Lothringen. In the family, he is nicknamed "Niki". In 1942, after spending the first few years of his childhood at Sonnberg Castle, he moved with his parents, his brother and his four sisters to Romania. There, Dominic resided with his family at Bran Castle in Braşov. After his first cousin, King Michael I of Romania, was forced to abdicate the throne in 1947, Dominic and his family were exiled by the Communist regime and sought refuge in Switzerland and Argentina before ultimately settling in the United States.
