The Guest List So Far ****

Sadly, we did not get very many pictures of all those guests attending the wedding. As apparently about 800 people were in the basilica, this guest list is far from complete and probably one of the most incomplete guest lists, you have ever seen. Nevertheless, a list of those who attended the wedding, pictured and recognised by me or others.

Thanks to everyone who helped putting together this list. All women are listed with their husbands titles even though some of them might still use their own, under-aged children are listed together with their parents.

Of course, Adelaide's family was also present. I saw her father Philippe and her mother Odile, as well as both her sisters and her two brothers. Judging from the official pictures, I assume that more Drapé-Frisch's were present.

Note: All those people mentioned above are persons I have seen photographic prove of that they were present for the wedding. I am sure that there were many more Habsburg's as well as Nassau's were in Nancy. Before the wedding it was also mentioned by newspapers that members of the Merode and Arenberg families as well as Baron and Baroness Bernard Guerrier de Dumast would be attending the wedding.

  1. Thanks for the hard work! Somewhere over the last couple of days I read that Adelaide's mother was Odile D-F, but can't source it, sorry....

  2. You're welcome! You are right about her mother's name, I had another look at the info that was published at the time of the engagement.

  3. First of all, thank you for the excellent report. As usual, this is the best source for information about the Luxembourg GD family
    Just a small correction: women who marry to men from Spanish-speaking countries keep their names. Archduchess Alexandra of Austria (who married a Chilean) doesn't become Alexandra Riesle, and the same applies for Eleonore de Potesta (who married a Spaniard).
