Up until her 20th birthday, Princess Alexandra was excluded from the line of succession until 2011, when Grand Duke Henri adopted Absolute Primogeniture, meaning that all his descendants could be in line for the throne, regardless of gender.
She was nine when her father ascended the throne in 2000 after her grandfather abdicated in his favour.
According to her online biography, Alexandra speaks four languages fluently, including Luxembourgian, English, French and Spanish. She can also hold her own in German and Italian.
Throughout her studies – which she pursued in the US, France and Ireland, the Luxembourg royal expressed a keen interest for international relations and conflict.
She even interned for the United Nations in New York when Luxembourg was one of its non-permanent members. She dedicates her time to volunteering with refugees associations and loves sports, being a keen skier, dancer and tennis player.
