-
Princess Athénaïs Allegra Isabella de Ligne de la Trémoïlle was born 8 May 2014 as the middle child and second daughter of Prince Edouard de Ligne de la Trémoïlle & Princess Isabel  de Ligne de la Trémoïlle {Source}. She has two siblings{Source}:

  • Princess Althea Isabelle Sophie de Ligne de la Trémoïlle (2010)
  • 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:
  • Athénaïs: a version of Athena, meaning A cognate of the Greek Athēnē, an ancient name of unknown etymology borne in Greek mythology by the goddess of wisdom, skill, and warfare.
  • Allegra: Italian girl name meaning joyful, happy or lively.
  • Isabella: For her mother, Isabella Orsini
