Then why do they still have the name Nassau?

It's not really their last name, it's the house name. IIRC, it died out with Guillaume IV, since he had six daughters.

But then why is it still part of their name?

But then why is it still part of their name?

I believe it is still part of their name because they are recognize by that name and the fact that they are the Royal Family of Luxembourg.

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

I don't know if I would have kept the name. It seems pointless to me.

Their name are Capet (Bourbon-Parme) and Nassau I think

10. Belgium 1999: Grand Duke Jean and Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte, King Albert II and Queen Paola in Arlon (Belgium)

The picture n.7 is not Poland, it is Czech republic, Vaclav Havel was Czech president!!!! and Luxembourg have nothing in common with Poland, Luxembourg share a part of history with Czech Republic. And I guess that picture 8 can be also Czech republic, cause there are two flags and on both flags is blue, but Poland don't have blue on flag.
