Presenting: The Cousins in Uniform

When we had a look at the maternal and paternal cousins of Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume attending his wedding, there were a few that we've missed. So, we are very happy that one of our dear readers sent pictures of them in - thanks heaps Jason!

And Archduke Alexander, fourth child and third son of Princess Marie-Astrid and Archduke Carl-Christian of Austria, together with Maike Mestre, she is a maternal cousin of the Hereditary Grand Duke and looked très chic for the occassion. In fact, I think she wore the prettiest outfit of all the cousins.

Don't ask me why they are wearing their Irish Guards uniforms - possibly, they have chosen the military as a career path? - and not their Luxembourgish uniforms as they've been commissioned into the Luxembourgish forces by their uncle per decree a while ago - would have been a nice touch - but, anyways, great to see them so dashing in any uniform...

  1. Maybe HM Queen Elizabeth told them to - ?

  2. Why would she? She would have no motive and even if she did Henri is their sovereign.
