The recent announcement from the UK has me wondering: It is fairly uncommon for the heir apparent to the heir apparent to a European monarch to wed. When was the last one from each monarchy?
The following are just off the top of my head, so please correct and add as appropriate.
UK: George Duke of York and May of Teck
Sweden: Prince Gustaf Adolf and Sybilla of Coburg
Norway: None since 1905?
Denmark: Prince Christian (IX) and Alexandrine of Mecklenburg
Spain: None at least since at least early 19th century
Belgium: Ever?
Netherlands: Willem (III) and Sophia of Wurttemberg
Luxembourg: Henri & Maria Teresa would have made it if Charlotte had not abdicated, but she did.
Monaco: None since liberation from Napoleon?
Liechtenstein: ??
