Royal Profile: Princess Althea de Ligne de la Trémoïlle

Princess Althea Isabelle Sophie de Ligne de la Trémoïlle was born 12 May 2010 as the first child of Prince Edouard Lamoral Rodolphe de Ligne de la Trémoïlle & Isabelle Orsini {Source}. She has two younger siblings {Source}:

• Princess Athénaïs Allegra Isabella de Ligne de la Trémoïlle (2014)
• Prince Antoine Tau Édouard Adrien de Ligne de la Trémoïlle (2019)

As Belgium is a monarchy which confers and recognizes hereditary titles of nobility, the right of Orsini and her Ligne la Trémoïlle children to the prefix of prince/ss and to the style of Highness is legal—not a courtesy title; all members of the House of Ligne have been entitled to princely rank and to the Altesse in Belgium since 31 May 1923 {Source: Genealogishes Handbuch des Adels: Furstliche Hauser Band XIV. Limburg an der Lahn, Germany: C.A. Starke Verlag. 1991. pp. 495, 498–499. ISBN 3-7980-0700-4.}


She was likely named:

• Althea: greek origin, meaning with healing power
•  Isabelle: her mother
•  Sophie: for  Princess Sophie, Countess of Nicolay
