[1] Prince Alfred was an officer in the Austrian cavalry and served as a chamberlain to Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria until his death in November 1916.

As an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, he served as the attaché to the embassy in Montreal (where he was arrested on "the instance of the militia headquarters" in 1914 before being released),[6] and then in Washington, D.C.[7] Reportedly, to stifle his romance with Catherine Britton, he was sent to the consular service in San Francisco.
