In this case, it was unusual for a princess to marry a commoner, said ORF nobility expert Lisbeth Bischof. Normally it is the other way around.
The Swiss tabloid "Blick" described the 28-year-old as "Europe's richest princess". The Princely House is considered to be very wealthy thanks to its bank and its ownership of real estate and forests. The current head of state of the constitutional hereditary monarchy is Prince Hans-Adam II. At 160 square kilometers, the principality in the heart of the Alps is only half the size of Bremen. It has around 40,000 inhabitants.
