She was the third of six children born to Count Leon Michał Komorowski (Siedliska, 14 August 1907 - Fauvillers 3 September 1992) and his wife (married Warsaw, 25 July 1942), Princess Zofia Sapieha (Bobrek, 10 October 1919 - Herstal, 14 August 1997).

Upon the marriage of their eldest daughter, Mathilde, to Prince Philippe, Duke of Brabant, King Albert II elevated Anna Maria's husband, Jonkheer Patrick, and his two older brothers, Baron Henri d'Udekem d'Acoz and Jonkheer Raoul d'Udekem d'Acoz, to the rank of Count in the Belgian nobility on 4 December 1999. The title is hereditary in the male line and can be passed on to the male-line descendants of Anna Komorowska's son Count Charles-Henri d'Udekem d'Acoz.
Ancestry
Anna Komorowska's family, the Komorowskis, were members of the Polish aristocracy. The Komorowski family traces it roots to Dymitr Komorowski (c. 1340-?) and uses the Korczak coat of arms. Piotr Komorowski, was appointed “Count of Liptov and Orava”, in 1469 by King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary. Following the cessation of his direct lineage, the title "Count of Liptov and Orava" was inherited by Piotr's brother, Mikolaj Komorowski, and subsequently by his descendants. Among them, Jakub Komorowski, who passed away in 1781, was officially granted the countship by King Stanisław August Poniatowski in 1780. This honor has been maintained within the Komorowski family across subsequent generations.
Anna Komorowska's mother, Princess Zofia Sapieha, came from the Kodeńscy line of the Sapieha family, an illustrious Polish princely family.
