#1715 Liechtenstein


The House of Liechtenstein, from which the principality takes its name, is the family which reigns by constitutional, hereditary right over the nation of Liechtenstein. Only dynastic members of the family are eligible to inherit the throne. The dynasty's membership, rights and responsibilities are defined by a law of the family, which is enforced by the reigning Prince and may be altered by vote among the family's dynasts, but which may not be altered by the Government or Parliament of Liechtenstein.

Hans-Adam II (Johannes Adam Ferdinand Alois Josef Maria Marco d'Aviano Pius; born 14 February 1945) is the reigning Prince of Liechtenstein. He is the son of Franz Joseph II, Prince of Liechtenstein (1906–1989) and his wife Countess Georgina von Wilczek (1921–1989). He also bears the titles Duke of Troppau and Jägerndorf, and Count Rietberg. Hans-Adam is the richest monarch in Europe.

Marie Aglaë, Princess of Liechtenstein (born a Countess Kinsky of Wchinitz and TettauCzechhraběnka Kinská z Vchynic a TetovaGermanGräfin Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau; April 14, 1940) is the wife of Prince Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein. By birth, she is a member of the House of Kinsky.
