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.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or education:
“I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure—the web—of society needed reform, not demolition. To have cut the institutional and community strands without replacing them with new ones proved to be a form of abuse to one generation and to the next. For so many Americans, the tragedy was not in dreaming that life could be better; the tragedy was that the dreaming ended.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“The Cairo conference ... is about a complicated web of education and employment, consumption and poverty, development and health care. It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning. While Cairo crackles with conflict, in the homes of the world the orthodoxies have been duly heard, and roundly ignored.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
