The prince of Liechtenstein has abdicated the throne. After Anschluss in March, the Prince does not want to be on the throne should Germany take control of the small principality situated between Switzerland and Austria. He has named his third cousin Franz Josef as his successor.
Prince Franz is married to a Viennese woman named Elisabeth. His wife being a Jew has roused some anti-semitic remarks among Nazi sympathetic Liechtensteiners.
