In a stunning engagement photo shared by the Grand Ducal court, the princess wore a lilac square-neck top with a matching blazer as she cuddled up to her new fiancé, who wore a dark blue suit that offset his platinum blonde hair. The happily engaged couple smiled for the camera, with Alexandra showing off the sparkling ring on her left hand which appears to be made up of diamonds on a gold band.

“Born on November 11, 1988, Mr BAGORY grew up in Brittany. After studying political science and classics, he now works in the creation of social and cultural projects. The wedding will take place in the spring.
“The two families join in the happiness of the engaged couple by surrounding them with their affection.”
The Luxembourg royal has three brothers
Princess Alexandra is one of four children, with her brothers including Prince Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg, 40, Prince Louis, 36, and Prince Sébastien, 30. Prince Louis was the latest member of the family to announce his engagement, but he called it off earlier this year before walking down the aisle.
He popped the question to Parisian lawyer Scarlett-Lauren Sirgue in the south west of France during a road trip between Lourdes and Biarritz. They announced their plans to marry in April 2021, but they confirmed their split to French publication, Point de Vue, explaining that they planned to remain friends.

“In reflecting, together, on the commitment we wanted to make, we ended up admitting that our visions differ too much.”
