A Venezuelan investbanker should fit well within the family. And now we also know that she herself works in fashion and that both of them are based in London.

Congratulations to Princess Marie Caroline and Mr. Leopoldo Maduro Vollmer

His family is very catholic. Landowners and the like. Very old money.

It will be a grand event, the Gotha will show up and we will probably get to see many of the young CPs represent their parents. I can't wait!!!

On a lighter note: Princess Angela will have someone -other than her husband and son- to talk Spanish to, lol.

Congratulations to the couple!

Totally unexpected!
Honestly, I thought she would end up married to a German or Austrian nobleman. But in the end they still find themselves in the same circles.
Congratulations to the couple!

Many Congratulations to the couple. And an emerald engagement ring! I’d like to get a closer look at that.

Isn't Leopoldo's mum a German or Austrian (her surname Vollmer sounds German)

Their eventual children will be surnamed Maduro y de Liechtenstein.

Congratulations to Princess Marie Caroline and Leopoldo!
I like the photograph of Leopoldo portraying King James VI of Scotland.

Wonderful news! They do make a good looking couple!

The Liechtenstein Princely family has been surprisingne with their choice of marriage makes. Recent marriages have been non-noble/royals.

None of Prince Nikolaus and Princess Margaretha's children married royals or nobles. I believe marriage of Nikolaus and Margaretha were the last time 2 royals from reigning houses married each other.

It is lovely news and many, many congratulations to them, but no he doesn't look like James VI. Nose, chin, face shape, eyes and mouth very different. James also had red in his hair when younger like both his parents.

That would indeed be the Venezuelan surname, not sure if they go with that tradition or just use one surname as is common in most of Europe. I guess it will also depend on the nationality of any children they may have.

 

[Adda]

Two surnames, first goes the paternal surname (Maduro) and then the maternal one (Vollmer).

Edited: just realised it's their future children's surnames that are being discussed. Princess Marie-Esmeralda comes to mind, her children are just "Moncada", like their father.

Given the very strong patriarchal tradition in the Liechtensteins, I think it would be nice if any children had their mothers name as well and a Counts title maybe of a village near the castle. I think Princess Nora's daughter has this (maternal name added).

Yes but Princess Nora husband was spanish and her daughter has as far as i know spanish nationality.
I don't think a countly title will be given to future children of Princess Marie Caroline, and it is likely that she will be assume her husbands surname and be adressed by it as it is the case for other married Liechtenstein Princesses
