Part II The 1994 photos!

All this photos were shot on a photo series of 2.July 1994.

1. Princess Maria Anunciata is the girl in the backround, Marie Astrid the girl before. In 1994 they have a lot of common ground (in the years which follows it will be more differences)
2.pool image
3.family trip
4. to 7. poll images
8. chess
9. near a lake
10. on this photo you see clearly the differences between both girls; Maria Anunciata is more fair-haired and wears her hair longer than her sister; for me she's the most beautiful from both

Next Wednesday the photo series will continue with Part III!:)

What exactly does von und zu mean?

[suturegeisha]

von und zu= "of". The Liechtenstein royals use this as their nobility particle. Some German royal houses simply say "zu", for example, Prinz zu Reuss. Literally it means "of and too".
Same thing with "de", it means of in French. So Guillaume de Luxembourg means Guillaume of Luxembourg.

The particular birthdays of Princess Margaretha and her children

It seems that the fifth month of the year, May, is in the estate of Princess Margaretha! See how strange:


Princess Margaretha was born the 15th May 1957

Princesse Maria Anunciata was born the 12th May 1985

Prince Josef-Emanuel was born the 7th May 1989

(Prince Leoplod-Emanuel was born the 20th May 1984) (but he died the same day!)

Only Princess Marie Astrid with the birthday on 26th June 1987 is an exception, although the June is not far away from the May.

The May is the month of fertility, and brings luck und love. I wish Princess Margaretha and her family that this proverb will be true for their whole lifes!:)
