The marriages of the daughters of Grand Duke Wilhelm

Grand Duchess Charlotte was the first marry.  She married Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma on November 6, 1919.

Even before the end of the first world war, there were reports that Princess Antonia, the fourth daughter, would marry the widowed Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria.  As Luxembourg was occupied by Germany during the first world war, it seemed improbable that the princess would ever marry the heir to the Bavarian throne.

The marriage finally took place on April 7, 1921 at Schloss Hohenberg.

The youngest of the six sisters, Princess Sophie, married five days after Antonia.  She wed Prince Ernst Heinrich of Saxony, second son of King Friedrich August III.

Princess Elisabeth married Prince Ludwig Philipp of Thurn und Taxis at Schloss Hohenberg on November 14, 1922.  Prince Ludwig Philipp was the 3rd son of the Albrecht, the 8th Prince of Thurn und Taxis and Archduchess Margarete of Austria.
