Interesting that two years later, in 1955, both became the godfather and the godmother of current Grand Duke Henri.
Another picture of the same wedding: the second couple, behind Fürst Franz Josef II of Liechtenstein & Princess Elisabeth of Luxembourg
A mistake for the last couple in the picture: it is not Princess Louise of Bourbon-Parma, but Princess Louis of Bourbon-Parma, née Princess Maria of Savoye, Princess of Italy, the aunt of the groom. Here with Count Knud Holstein-Ledreborg.
The Grand Ducal Court announced a short time ago that HRH Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Luxembourg, Lehnsgrevinde af Holstein-Ledreborg died earlier today
A pity that we didn't get to see any pictures from the funeral, which was attended by the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. His aunt was laid to rest at the Holstein-Ledreborg family's private burial ground near their castle.
Princess Marie Gabrielle with Prince Albert of Belgium at (I think) the wedding of their siblings Jean and Joséphine Charlotte, 1953:
Princess Marie Gabrielle and Count Knud Holstein-Ledreborg on the eve of their wedding, 1951:
