Hereditary Prince Alois speaks out for only allowing males to rule Liechtenstein, saying this maintains "stability" and avoids having too many members of the princely family.

The latter statement is an odd one coming from the regent of a family with over 100 members, per its website, and no plans to revise the House Law to limit the membership of the Princely House.
His first statement is odd too. Maintains stability? Do all the other reigning European royal families - which allow female succession - lack stability?
And "real power" in the hand of a woman is a threat to the stability of the country?
There were many eminent Reigning Queens in many European Countries.
Not the woman is the problem - quite the opposite: Queen Elisabeth the Great forced the English men to become superheroes, Catherine the Great did this with the Russians. Jeanne d'Arc comes to mind...
The Problem seems to be: If the girls do no longer marry outside of the family, but stay on the royal list with their kids and their kids, then the families will be much bigger with much more costs and perhaps even infighting. Not every family has rules like the British Royal Family, where the non-members of the nuclear family simply fall off the civil list and get simply no money anymore.

Actually i think she looked better at the Staatsfeiertag in 2019 then she did in 2020. Let's see if she will be present at the birthday greetings for her husband in FebruaryNot surprising. She looked to be quite frail on her last public outing. I don't think we will see her Staatsfeiertag this year.
