Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein was born on February 14, 1945, in Zurich, Switzerland. He was the eldest of the five children of Prince Franz Josef II of Liechtenstein and Countess Georgina von Wilczek. His father succeeded as Prince of Liechtenstein upon the death of his childless great-uncle Prince Franz I of Liechtenstein in 1938. Hans-Adam’s paternal grandparents were Prince Aloys of Liechtenstein and Archduchess Elisabeth Amalie of Austria. Archduchess Elisabeth Amalie’s father Archduke Karl Ludwig of Austria was the younger brother of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, the father of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, whose assassination ignited World War I, and the grandfather of Karl I, the last Emperor of Austria. Hans-Adam’s maternal grandparents were Ferdinand, Count of Wilczek and Countess Norbertine Kinsky of Wchinitz und Tettau. Hans-Adam married Countess Marie Aglaë of Wchinitz and Tettau and had three sons and one daughter.
Prince Hans-Adam has 23 paternal first cousins and no maternal first cousins because his mother was an only child. He shares his first cousins with his siblings Prince Phillipp Erasmus of Liechtenstein, Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein, Princess Nora of Liechtenstein, and Prince Wenzel of Liechtenstein.
