She was raised in Hong Kong with her two socialite sisters Pia Getty and Alexandra von Furstenberg – the latter married a royal too, Diane von Furstenberg’s son, Prince Alexander

Her kids’ clothes brand Marie-Chantal includes clients Kim Kardashian and Victoria Beckham – she’s also pals with Paris Hilton and has five children

Hong Kong isn’t exactly the first place we think of when it comes to royalty, but that is exactly where a European princess spent most of her formative years.
