Charles' children aren't princes of Luxembourg as that style is limited to children of the GD and HGD, they are indeed princes of Nassau.

You're right about that. I'm sorry for the mistake. I'll fix the post.

No, your original post was correct. The style "of Luxembourg" was not limited to children of the grand duke and hereditary grand duke until the grand-ducal decree of September 21, 1995. The children of Prince Charles and Princess Joan, who were born several decades before, retained their style of Princess and Prince of Luxembourg.

See for example the website of their family winery where Prince Robert is styled "Prince Robert of Luxembourg".

They are Prince/Princess of Luxembourg as that Title was only limited by GD Jean in 1995 for the children of the GD and HGD.
