copenhagen said:maybe this isn't the place to ask but i don't really understand why Louis gave up his rights of sucession and why Tessy was not given a princess title. Could someone please explain more clearly? I'm new by the way
Welcome to the Board copenhagen!
It was Louis's personal decision to give up his place in the line of the succession, he certainly didn't have to. I think (and that's only my opinion, though shared by many on this Board) Louis did'nt want to leave Gabriel 'out'. Since Gabriel was born out of wedlock, he is not in the line of the succession. But if Louis didn't give up his rights, any future children of the couple would be in the line (if they are born during their marriage), which would be unfair to Gabriel. By giving up his, and any of his children's rights to the throne, Louis made sure there will be no difference between the children.
Personally I think it was a very wise decision.
Though Louis retains his title of Prince of Luxembourg and the style of Royal Highness (title and style he had from birth), Tessy and Gabriel (and all future children) hold the surname de Nassau with no titles.
