Happy Birthday, Prince Christian of Hanover!

On June 1st, Prince Christian of Hanover celebrated his 26th birthday. He is the Prince Ernst-August of Hanover second son and, let's say it, quite good looking. Can you imagine being at a table with him and his stepbrothers, the Casiraghis?

Yeah, let's not imagine that. Happy birthday to him, and we are glad to have him on our Royal Bachelors list ;)

But who is the stunning Princess Maria-Anunciata of Liechtenstein?

Last week, I published photos of the royal families attending the Beatification of Pope John Paul II in the Vatican. Since I read on Mad Hattery that Princess Maria Anunciata of Liechtenstein was there, I wanted to know 1/who was she, really? 2/maybe I could find who all these people sitting behind, happily chatting with Prince Louis and Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume were.

Princess Maria-Anunciata with sister Princess Marie-Astrid, brother Prince Josef-Emanuel, mother Princess Margaretha and father, Prince Nikolaus.

Here is the family! Princess Maria-Anunciata (first on the left) is the eldest daughter of Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein (do not get him confused with Prince Nikolaos of Greece) and Princess Margaretha of Luxembourg. 


She was born Princess Maria-Anunciata Astrid Joséphine Veronica of Liechtenstein in Brussels, Belgium, in the very posh neighborhood of Uccle on May 12th, 1985. She will turn 26 next week and has a spot on the "let's get them married soon" category among the royals. 


Her younger sister, Marie-Astrid, is 23 and Josef-Emanuel turned 22 today, May 7th.
