Prince Nikolaus (1947- ), Princess Margaretha (1957- ) and Family: October 2004-

[Alexandra]

Princess Margaretha and Prince Nicolaus had a fourth child as well. Their first child died very soon after his birth. I found on a Swedish site a Liechtensteiner family tree with a mention of little Leopold.

Swedish is not my mother tonque, but I tried to translate it in English (which - you can see it - is neither my mother tongue... ).

The guy on the right, Prince Nikolaus, who is ten years older than his wife.

Did you know that their first stab at pro-creating led to a miscarriage?

you are right, their first son (Leopold) was born was born in May 1984 - but I thought he died the same month?

He died the day he was born.

Princess Margaretha is the daughter of Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg. She is born 1957 in Luxembourg (as the twin sister of Prince Jean) and married Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein (born 1947) in March 1982. Her husband is the brother of Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein. Princess Margaretha's sister Princess Marie-Astrid married Carl-Christian from Austria and her (Marie-Astrid's) children are Archdukes and Archduchess of Austria.

Princess Margaretha's children have the title of Liechtenstein
I have found two links for you that should interest you:

Here are the wedding photos of March 1982: Aren't they gorgeous?:)

After the death of her first child Margaretha grew very close to her aunt Queen Fabiola, who supported her a lot. Does the family still live in Brussels? Nicolaus is still Liechtensteins ambassador to the EU?

Nice pictures btw! Margaretha is wearing her mothers wedding tiara during her own wedding. I believe it was a gift from the belgian Congo to their Princess Josephine-Charlotte.

Austria isn t a monarchy anymore (since 1918) but that does not mean that her imperial family has died out, on the contrary, it blossomed! In my eyes it is the 'best' royal family of europe, with decent, hard working, discrete etc. members & I think that the Austrians werent to clever to kick emperor Karl out of the country (or empress Zita for that matter, she was just wonderfull).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't Jean and Helene seperated?

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

There are rumors that they divorced, but it is only speculation because Jean lives such a private life.

The names of the children


Princess Maria Anunciata (born the 12th May 1985) has a really pretty and melodious name, but it is also difficult to spell!:)

In the history there was a queen of Naples that was called Maria Anunciata Bonaparte living from 1782 to 1839.
Anunciata (or Annunciata) is an Latin-Italian name and it means the promising.

Princess Marie-Astrid (born 26th June 1987) has a name that has its roots in Princess Margaretha's family; thus her sister Archduchess Princess Marie Astrid from Austria also has that name. Astrid is a Skandinavian name meaning the rider of God

Prince Josef-Emanuel (born 20th May 1993) also has a difficult name. Josef is Hebrew and means God gives propagation. Emanuel is also Hebrew and means God with us.
