The Crown Prince of Sweden's Wedding: HRH The Hereditary Princess of Liechtenstein

Another new royal for the blog!  This is Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein, wife of Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein.  Sophie was both born and married royal -- she was Princess Sophie of Bavaria before her wedding.  Interesting tidbit: she's also expected to eventually inherit the Jacobite claim to the British throne -- talk about your convoluted royal puzzles, that's the grand-daddy of them!

I think Sophie looks just smashing in the Habsburg Fringe Tiara, a Liechtenstein family heirloom that was once apparently owned by the royal family of Austria.  Alois's grandmother, Princess Gina, wore the tiara often,  but these days, it's not seen frequently.  It's a shame, too -- it's one of the prettiest fringes I've seen!

    I think everyone went WOW!! when we saw this tiara appear. It was a case of "take that Benedikte!!" It kept appearing throughout the day, out-twinkling everything else. I would love to see this again!

    Oh, please come back, Sophie!!!

    That's one heck of a fringe! It's stunning! And I love the placing of the brooch: right where everyone can see it!

    I had never seen Sophie before but I am a huge fan after this. We need to see more of her and that tiara!

    The Liechtensteiners don't do a lot of the royal social whirl. I think they stay home and count their money - they are probably one of the richest families in Europe. Princess Sophie looks stunning in purple and that tiara.

    That fringe is amazing, and we all thought Ben would be proper narked when she saw it on Saturday. The dress is fab too, really lovely, and the booch is in a great place. A really good look for her.

    It's a very bad picture of her and her outfit. It also was more 'blueish'. She isn't a beauty, but I saw her live on television and she surely had one of the top three elegant dresses! No wonder, she has a hell of a big budget!

    Did she coordinate her dress with her husband's sash?

    Her Serene Highness, not Her Royal Highness

  9. Ella says on August 18th, 2010 at 3:20 PM :

    Bruno, she actually is a "Royal Highness," even though her husband is a "Serene Highness." Sophie was born HRH Princess Sophie of Bavaria, so the HRH was hers from birth, not through marriage.

    Oh!! thats true!! Sorry! My bad!

    this is lovely on Sophie, but she's worn a far more attractive one (in my opinion), on her wedding day. It's floral and absolutely beautiful. I'd like to see Ella Kay's comments on it.
