Tessy, a Princess All Along?
When we discovered that the cour grand-ducale had uploaded a few new visuals to the section of Prince Louis and Princess Tessy, we also had a look at their biographies as new pictures often also mean biographical updates and right we were. However, the changes brought up a whole lot of confusion because it makes some weird statements that seem to rewrite history.
The French and German version of Princess Tessy's biography now state that upon her marriage in 2006, the former Tessy Antony became "Her Royal Highness Princess Tessy of Nassau" and in 2009 received the titles of Princess of Luxembourg (German and French versions) and Princess of Bourbon-Parma (French version).
Now, especially the first part will come as a big surprise for any follower of the Grand Ducal Family, as in 2006 the cour grand-ducale issued a press release saying that the wife of the third son of the Grand Duke would be plain "Mme Tessy de Nassau" upon her marriage and the couple's thank you card read "Son Altesse Royale le Prince Louis de Luxembourg et Madame Tessy de Nassau..."
