Life and Education
Through her father, Grand Duke Henri, Princess Alexandra is related to every currently reigning European monarch.
Alexandra has four brothers – three older, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, Félix and Louis and one younger – Sébastien. She is currently third in line to the throne of Luxembourg, after her two eldest brothers; a change in the succession laws introduced absolute primogeniture beginning with the descendants of Grand Duke Henri, therefore Alexandra precedes her younger brother Sébastien. Her brother Prince Louis gave up his place in the line of succession; Princess Alexandra is the godmother to his son, Prince Gabriel of Nassau.
Princess Alexandra performed her primary school at Angelsberg and finished her secondary education at the Lycée Vauban in Luxembourg. She received her baccalauréat with honors in the literature stream.
