The car in which Prince Guillaume and Princess Sibilla were gravely injured.

Prince Guillaume fell into a coma and Princess Sibilla broke her leg. The brake was bad enough to require screws in Princess Sibilla's leg.

what accident was this? The car looks horrible, they were lucky to survive.

 

[mybags]

Back in September 2000, Prince Guillaume and Princess Sibilla were driving in France (I think it was France) and they were gravely injured in a car crash. Prince Guillaume suffered from cranial traumatism and fell into a coma. Princess Sibilla suffered a broken leg but required screws in it for the leg to heal properly. The man who hit them had high blood alcohol levels. Grand Duke Jean's abdication ceremony had to be postponed for several days because of the concern for Prince Guillaume's health.

 

[Fireweaver]

Wow, they were extremely lucky to survive. Thanks for the info!

Can anyone explain why they married in France and not in the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral in Luxembourg City?

 

[kelly9480]

I was told that it was because that's where her family was living at the time.

Princess Sibilla of Luxembourg, wife of Prince Guillaume, is expecting her fourth child in July 2004!

Guillaume is Henri's youngest brother. In between these two brothers are twins. Their names are Jean and Margaretha (thats definetly not the right way to spell it.)

as i see all the brothers married to aristocrats and noblewomen. do you think josephine charlotte didn't like maria teresa as the future grand duchess, as she wasn't royal (however, i think she comes from a rich cuban family)?

I think that Josephine-Charlotte didn't like Maria-Teresa at first because it is her eldest son and you know how mothers can be. lol But not all their children married noblewomen or aristocrats. Helene Vastur Prince Jean's wife isn't noble which is one of the reasons he gave up succession. Josephine-Charlotte didn't like her and their first child was born before their marriage in 1987 (Marie-Gabrielle was born in 1986). But I think like any good mother J-C was just watching out for her eldest son and now if anything she at least respects M-T.
