Yes, I too heard that exact same thing. The Liechtenstein Royals pay for themselves. They don't do extravagant spending like other royals at the tax payers expense. The monarchy there is actually very good for that country because it doesn't cost the tax payer a dime. And it brings in money into the country, so the royals give way more than what they receive. That is the one thing that I admire about that country!
Well....
as a german and europinian i guess my opinion is total different.
To me Liechtenstein with the royal family is a very sad joke. Though the complete topic is very political. So I won't tell you my true opinion about this state and family!
We the europeans and not only the europeans have to pay for there life style. The royal family of Liechtenstein is incredibly rich. Why? Because Liechtenstein is a tax haven and nothing else. We the member of other countries have to pay for this! So the royal family participate of this fact and doesn't need any other money to support them. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Liechtenstein royal family wish to be seen as modest or not.
