Thank you. :flowers:

It is interesting that Prince Jean's wife Diane's last name is listed as of Luxembourg, given that the grand-ducal court identifies her since 2012 as Countess Diane of Nassau. I believe there are three possibilities: 1) Princess Astrid and Ralph Worthington disagree with the Grand Duke's choice to award Diane a lesser title than her husband, 2) the Grand Duke has at last created Diane a Princess of Luxembourg, or 3) the guest list calls the guests by the names they use for themselves (and Diane has always used the title Princess of Luxembourg, without the blessing of the Grand Duke). I am inclined to believe in the third option.

ETA: Also interesting is that the guest list uses of Nassau and not Willms for Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau. The position under the both the house laws of the House of Nassau and the civil code of Luxembourg is that the legal surname of married princesses remains "of Nassau", but every other princess of the blood has used her husband's last name.

Do they have a second child?

Amadea? Very beautiful name.
 
It was already known last year, at the wedding of Archduke Alexander that they had a second child, a daughter, pictured with parents and big brother.
We just got to know the name

I think Biri was referring to your remark about a possible second child for Prince Wenceslas and his wife. I have no idea if they had a second child or not.

Amadea is a nice name, certainly quite unusual (like it's also the case for her brother and some of her cousins)
