Liechtenstein mourns the loss of Prince Constantin, youngest son of ruling prince
The royal family of Liechtenstein has mourned the sudden death of Prince Constantin, who was 51 years old, early in December.
The Liechtenstein royal family expressed grief over the unexpected demise of Prince Constantin, the youngest son of Prince Hans Adam II, the ruler of Liechtenstein, on Tuesday, December 5. He was indeed only 51 years old. They announced the death of this royal family member through an official statement the next day.
"He is survived by his wife, Princess Maria, and their three children: Prince Moritz, Princess Georgina, and Prince Benedikt. Prince Constantin served as the chairman of the supervisory board of Liechtenstein Group AG, and was an active member of the board of Liechtenstein Group Holding AG," reads the statement.
Prince Constantin, the seventh in line to the throne, had two elder brothers.
Who was the late Prince Constantin?
Prince Constantin pursued a career in law. He devoted eleven years of his life to serving as the CEO and chairman of the board of the Prince of Liechtenstein Foundation. This foundation oversees nearly all the royal family's assets, including one of the largest private art collections globally.
Constantin married Marie in 1999, with whom he shared three children. Their loss comes just two years after the death of his mother, Princess Marie Aglaë Bonaventura Theresia von und zu Liechtenstein, who passed away following a stroke in August 2021.
The royal family has yet to disclose the cause of Prince Constantin's death.
Liechtenstein's parliament honored the late royal with a minute of silence on Wednesday.
At this time, no details about the prince's funeral have been released.
