Rest in peace Marie Aglaë, the consort with the most classical name.

Aglaë (Aglaïa) was the youngest of three daughters of Zeus. In Roman mythology these three became known as the Gratiæ (Graces). Aglaë was the Grace of Splendor.

No announcements have yet been made about Princess Marie's funeral.
Do the consorts of the Sovereign Princes of Liechtenstein have a state funeral?

I'm not sure that any consorts have been given a State Funerals which are are usually reserved for monarchs but there could be a Ceremonial funeral or possibly a private family one.

Not unexpected after a stroke but still hard for the family and especially her husband to process. She always seemed to be a kind lady. In these circumstances, it is good to know that she was surrounded by her family at her time of death and that she was spared further suffering.

If i remember it right the funerals of Fürstin Gina and Fürst Franz Josef in 1989 were quiet similar. but because of Corona it could be that is different this year.

Yes was thinking the same it will probably be a scaled back event.

The descendance of the late Fürstin is a who-is-who in the Austrian-Hungarian and German nobility and also sported "full quarters" as it is called: generations of only aristocratic ancestors. Back then in a "class-concsious society" as Austria-Hungary this was not without importance. The late Fürstin had Liechtenstein ancestors herself:

Princess Georgina was seen at an Orleans Wedding during Summer 1989 and passed suddenly away on 18/10/1989. I remember King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola did not attend the Funerals but came to Vaduz the day before..
One month later on 13/11/1989 her husband Prince Franz Josef II (15 years older) passed away.
Hans Adam and Marie were Furst and Furstin of Liechtenstein in very very sad conditions.
For the Funerals we will wait what the Family will decide. Their National Day a week ago was already with very few people .
Princess Marie was an elegant Lady and popular. Her Birthday was celebreted. They were at the first row at Archuke Otto's Funerals and song the Kaiser Hymn proudly.

It's a bit ironic that the one bringing commoner blood into the main line of the family is the Princess of Bayern.

You mean Sophie's grandmother Ottora Gräfin Douglas born Haas-Heye.

Yes, no aristocrat but for some reason the Haas-Heyes did belong to High Society as Sophie's great-grandfather Otto Haas-Heye managed to marry Viktoria, daughter of one of the Kaiser's closest friends, Philipp Fürst zu Eulenburg.

Since then they remained in that stratosphere. Otto Haas-Heye's descendants are a Duchess in Bavaria, a Princess of Liechtenstein, a Duchess of Marlborough and a Count Douglas. Quite impressive.

Impressive yes, but still not noble. Not to mention Jewish. Quelle horreur. In the old days of the Austro-Hungarian empire their descendants would be disqualified from high-ranking court positions and from some Imperial orders for generations. Thankfully things have changed.

The three Haas-Heye siblings lived interesting lives and if I could choose I'd rather be a descendant of them than the Eulenburgs.

Is it known how the fürst and fürstin met each other or were they acquainted from childhood as second cousins once removed or as part of the nobility in the Austrian-Hungarian sphere?
