The Sovereign Princes of Liechtenstein tended to marry into noble families. However, among Hereditary Prince Alois’ ancestors are royals from Austria, Bavaria, Portugal, and Spain. Several members of the Liechtenstein princely family including two sovereign princes, Prince Aloys II and the current Prince Hans-Adam II, married into the Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau family. The Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau family originated in the Kingdom of Bohemia, now located in the Czech Republic, and rose from minor nobles to counts (1628) and to princely status (1747) under the rule of the Habsburgs.
Hereditary Prince Alois, the current heir, married Duchess Sophie in Bavaria, a member of the House of Wittelsbach, formerly the reigning house of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Sophie is also second in line to the Jacobite succession to the British throne. The Jacobites sought to restore the British crown to King James II of England after he was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and subsequently, to his heirs. The current Jacobite heir is Sophie’s childless uncle Franz, Duke of Bavaria, who has never pursued the claim. Franz’s heir is Sophie’s father, Maximilian, Duke in Bavaria who only has five daughters. As the eldest of her father’s daughters, Sophie will be his heir to the Jacobite claim and her eldest son Prince Joseph Wenzel is her heir.
