There's a chance, and I imagine it's more in regards of royal timing and over shadowing. Neither wants to over shadow the other.

has there been any recent word in the luxembourg media on when the wedding will take place?
i heard they are waiting until claire finishes her thesis to set up a wedding date...

As far as I know there is no date mentioned. But I personally think there won´t be a long time between announcing the date and the wedding itself.
Even Guillaume´s wedding was organized in 6 months and Felix´s wedding will be much smaller and not attended by so many royal guests.

I agree, I think once we get the announcement of the date the wedding will follow pretty soon after, maybe 3 months or so at the most. Most engagements are long because of the need to save money to pay for the wedding. I think we can safely say Claire and Felix won't need to be saving money to pay for theirs!

I wonder what tiara Claire will wear. Here are all the tiaras Maria Teresa has worn:

The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: Flashback Friday: Grand Duchess Maria Teresa's Tiaras

I predict she will wear the large Diamond Floral tiara. Or, the Congo tiara.

The civil wedding will be held on September 17, and the religious wedding will be held on September 21.

Of European royalty who will be present at the wedding? Suggestions?

[Moonmaiden23]

My guess is that only Royals who are also close friends and family of the Lux GDF, like the Belgians and defunct Austrian and Germans.

Since the wedding will take place in the South of France I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one of the Grimaldis, and a French Bourbon as well.

I think some of the Liechtenstein will come as well

One of the priests at the church where they'll get married suggested in an interview in April that three or four heads of states will be present, one of them King Albert II of the Belgians. Obviously, he isn't a head of state anymore but it's very possible that he will still come and also the the new King Philippe will be in attendance. Grand Duke Henri is a head of state himself. Number three is likely Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein as both families are very close; Prince Felix was a train bearer at the wedding of Hereditary Prince Alois for example. I also expect many more members of the Liechtenstein family to be present not least because the Grand Duke's sister is married to the Prince's brother. My guess is that the possible fourth could be Prince Albert of Monaco as he seems to be on very good terms with the Grand Ducal family. As Moonmaiden suggested, lots of members of the Habsburg family as well as the various German royal and noble families as well as the nobility of Belgium and more members of the Royal Family apart from the aforementioned kings. I would also expect Prince El Hassan of Jordan, his wife and some of their children to be in attendance as they regularly spend holidays with the Grand Ducal family.

[Moonmaiden23]

I agree with Sydney. I would not be surprised if Prince Albert attends the wedding, the Lux GDF and the Grimaldis seem close going back to the days of Grace and Rainier. I remember seeing Guillaume attending a soccer match with Albert and Andrea and Pierre Casiraghi at Stade Louis II during the festivities surrounding Albert's enthronement.

Henri and Maria Teresa were seated at the head table during Albert's wedding dinner.

And had the most prominent placement of all royal (and non-royal) guests on the official wedding picture, right between the bride's mother and one of the groom's sisters.
