Prince Karl Johann Anton was born on June 14, 1803 in Vienna as the sixth child of the Lieutenant Field Marshal and Prince (from 1805 Prince) Johann I von und zu Liechtenstein and his wife Josefa Sophie, née Landgräfin zu Fürstenberg-Weitra (1776–1848).

When his father was made Prince of the Rhine Confederation by Napoleon in 1806 , but wanted to maintain his loyalty to the Austrian imperial family, Prince Johann I nominally transferred the reign of the Principality of Liechtenstein to his three-year-old son, but retained the guardianship. In 1813 Prince Johann I took over the reign again independently.
