The Princely Family of Liechtenstein

Hello everyone,
Recently I purchased 3 books about the Liechtenstein Princely Family,
1 Hans Adam II Prince of Liechtenstein (biography) by David Beattie.
2 (Photobook) Die Furstliche Familie von Liechtenstein by Uve Harder in German.
3 (in German) Genealogie des Furstlichen Hauses Liechtenstein by Samuel C Dotson & of course The Family Tree of the House of Liechtenstein from Rosvall Quarterly, as I read & understand Dutch, English & German, so it is easy for me to follow these books & magazine.

Luxembourg is a grand duchy not a principality. Also, it is the largest of the small countries of Europe and the other five together could fit into it with room to spare.
