Most? The only case in a European royal family in which a man who married a princess who was NOT the heir to the throne became a prince is Belgium: and Lorenz only became a prince of Belgium many years after his marriage - when they had ensured that his wife and children were in line to the throne to avoid Laurent (and his children) to end up on the throne in case Philippe didn't have any children.
So, it is the exception not the rule. And given that the house rules stipulate that children of Luxembourg princesses will carry their father's surname and don't provide any provision to make their husbands princes, it seems unlike that Alexandra's husband will be made a prince of Luxembourg (or Nassau).
Does his Linkedin say what his current profession is? The description in the announcement is rather vague.
Anyway, wonderful news. They make a beautiful couple.
We will see the Grand Duke lead his only daughter to the altar.
Where does Alexandra live?
Royal Musings: Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg to marryHe is a Publications Director, based in Paris. Mr. Bagory translated Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury's biography of St. Augustine. The French title is Sur Augustin.
As I wrote above, it happened numerous times in Spain, so while it is indeed still the exception and not the rule, Lorenz is not the only case in a European royal family.
Congrats to the couple. They've managed to fly under the radar, so that's great for both of them. I assume they live in Paris (as that's where Alexandra lived and her fiancé is French). The groom looks quite a bit older than his 33 years of age (he is turning 34 on Friday).
Do they even have the tradition of 'maid of honour'? I don't recall they did at Guillaume and Stephanie's wedding - of course, they do need witnesses.
Does Nicolas Bagory's family still belong to the French aristocracy?
It's a shame they didn't reveal some information about Nicolas's family, at least his parents' names and if he has any siblings.
I don’t think he comes from a noble family.Does Nicolas Bagory's family still belong to the French aristocracy?

I wonder what tiara Alex will wear and if the wedding will be in Luxembourg. Is there any tradition of marrying in any other church other than the cathedral in Luxembourg City?
Congratulations to the couple
Stephanie had 2 older bridesmaids, usually would be considered maids of honor: Alexandra was 21 and Antonia Hamilton (not sure age). And then all the child bridesmaids/pages. And 2 witnesses each for civil
Claire and Felix only had small children at the church though. (Alexandra and Claire's brother were civil witnesses.) Gabriel and Noah were pages and the daughters of Peter Frankopan were flower girls. ...
I guess it will be in the Cathedral of Luxembourg as that is the biggest Church in the country. And likely she will marry in Luxemborug. From the luxemburgian Princesses only 2 of Grand Duchesses Charlotte's sisters married abroad at Hohenberg Castle in Bavaria and from the one who married in Luxembourg only 2 did not take place at the Cathedral in Luxembroug City but in Colmar-Berg-

Finally, in 2021, it relaunched, with historian Philippe Delorme, the quarterly Dynastie.
Prince Charles will just be turning 3 at the time of the wedding. I think maybe a little too young?
But I can definitely see Felix's two children Liam and Amalia participating.[/QUOTE
3 year is not to young. My newhew was 2 1/2 when he was the pageboy in my wedding and he did so well.

Anyone else surprised that her religious wedding won’t take place in Luxembourg?
