Her Serene Highness Princess Angela von und zu Liechtenstein, formerly Miss Angela Brown, was born February 3, 1958, as a daughter of Mr. Javier Francisco Brown and Mrs. Silvia Maritza Brown, née Burke, in Bocas del Toro, Panama. After having finished primary school and high school in New York, Miss Brown studied fashion at Parsons School of Design, where she was awarded the Oscar de la Renta Prize.

On January 29th, 2000, at 11:00am, Prince Maximilian von und zu Liechtenstein married Angela Brown at the Saint Vincent Ferrer Church, New York. Angela Brown wore a simple and elegant white dress that she designed, and the same Liechtenstein tiara Princess Tatjana wore when she married Philipp von Lattorff in June 1999 held her veil. Present were Prince Hans-Adam II and his wife Marie, Prince Alois and his wife Sophie, Prince Constantin and his wife Marie and Princess Tatjana with her husband Philipp von Lattorff. The few hundred other guests were most family and friends of bride and groom.
The couple met some years ago in New York at a reception and became friends. It seems it was not until the summer of 1999 that they started a relationship.
Prince Maximilian and his wife Angela have one son, Prince Alfons born in 2001.
Princess Angela is the only black Princess in a European dynasty.
