Does the country have a nobility or aristocracy? Can the GD give titles to other people like he did for Tessy and the children?

You most often do have something to add and you're right once again here TM! Your post had me remember the bad screenshot I have of the letter of the ennoblement of the demoted Bernadottes (quite curiously called Princes Bernadotte here) which, together with other acts of ennoblement that I found using the link you provided, talks about the "noblesse du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg" and "noble de notre Grand-Duché de Luxembourg" indicating that there is a Luxembourgian nobility.Thank you very much for all of the information.
I have nothing to add, but since Luxembourg today is an independent nation with a separate head of state, wouldn't any creations of nobility using the prerogative provided to the Grand Duke by the constitution (Art. 40. Le Grand-Duc a le droit de conférer des titres de noblesse, sans pouvoir jamais y attacher aucun privilège) qualify as Luxembourg and not Dutch nobility, regardless of the situation before 1848?
The grand-ducal decree incorporating Prince Félix into the nobility in 1919 uses the wording "the nobility of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg".
