Prince Georg of Liechtenstein is engaged to marry Princess Maria-Nives von der Leyen, with a wedding planned for the late summer of 2027 in Germany. The engagement was officially announced in late August by the groom’s parents, Hereditary Prince Alois and Hereditary Princess Sophie, setting aside prior social media speculation linking the prince elsewhere.
Prince Georg of Liechtenstein and Princess Maria-Nives von der Leyen will marry in Germany in the late summer of 2027. Hereditary Prince Alois and Hereditary Princess Sophie announced the engagement of their third child in late August, confirming that the royal’s future lies with the von der Leyen family rather than European social media rumors.
Background and Professional Lives of the Engaged Royals
Princess Maria-Nives von der Leyen was born in 2001 in Landsberg am Lech, Germany, as the youngest daughter of Prince Philipp von der Leyen and Princess Elisabeth von der Leyen. Following her studies, she gained professional experience in Berlin before taking a position at a marketing agency in Vienna in late 2024.
Prince Georg, born in 1999, is the third child of Hereditary Prince Alois and Hereditary Princess Sophie. His academic background includes studies at the University of St. Gallen and the ESCP Business School. He currently works in New York in the technology sector.
Dispelling Prior Royal Rumors
The engagement clarifies speculation that previously circulated across social media platforms in September 2025. Unverified online reports had linked Prince Georg to Princess Elisabeth, the eldest daughter of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium, after an image surfaced online suggesting a connection between the two young royals.
While the Belgian royal court declined to comment on Princess Elisabeth’s private life, officials in Liechtenstein later clarified that the widely shared photograph was not authentic and had been generated using artificial intelligence. Neither court ever officially confirmed a romance, putting an end to the narrative of a matched European royal pairing as Prince Georg moves forward with his upcoming marriage to Princess Maria-Nives.
