Thank you, Ducci.
Does anybody know where the marriage will be held? In Germany or in France?

I think it is such a shame that the marriage between her and Prince Jean never happened, all because she wouldn't convert to Cathlocism, now both have married non royals.
Not royals,but nobles
Marc 23: Is Philomena de Tornos part of the Spanish nobility? I don't believe so... except very distantly, perhaps.
Fearghas: Is it documented that the reason why Tatjana and Jean didn't marry is because she refused to convert to Catholicism? If so, I would appreciate knowing the source. There have been rumors, of course, but people can say all kinds of things without foundation. And, in a world in which Catholic Archduke Georg of Habsburg could marry Lutheran Duchess Eilika of Oldenburg without any problem (and without her renouncing her Protestant faith), it's difficult to understand why the difference in their denomination -- which is not a difference in religion, since they are both Christian -- would prevent Prince Jean from marrying Duchess Tatjana.
Oh and having a noble mother doesn't make you a noble, unless the title an be inherited through the female line, as some of the Spanish and Scottish titles can be.
No you didn't. I only mentioned it because there are some people who think that by havng a noble mother makes you a noble.I don't believe I ever said that it did .
No, but her mother is an Austrian noble, and through her father she descends from various Spanish nobles. Her anscestors are listed here:
Ancestors of Philomena de Tornos y Steinhart
It seems that the Prussian relatives who did not attend the wedding of Georg-Friedrich are all here (and vice versa). Her father & stephmother didn't attend the wedding either? Neither do I see pictures of her sister Bibiane or brother Paul Vladimir & his wife Pilar. Of course the photographer may have 'missed' them.
I believe Duchess Rixa is/was a fashion designer, she used to be in Point de Vue magazine from time to time, usually pictured while attending a social event in Paris.
I imagine the reason for the divide lies mostly in the legal battle that resulted over Prince Louis Ferdinand's will, but I wonder if the remarriage of the bride's father Friedrich August to his former sister-in-law Donata played a part as well.
