Yes Kerry, they are. House Laws Part 1 Article 1 Nature and Membership:

(1) The Princely House of Liechtenstein is an autonomous family community established and organised at the level of the Constitution of the Principality, on the basis of the provisions of the dynastic statute hitherto in force. Its membership shall comprise members by birth or members by marriage.

(2) The Reigning Prince and all descendants in the male line of Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein (1760-1836), being issue of a recognised marriage, are members by birth. A princess whose membership is by birth does not lose such membership on her marriage...

(3) The consort of the Reigning Prince and the wives of princes are members by marriage, provided the marriage is recognised in accordance with this dynastic statute. Membership acquired through marriage is retained during widowhood.
