Luxembourg’s Princess Alexandra leaves her 20s behind today and celebrates her 30th birthday.
The Princess is the only daughter and fourth child of reigning Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg. She was born on 16 February 1991 at the Grand Duchess Charlotte Maternity Hospital in Luxembourg. She has four brothers: Prince Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg (b. 1981), Prince Félix (b. 1984), Prince Louis (b. 1986), and Prince Sébastien (b. 1992).
When she was born, she was excluded from the line of succession to the Luxembourg throne. However, in 2011, that changed when Luxembourg adopted absolute primogeniture. Her Royal Highness is fifth in line to the throne after her brother, Prince Louis gave up his succession rights, as well as those of his children, upon his marriage to Princess Tessy.Embed from Getty Images
