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... ).

Princess Margaretha and Family: News and Pictures, Part 1 (October 2004 - )

Does anybody have more recent photos of Princess Margarethas two daughter Maria Anunciata and Marie Astrid!!!!


Please show them!!!! All I found were old photos!

 

[suturegeisha]

Here you go....I could only find one recent picture of the two girls [who are very pretty, by the way]. This was taken at the beatification of Emperor Karl of Austria in Rome 10.2.2004. From left to right are Maria Annunciata, Marie Astrid, Josef Emanuel [handsome!], Margaretha, and Nikolaus.

[hillary_nugent]

[hrhcp]

who is their father?

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?

 

[drimal]

Thank you hrhcp for this photo. Can you give me the link of the page please?

 

[suturegeisha]

Thank you hrhcp for this photo. Can you give me the link of the page please?

Well, actually, it was me who posted the picture.

The page I got it from is RPH:

Royal Press Holland

[stacy]

Actually, it wasn't a miscarriage- their first son was born, but I believe he died when he was five months old. My info on this is extremely spotty, but I am sure that he was indeed born.

-Kara-

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

 

[Sancia]

He died the day he was born.

[hillary_nugent]

thanks Drimal ^__^ i didn't know Austria was still a monarchy...are any of the above Royals the next heir to the throne?

 

[suturegeisha]

I love that last picture, where the girls have Josef Emmanuel stretched over their laps and are poking at him, like "what that heck is this?" Heh.

[drimal]

thanks Drimal ^__^ i didn't know Austria was still a monarchy...are any of the above Royals the next heir to the throne?

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:

http://www.geocities.com/henrivanoene/genliechtenstein.htm
http://www.btinternet.com/~allan_raymond/Liechtenstein_Royal_Family.htm

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

 

[Marengo]

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.

thanks Drimal ^__^ i didn't know Austria was still a monarchy...are any of the above Royals the next heir to the throne

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).

 

[suturegeisha]

No, I am sorry. I saw their pictures in the point de vue issue which featured the baptism of Prince Jeasn (Guillaume & Sybilla's son) but I have no scanner. I haven t seen any pictures of the baptism online (yet). Gabriella and Constantin attended + Prince Jean (their father) Helene was absent, she never seems to attend family functions.

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

 

[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.

Part II The 1994 photos!

All this photos were shot on a photo series of 2.July 1994.

1. Princess Maria Anunciata is the girl in the backround, Marie Astrid the girl before. In 1994 they have a lot of common ground (in the years which follows it will be more differences)
2.pool image
3.family trip
4. to 7. poll images
8. chess
9. near a lake
10. on this photo you see clearly the differences between both girls; Maria Anunciata is more fair-haired and wears her hair longer than her sister; for me she's the most beautiful from both

Next Wednesday the photo series will continue with Part III!

 

[Beate]

Thanks for the great pics of Margaretha and her family. I enjoy them very much! Do you have many more?

 

[Beate]

I am very much looking forward to those! Thanks for your great work..I have an old German book by Margret Duenser which has a few nice pics of the Luxembourg family.Both princesses are very pretty..Since the pics are in a book they are hard to scan.Otherwsie I would have done so already

Since all the Belgium, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein royals are all cousins do they meet up often? are they close?
