Although the Grand Duke and the Hereditary Grand Duke are Lutheran, the majority of Luxembourg's citizens profess the Roman Catholic faith. Luxembourgers have assumed that the Hereditary Grand Duke would marry a Roman Catholic princess and raise their children as Catholics.
But residents might also be pleased with their heir marrying a British princess whose father is the heir apparent.
Princess Victoria is with her family in Cap Martin, France, Her older brother, Prince George, is said to be suffering from insomnia while her younger sister, Princess Maud is recovering from synovitis, which she had suffered from before she left England.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and three of their children are in France as they continue to mourn the loss of the Prince and Princess' elder son, Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, who died in January at the age of 28.
