I assume with him is Countess Georgiana Brandolini d’Adda (formerly of the Princes Faucigny-Lucinge)

Prince Pierre is very much his mother’s son. She like him, blue-eyed, loves parties, socializing and jet-setting. Did anyone see the Vanity fair article on his second marriage? The wedding was a big and glamorous affair

Yes, that's correct

Does anyone know how exactly Sophie of Isenburg (Georg Friedrich of Prussia wife) is related to the wife (Isabel-Juliana of Stolberg-Stolberg) of head of the house of Arenberg?

They are first cousins. Isabel-Juliana's mother Irene of Isenburg and Sophie's father Franz Alexander were siblings.

So Isabel-Juliana’s children are first cousins once removed of Sophie of Isenburg?

As far as I can remember the wedding was featured in American Vanity Fair magazine.

I have seen photos in a Dutch royalty magazine. They left the church in an oldtimer IIRC and it was mentioned that US relatives of the prince were present.

Yes Pierre’s wedding was very showy from the pics from Vanity fair. Members of the Habsburg, Spanish royals, American socialites, some Indian royals were present and some Middle eastern royals were invited.

Noblesse & Royautes has a photo of the wedding from Point de Vue:

And they listed the royal guests as well.

The whole thing seemed deliciously over the top.

If only his mother was alive then, she and Pierre would have jammed together because they are so much alike. Pierre is in an Arenberg in name but truly his mothers son as the main branch and junior branches are so different.

Patricia d'Arenberg and Jean-Paul Einthoven attended the dinner of the Friends of the National Library of France in Paris:
