I guess you would really have to look at the math. There are over 100 princes and princess currently holding the title of His/Her Serene Highness of Liechtenstein.

I believe there is no rule for who is a HSH Prince(ss) and who isn't, as long as it is in the male line.

Check out this from Liechtenstein tourism. Liechtenstein - Princely Family

I've also been on a site that had every present living prince and princess. I'll see if I can find it again.

They are all descending from Fürst Franz Joseph I. See link for the Genelogy:
Liechtenstein

There is no limit for how many Generations the Title Prince/Princess of Liechtenstein can pass in the male line and as the mostly have/had many children, there are a lot of lines now.

Thanks Stefan. Not the one I had in mind but still eliminates me having to look for it.

Max looks so handsome with the slightly longer hair. I wonder if Angela got a nice pearl present?

Why are they selling their art? And I am assuming that they are not selling all of it?

If I remember correctly, they are tremendously wealthy, so I can't imagine that they are in need of funds.

I seriously doubt that its about funds. The article stated that the family has been collecting for over 400 years. Wow!!! I imagine that it's time to "clean house" and possibly collect other works. Besides, they have so much that they've never been able to properly use it all.

Hmmm. Imagine that!

They have too much art. The family has been collecting art for over 400 years. As the article mentions some pieces just haven't been placed so they are selling them.
Perhaps they will use the funds to buy even more valuable pieces either for their own personal collection or to display at the Liechtenstein Museum in Vienna or the Kunstmseum in Vaduz.

Thanks for the link, BB. There are 462 items to be auctioned off with their estimated bid range. Most, if not all, might go higher than expected. Highly coveted items? I think worldwide, museums and private collectors are going to have a field day!

Here's an article from last year that gives us a little more insight into the family's history with art. Hans Adam also speaks of the family's museums. Thought I would post the article here since we've been on the subject of art.

Europe's greatest museum buyer explains the strategy behind his acquisitions

LONDON. In June we revealed that Liechtenstein, Europe's smallest country, is now its biggest museum buyer. Although figures are not publicly available, we reported that the head of state, His Serene Highness Prince Hans-Adam II...
