It's interesting that we've never seen a picture of the so called serious girlfriend - or any of the crown prince's girlfriend's either.
I have posted a picture of Prince Felix and his Girlfriend Claire (i forgot her last name!) in this thread http://www.theroyalforums.com/forum...-zu-bodman-24-7-2010-a-29124.html#post1156294
go to the third link i posted in that post, then scroll down for a while
IS he still dating her? by the way does Felix smoke?
He may be Claire's type if they are both athletic. That is a bond that pulls people together. They were both at the tennis match. But it's ridiculous, in my estimation, to go on dating a woman for a long time without marriage, if one is a royal and should uphold standards. Maybe there is serious opposition to his choice of girl friend. Afraid we do not know. Louis' marriage to a commoner seems to have been a plus, and Louis and Tessy work well with the family and have nice kids...only kids so far in that generation. I suppose Felix could be held to a dynastic marriage? But I doubt that, since his parents did not have a dynastic marriage--they had permission, but she was not "noble", in other words, not part of the great European royal family. His mother was a college graduate and a fine woman and that wasn't enough for the "dynast" Carlos who made Grand Duke Jean mad by complaining about it. Anyway, if this gal is not suitable he should move on or consider giving up his line of descent. It would make it easier for those next in line, like Alexandra, to think straight about what she is doing; also Sebastien eventually. It must be nerve wracking to be in the middle like Alexandra and not knowing how to frame her life's goals, other than getting and education and hoping for love and a good marriage.
I think she's totally not Claire's type. Or maybe I'm wrong about the idea I had about Felix. She's too "diva" for the Luxemburgian family...

Well nothing happened to Henri when he married a commoner so that is not an issue. Louis is still a prince and an HRH, but he did give up his place in the succession due to the pregnancy. Much the same happened with his uncle.
As I understand it the children of younger sons of the monarch will be known as Prince/Princess de Nassau not Luxembourg. Marriage to a commoner is not an impediment to a recognized approved marriage which was your initial question.
Given how young Louis & Tessy were and how they started out, it seems pretty reasonable to withhold a royal title until the GD felt it was appropriate.
If Henri had not married MT in 1981, or married without his parents approval, he still had 2 brothers and 2 sisters in the line of succession so the dynasty would have been able to continue on.
I was talking with my sister about Felix and Claire relationship...is she official his girlfriend? or just a very good friend..?if she is his girlfriend do you think they gonna to be marry in the near future?
