I think that is Gina's youngest son, Prince Wenzel, at 2:09; he would have been about 12 here. He died in 1991 aged 28, although it's still unclear what caused his death.

According to a friend who lived in Lichtenstein for some years Prince Wenzel committed suicide after a long battle with depression, not at all helped by his family putting pressure on him to stop being a homosexual, something quite understandably beyond his power. I understand, or at least hope that they are quite regretful of it, but obviously they didn't want either the suicide or the homosexuality coming out, but it's basically common knowledge in Lichtenstein, even if the more conservative types- specifically the devout catholics, deny it.

@@hamishwhitehenderson5197 That's very, very sad. I've heard that too. Devastating. It was a different era, too bad he couldn't have found those who could support him.

@@brucee6123 yes it makes it especially sad watching him a child here.
