I am so sorry to hear what has happened. May he rest in peace and may his family find strength in the middle of such hard times. Has it been said when the memorial service will take place?
 
An interview with D. Pedro Luiz´s father

An interview with D. Antonio. He said he and all his children played golf Sunday morning and all the family went together from Petrópolis to Rio to take D. Pedro Luiz to the airport, on the way they talked about Pedro Luiz´s job and also, coincindentaly, about faith and religion. D. Pedro Luiz said he was very happy.
D. Antonio says he learnt about the accident by the television, he got worried twice because his niece, the young princess of Ligne, had taken the airplane of 16:40 and Pedro Luiz the one that left at 19:00. D. Antonio called his wife and told her to take a sit and told her about the accident and she was in despair.
There´s a nice, beautifulm recent picture of the family:

One of the posts I've read said that Prince Pedro Luiz lived in Luxembourg with a "duke." Does anyone know who this is?

the Wall Street Journal said he was a guest of the "duke" of Luxembourg, meaning the Grand-Duke (and he was not a guest!)
 
Poor young man, indeed. I feel very much for him and for everyone else related to this misterious accident.

But by other side, I am very happy for his double-cousin, Princess Alix de Ligne. She had planned to travel with him, but took an earlier flight instead, as the Wikipedia article says.
 
This is just a sad and tragic story so young and yet the prince is not with us nor his family or friends anymore.That is so heartbreaking and shocking I send my sympathy to members of the his family and his friends too.
 
My condolences to the family, those are really sad news
 
I just saw prince Antonio, princess Christine and their children on the television news. They attended a memorial mass for the victims of the crash and were in prayer.

Today there was also a mass at Belouil, Belgium. the chateau of the de Ligne family. It was attended by prince Amedeo and princess Maria-Laura of Belgium (among others).
 
It has just been announced that the first bodies have been found, hopefully they manage to find all of them including the Prince's as quickly as possible. May they all rest in peace.

And my condolences to the Prince's family this is tragic news for everyone who knew anyone on board the plane.

BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Bodies 'found' from missing plane

Yes it's the second main story on the news after The D-Day memorial service in Normandy. My heart goes out the the royal family. Isn't their suppose to be a marraige soon in the Brazilian royal family?

Thank you for this information. I must be a terrible time for the entire family.
 
Maybe it would be better to pospone those weddings to next year!
This year is such a black year. Not really a year to celebrate weddings.
 
The wedding of Prince Gabriel and Luciana Guaspar will probably be toned down but I doubt it will be cancelled. The dead of Prince Pedro Luiz is a terrible tragedy for the entire family, however life goes on.


I hope the Prince's body will be found, it would be at least some consolation for his poor family.

What television network passed the news of the Mass?

I saw it on (the dutch version of) RTL, a commercial channel from Luxembourg, the prince and princess were seated in the first row.

The information of the service at Belouil however comes from the website of the Belgian royal family.
 
An article and a picture of the mass. Prince Antonio, Princess Christine and their children are seated on the front row:

Other members of the imperial family are seated behing them.

Article, prince Antonio says the family found strength in their faith, it pictures the family in prayer: http://www.clicrbs.com.br/especial/...o-447-assistem-a-missa-no-Rio-de-Janeiro.html

Note that the pictures in the articles are somewhat intruisive.

This pictures inside de church should not be taken..
I prefer the unknow parents brothers and sister who may pray without photographs and flashes.
At the de Ligne castle a private office took place on saturday , I hope without press and televison and the 2 eldest children of Prince Lorenz and Astrid were there.
Why should a 4 months later wedding be cancelled. Lucky the next month wedding is private, so it will remains private.
It should be different of course if it was a brother or sister of the late Prince Pedro Luiz.
 
this plane accident was such a loss. when i first read about it i had hopes that it had somehow lost communication but was still in one piece. it's incredible that it could happen and could have happened to anyone. my prayers are with the families.

it's specially peculiar that royalty is also involved in these tragedies. i recall that a thai prince also lost his life during the tsunamis.

here's information of prince pedro luiz from the official webpage of the brazilian monarchy:
