I see :)
Do the Liechtensteins associate much with the other royal families? |

Thanks again Warren. What do you mean about the "Gotha?"
I like that they are low key. That's admirable. But usually that makes photographers go into overdrive trying to catch a glimpse. They must be well respected to be left alone. I may have to venture to that side of teh world to see them up close :p |

I am amazed too that while living in Germany, the press doesn't seem to bother them. You rarely see pictures of the family at all. It kind of throws a major wrench in the royal watching of this couple, but I very much respect their privacy, and wanting to be left alone. Maybe when Alfons comes of age, we might see more photos of the family. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Exactly my point. You would think that there would be a paparazzi frenzy because they are so elusive. But on the other hand, it is refreshing that little to no scandal is associated with a royal house.
Also, posted somewhere within TRF, someone mentioned that they were voted favorite couple in Germany. Would be nice if a forum member over that way could post more info on them. I'll keep my fingers crossed.:) |

Quote:
Napoleon Bonaparte declared the Empire a relic of the past and the Emperor abdicated the position in 1806 (after adding 'Emperor of Austria' to his titles in 1804 immediately after Bonaparte proclaimed himself Emperor of the French). Following the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars the map of Central Europe was re-drawn at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Most of the little sovereign states were formally absorbed into the territory of their larger neighbour (not always willingly); the former sovereigns of the pocket principalities ceased to rule, and now owed allegiance firstly to their local King, Grand Duke, Duke or Prince. So in terms of feudal allegiance the dispossessed former rulers now had a new liege lord between themselves and the Emperor of Austria, thus the term "media" or "between". As compensation for the loss of sovereign status the several hundred affected families were declared to be Ebenbürtigkeit ("equal") to the reigning Houses in terms of marriage eligibility and social ranking, plus other privileges, and became known as the "Mediatised Sovereign Houses of the Holy Roman Empire".

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I was wondering if anyone might know where there are any recently posted photos of this very interesting royal couple or their cute little son Alfons?

I'm afraid this is a fairly private family so we don't have recent pictures of Alfons. However you might want to have a look at these posts. Enjoy! http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/124272-post51.html http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...4-post106.html

I think he is 5 years old. Angela & Max married in 2000, and Alfons was probably born in 2001.

Alfons certainly is an adorable little boy. Are Prince Maximilian and Princess Angela close to the Prince's family, and do they have any other children?

I think Alfons is their only child. I can't speculate on how close they are with the rest of the family. I do know Angela is Godmother to one of her sister in law's children.
