Last weekend, the daughter of Grand Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg Henri and Marie-Therese, Princess Alexandra and her fiancé, 33-year-old French businessman Nicolas Bagory became husband and wife in a low-key civil ceremony at the Luxembourg city government. And on these, the couple continued their wedding festivities in France. And this time with a scope corresponding to the status.

At the walls of the Church of St. Trophime in Bormes-les-Mimosas, where journalists, fans and a whole crowd of onlookers had gathered since Saturday morning, the bride appeared in a white dress with barely open shoulders and pleated details. The tenderness of the wedding look was added by a long wadding adorned with beads and mother-of-pearl, a scattering of blue flowers in her hair, as well as a tiara from Chaumet with a lattice motif and teeth with diamond tips, which was worn by her great-grandmother, Grand Duchess of Luxembourg Josephine Charlotte. The father escorted the bride to the altar. And after the solemn ceremony, which took place behind closed doors, the lovers got into a convertible and left to the congratulatory applause of the crowd. They continued the celebration in a private format.

Alexandra and Nicolas announced their engagement last November. The official statement read:

Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess are delighted to announce the engagement of their daughter, HRH Princess Alexandra, to Monsieur Nicolas Bagory.

Alexandra is the only daughter and fourth child of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg. She is currently sixth in line to the throne. Interestingly, the princess received such an honor only after her 20th birthday – until 2011, she was excluded from the line of succession, until her father, Grand Duke Henri, accepted absolute birthright, which meant that all his descendants, regardless of gender, could be applicants to the throne of Luxembourg.

It is known that Alexandra is actively involved in the life of the royal family, but also works as a professional linguist. According to her online biography, the princess is fluent in four languages, including Luxembourgish, English, French and Spanish. He also speaks German and Italian. Throughout her studies in the United States, France and Ireland, the Luxembourgish royal showed a keen interest in international relations and conflicts. She even interned at the United Nations in New York when Luxembourg was one of its non-permanent members. She devotes her time to volunteering with refugee associations and loves sports, being a keen skier, dancer and tennis player.

As for Nicolas Bagory, he grew up in Brittany, a region in northwestern France. Now Nicolas is working on social and cultural projects in Paris, where he lives.
