The hereditary margrave of Baden announced his engagement with the daughter of one of the richest families in Germany. Let's hope it's true love but I cannot escape the feeling that the future bride's financial background is quite welcome.
Since WW I we have seen Royals first marrying nobles and later marrying commoners. There are examples of great marriages and disastrous marriages with spouses from all three categories (royal, noble and commoner).

The crown princess of Sweden added the first drops of native Swedish blood in her children by opting for Daniel. The noble Claus von Amsberg turned out to be the.best decision of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands becoming the most popular and respected member of the Royal House.
