The Grand Ducal Court of Luxembourg has released new photos of Princess Alexandra as she marks her 31st birthday.
Both images were taken by Court photographer Sophie Margue.
The Princess will celebrate her birthday privately.
Princess Alexandra is the fourth child and only daughter of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg. She was born on 16 February 1991 in Grand Duchess Charlotte Maternity Hospital in Luxembourg.
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.
Princess Alexandra has worked in the journalism field in the Middle East and completed an internship with the United Nations Security Council in New York, where she gained international relations experience. Alexandra completed the internship when Luxembourg was a non-permanent member.
The Princess takes part in official engagements in Luxembourg when possible. In the past, she has participated in the National Day celebrations, the closing of the Feast of the Octave of Our Lady of Luxembourg, and travelled with her father on a State Visit to Japan in 2017.
Alexandra 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). She also has one niece, Princess Amalia (b. 2014) and four nephews, Prince Gabriel (b. 2006), Prince Noah (b. 2007), Prince Liam (b. 2016) and Prince Charles (b. 2020). She is the godmother to both Prince Gabriel and Princess Amalia.
