I am not sure how pre and post nuptial agreements work outside the country the couple were married in.Usually a pre-nuptial agreement protects what was owned by person A and by person B before the marriage. Then it comes to the marriage itself. Usually this is an union of A and B and what has been acquired or earned during said marriage equally belongs to A and B, no matter A maybe brings the bucks home and B maybe is the housewife.
It is easy for to divide what was owned before the marriage by Ms Antony and by Prince Louis. But now they are divorcing, what has been acquired during the state of marriage needs to be divided, plus who feeds the bill for the alimony for the children plus what are the legal arrangements for the ex-partners and their children?
Prince Louis was just a junior Prince. His eldest brother Prince Guillaume will have protected the assets of his House when he engaged into marriage with Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy, otherwise she could claim half of the grand-ducal assets in the eventuality of a divorce.
It would've made more sense and worked in Louis' favor if the divorce procedures were done in Luxembourg than London. 1. The divorce would've likely worked in Louis' favor 2. Less media attention.
Had that been done a more civil settlement would be primary custody of the children to Louis with open and free visitation rights to Tessy, a home, and a one time lump some of money and absolutely NO titles for Tessy. All of that should have been agreed to and signed off on prior to the couple getting married.
