Hans-Adam II
The current monarch of Liechtenstein, His Serene Highness Prince Hans-Adam II, came to the throne in 1989. Unlike the twelve previous rulers of Liechtenstein, he grew up in the country, attending the local primary school. Under Prince Hans-Adam, Liechtenstein has joined the United Nations and developed closer ties with the European Union. The royal family lives in the castle that hangs precipitously above the capital.
