My answer to that is that the Grand Dukes of Luxembourg are not best examples of individuals who in obvious terms were not at all royal.
The Sovereign Princes of Monaco are much more suitable examples of such.
That the Luxembourg case is one 'at the fence' when interpreting the meaning of the royalty concept, has one obvious root in the fact that the Grand Duke, while not a king, holds the style HRH, whereas of course younger children of Grand Dukes Adolf and William IV did not, afaik.
