| | Prince tells voters to hand over power in Liechtenstein | International | The Observer |
 | | High on a hill in a fourteenth century castle, Prince Hans Adam II von und zu Liechtenstein, Duke of Trappau and Jägerndorf and Count of Rietburg, literally and figuratively looks down on his subjects. |
 | | Clearly not amused with their shallow attempts at democracy, the prince wants his sovereign powers back and has asked the 17,000 voters of Liechtenstein to amend the 1921 constitution and allow him to become an absolute monarch again. |
 | | It has got so nasty that one former head of government, Mario Frick, a foe of the princely side, found a pig's nose nailed to his fence one morning. |
