Hello,

Welcome to the forum. I don't know if this will be moved since Angela already has a thread. But I think you make valid points. It was shocking to me at first that Angela did not receive as much attention as say Grace Kelly when she married a prince IN the US. But the more I learned about my favorite royal family, the more I realized that: 1. Angela is press shy and doesn't think that anyone would be interested in her 2. not many people know about the Princely family in the US and 3. the family is very private. We also don't know much about the other wives such as Princess Astrid (also a commoner) and Princess Marie (Constantine's wife).

I think the press in the US is definitely racially biased, and that has something to do with why there is no coverage of Angela and will probably never be. But part of me wonders if she and Max like it like that. They seem to have a nice life. They are integrated into royal society (as far as I can tell from the few pics I've seen of them at weddings). They are raising a son. My guess is Angela like being unknown. I don't think her race is a factor in Europe at all because I've noticed that Europeans are more open about interracial marriages. And Angela has proven herself to not cause any scandal to the family or disgrace the legacy of Liechtenstein.
