In that case, the wife of Liechtenstein's heir is legally only HSH Hereditary Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein. All her Wittelsbach-related titles (i.e. Princess of Bavaria, Duchess in Bavaria), along with the style Royal Highness, are used only socially. Does not the republic of Germany likewise ban the use of titles, since the various states from which they derive no longer exist?
I believe that from the standpoint of the German government, she is a genuine princess -- but only of Liechtenstein.
