Marie, Princess of Liechtenstein

Born Countess Marie Aglaë Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau on 14 April 1940, she came from the House of Kinsky, an old Bohemian noble line. She married Prince Hans-Adam II and became Princess of Liechtenstein when he took the throne on 13 November 1989. For the next three decades she occupied the peculiar position of consort in a microstate where tradition still governed visibility and where her husband's political maneuvers often overshadowed the palace's quieter figures. She died on 21 August 2021, having outlasted most of the twentieth century's European royal upheavals.
