Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein (alternate spellings: Wenceslao, Wenceslas, Wenceslaus)[1] of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein was born on May 12, 1974 in Uccle, Belgium.

Prince Wenzeslaus has become something of a society column figure on account of his relationship with Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima.[5] The society columns such as Page Six of the New York Post have tagged him with the nickname of Prince Wence (pronounced: Vince). There has been some confusion over what he prefers to be called, the most popular choice being Vincent, which led to the nickname "Vince the Prince".

His father is President of the LGT Bank in Liechtenstein which is privately owned by the Prince of Liechtenstein Foundation. Prince Wenzeslaus is the nephew of the reigning sovereign Fürst Hans Adam II and the first cousin of Alois, Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein, who is Regent since 2004.
