The wedding of Princess Marie Caroline of Liechtenstein, daughter of Hereditary Prince Alois and Hereditary Princess Sophie, to Venezuelan businessman Leopoldo Maduro has just been confirmed.
According to Vanitatis, the Princely House of Liechtenstein revealed to the publication that the highly anticipated ceremony will take place on 30 August 2025.
While there is no official confirmation of where the ceremony will be held, it is reported that the nuptials will most likely take place at Vaduz Castle, the official residence of the Prince of Liechtenstein, H.S.H. Prince Hans-Adam II.
The Royal House added that “some final details will be communicated the week before the wedding.”
Princess Marie Caroline, 28, first announced her engagement to Leopoldo Maduro, 34, late last year, with the Liechtenstein royal household releasing an official press release to mark the occasion.
“H.S.H. the Hereditary Prince and H.R.H. the Hereditary Princess von und zu Liechtenstein are delighted to announce the engagement of their daughter, Princess Marie Caroline, to Mr Leopoldo Maduro Vollmer.”
Princess Marie Caroline, who is the second child of Prince Alois and his wife, Sophie, was born in Switzerland, where she began her education.
She later attended Malvern College in Worcestershire, England, before studying Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design in Paris and New York. Marie Caroline is not in line to the Liechtenstein throne.

Since Marie Caroline will be the first of Alois and Sophie’s four children to wed, the wedding is expected to be quite the lavish affair.
