Guess Who's Dating the Prince of Lichtenstein ...
... none other than the lovely and talented Miss Adriana Lima:
The 25-year-old Brazilian model ... former girlfriend of rocker Lenny Kravitz is now reportedly dating Prince Wence of Lichtenstein, heir to a royal fortune Forbes estimates at $4 billion.And who, as every good Jacobite knows, is in the line of succession to the throne of Scotland, being a direct descendant of King James II and VII:
Most people of the Jacobite persuasion or even those with a passing interest in the subject, consider the present Duke Francis of Bavaria as the rightful King of Scotland, England, Ireland and France, Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay, Baron Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Great Steward of Scotland. (These are titles currently conferred upon Prince Charles, Prince of Wales) They refer to him as King Francis II. He styles himself as Hereditary Prince of Bavaria or Duke of Bavaria. I have never heard of him making any pretensions to the Scottish throne himself. This gentleman’s name is Franz Bonaventura Adalbert Maria von Wittelsbach and was born in Munich in 1933. He is descended from Princess Henrietta Anne, youngest daughter of King James II & VII. This princess was passed over for the succession by the Act of Abjuration enacted by parliament in 1701. His lineage is impeccable and well documented.So, if things work out, and Miss Lima marries the Prince, the Brazilian hottie could one day end up "Queen Adriana of Scotland".
The Duke is unmarried and childless. Therefore his heirs and successors are his younger brother Max-Emanuel who has five daughters, the eldest of which is Sophie. Sophie is married to Alois, Hereditary Prince of Lichtenstein and they have three children. The eldest being Joseph Wenzel [a.k.a. "Prince Wence of Lichtenstein"].
(ED.: by the way, the Stuart kings would be happy to know that the ruling Prince of Lichtenstein is the only absolute monarch in Europe)
I think Scotland - which tossed its last Catholic monarch, Mary Queen of Scots (not counting James II and his progeny) - just might be willing to accept a Catholic queen under those circumstances.
UPDATE (9 July 2006)
I've done a little more research on "Prince Wence", and I have no idea what his place is in the line of succession to the Scottish throne. At first, I thought he was Prince Joseph Wenzel. But as you can see, the kid's only 11 years old. So, it obviously ain't him.

Shameless plug to put a picture of Adriana Lima up! Well Done
As Buckley would say: "A jolt of champagne..."
"Queen Adriana of Scotland"
No doubt, her official title would be "Your Heinie-ness".
pb, that picture is lot easier on the eye than that one of Teddy Kennedy that Jay keeps posting!
Hmmm, such a lovely Catholic Queen. Reminds me of my old bumper sticker, "Practice Safe Government -- Use Kingdoms!"
