Thanks for the wealth of pictures. I believe the woman identified as Countess Mountbatten of Burma may actually be the Duchess of Gloucester

ReplyDeleteThe one you have identidfied as pricness Annde Ligne are Countess Marie Gabriele of Waldburg zu Zeil and Trauchburg and her husband Count Bernard de Monseignat.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these wonderful photos. My husband and I were in Luxembourg ten days before the Grand Duke passed away. We visited the Cathedral and the Crypt and I commented that, hopefully not in the near future, we would see events in this building. I was hoping for Princess Alexandra’s wedding one day, but sadly it was the funeral of the Grand Duke. These candid photos bring back memories of that day, which was also rainy.
