Prince Joseph Wenzel, Princess Marie-Caroline, Prince Georg and Prince Nikolaus

[Blog Real]

This is a topic about the unknown (yes are practical unknown) children of Crown Prince Alois and Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein.
We know virtually nothing about them (education, relationships, etc.) and photos are also few that exist.
In this topic we can discuss these and other matters about these princes.

Prince Joseph Wenzel​

Any news on Joesph Wenzel?

Any news on Joesph Wenzel?

There is no news. He does not usually participate in official principality activities (at least that are public or that there are photos), it is not known if he works in the family business or if he has a girlfriend.

 

[Heavs]

I remember rumours that he was studying for an MBA in the US but I have no idea how true that is.

 

[kathia_sophia]

The Princely Family of Liechtenstein are very private, they have always been. Though I must say that I find it odd that we don't see pictures of the eldest son and heir of the heir Joseph Wenzel. He is almost 26 years old, quite odd that he doesn't do any official engagements. We have seen more of Jacques in Monaco and Charles in Luxembourg than we have seen Joseph Wenzel.


I wonder if he is simply not interested (may want to have a different kind of life), or maybe he is still studying (Master's degree probably...).

 

[Mbruno]

If I am not mistaken, Prince Joseph Wenzel is currently fourth in the Jacobite line of succession to the (separate) thrones of England and Scotland.

 

[Heavs]

Here's the Eurohistory article which announced his 25th birthday last year which also suggests he is doing an MBA although it's not where I saw it before.

There are a couple of old Luxarazzi interviews with him linked if anyone's interested.

Is Prince Joseph Wenzel on social media (facebook, instagram)?

 

[Alisa]

Last I read and heard he was dating an American socialite and doing graduate studies.

Where did you read that?

I found information about Prince Joseph Wenzel's girlfriend on a blog

That was back in 2017 and I heard and read that ended.

Well to be fair they are very private and don't need to be in the spotlight. I think he's doing his MBA and probably getting private lessons to learn how to run the state and LGT company.

I leave here a link to a 2015 interview of Prince Joseph Wenzel.
A very interesting interview and may you learn more about the prince.

Yes, he does have Instagram and Facebook. But it is private and doesn't accept request from people he doesn't know in person

A smart decision, especially in his position.

A smart decision, especially in his position.

He said in an interview once he is lucky that many people don't know or heard much about Liechtenstein so he had a normal upbringing.

 

[Mbruno]

Line of succession from Charles I of England and Scotland to Prince Joseph Wenzel of Liechtenstein:


Charles I of England and Scotland > Henrietta of England> Anne Marie of Orléans > Charles Emmanuel III of Sardinia > Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia > Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia > Princess Maria Beatrice of Savoy> Archduke Ferdinand Karl Viktor of Austria-Este > Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria-Este > Rupprecht, Crown Prince of Bavaria > Albrecht, Duke of Bavaria > Max, Duke in Bavaria > Sophie, Duchess in Bavaria > Josef Wenzel of Liechtenstein.

I knew some people who went in the same school with Prince Wenzel and they all said that he was a really nice guy. He was dating this regular girl from New Jersey that studied at Georgetown, for a while but than they broke up like 1 year and half ago. It's was a serious relashionship but nobody really knows why they broke up.
His brother Georg is basically a party boy. He mainly hangs out with other austrian and german aristocrats. I heard that he had a relashionship with Anna Guttemberg.
Marie Caroline and Nikolaus are more low key profile

Are you saying Wendell hangs out with Austrian and German aristocrats or his brother Georg does?

Who is Anna Guttemberg? Is she an aristocrat?

 

[Marengo]

I suppose Anna von u. zu Guttenberg is probably meant, the daughter of the disgraced politician Karl Theodor von u. zu Guttenberg, Angela Merkel's short-lived minister of Economic Affairs in 2009, and his wife Css Stephanie von Bismarck.

 

[Biri]

His brother Georg hangs out.

According to this royalpedia page Anna is living in the USA. Is Georg also studying in the USA? In terms of age it makes sense as her date of birth is recorded as 5 May 2001; and Georg was born on 20 April 1999.

 

[Magnolia471]

I was talking about Georg. He seems more snobbish to me than his sibilings. His friends are just other wealthy aristocrats. Wenzel hangs out with several people outside that circle

No, Georg is studying Economics at St Gallen University HSG.

I heard about England, but I can't tell for sure.

Oh that’s interesting. Well that’s a good trait in Wenzel since he is going to be the reigning prince of Liechtenstein. Is Georg the youngest brother?

No, Nikolaus is the youngest one.

 

[dvorets]

I believe all four attended Malvern College in England. Wenzel, Georg and Nikolaus all definitely did. Nikolaus left in summer 2019. His friends were mainly wealthy German/Dutch/Belgian students.
