A new royal wedding is on the way as Princess Leopoldine of Liechtenstein confirmed that she was engaged to her fiancé Bruno Walter Pedrosa João.

The news was confirmed by Jean, Count of Paris, who is the head of the House of Orleans and a legitimate heir to the abolished French throne. On Instagram, Jean shared a picture of the happy couple and wrote: "LL. AA. SS. Prince Gundakar and Princess Marie of and in Liechtenstein are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Princess Leopoldine, to Mr. Bruno Walter Pedrosa João."

The royal was born on 27 June 1990, however, in the post confirming her engagement, no date was set for her prospective marriage.

Leopoldine's father married her mother in 1989 and alongside the princess, the pair have welcomed four other children, Princess Marie Immaculata, Prince Johann, Princess Margarete and Prince Gabriel.

Liechtenstein operates under agnatic primogeniture rules meaning that Leopoldine and her sisters aren't in line for the throne.

Leopoldine's wedding isn't the only upcoming union for the Liechtenstein royals as in October it was confirmed that Hereditary Prince Alois's daughter, Princess Marie Caroline, was engaged to Leopoldo Maduro Vollmer.

Marie Caroline will be the first of Alois and Sophie's four children to wed. The couple are also parents to Prince Joseph Wenzel, Prince Georg and Prince Nikolaus.

The last major royal wedding for the family was the marriage of Princess Marie Astrid to Ralph Worthington in Tuscany in 2021.
