Born Angela Gisele Brown, she’s of Afro-Panamanian descent. She’s married to Prince Maximillian of Liechtenstein, the second eldest prince.
She is a non-celebrity who married into royalty with full support of the throne. This was back in 2000. This helped pave the way for later royal-nonroyal marriages in the european monastic sphere.
Show this picture to anyone who says black girls can’t be princesses then ask them why they don’t have a palace.
The two went on to have an adorable son (Alfons, born in 2001)
Lookit those cheekies
This is her when she turned 57 by the way:
Some people can only hope to look this good.
That’s all really I just wanted to let yall know that black princesses exist in every form and fashion, even in Europe. So go on and flaunt those tiaras. Add extra sparkles too, since Liechtenstein is the 3rd richest country in the world. You wouldn’t want to be inaccurate.

Nguzo Saba: The Seven Days of Kwanzaa 2019 Digital Print Series
Honestly, I don’t know shit about this holiday even though I am African-American but it deserves recognition.
“Nguzo Saba” is a Swahili term for the seven principles that define Kwanzaa and its aspirations for the African-American community. The holiday is not religious and was created in the 1960′s with the intention to promote Pan-Africanism during a tumultuous time of racial tension in America.
Each day from December 26th to first day of the New Year represents a principle. Similar to the menorah on Hanukkah, a “kinara” holds seven candles for each day of the celebration and are lighted.
The principles and their terms are as follows in the order of each portrait:
Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsiblity), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith)
Happy Holidays and I look forward to 2020! Thank you.
