Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein.

London, 18 May 2001), is in the
line of succession to the Liechtensteiner throne. On 29 January 2000, at 11:00 am, she married Prince Maximilian at the

The marriage was groundbreaking, bringing a person of Afro-American
ancestry into one of the few still reigning families in Europe by a
marriage which obtained the prior consent and full support of the
groom's sovereign and father, who also attended the wedding.
