While I hardly know most of the counts and countesses mentioned here, I still like it that while in most cases no longer 'required' many of them tend to marry within the nobility.
Its a matter of marrying in your social circles which is quite common.
The continental aristos and former royals move in the same circle. They often attend the same schools. They manage to marry for love as well as marry titles because its common to find your partner in your social circle.
The groom's paternal grandmother was a Princess of Croy by birth.

Its the reason I always said that if any of QEII's grandchildren married a title it would be the York girls. Unlike their cousins, Beatrice and Eugenie moved in the royal and aristocratic circles on the continent. Beatrice has proven me right on that. For the most part Harry and William socialize with the landed gentry with a rare exception like Harry's hunting buddy and William at social events.
