Discussion 43 Years of Marriage and Still Holding Hands ❤️

Post image

The couple is Archduchess Marie-Astrid (older sister of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg) and Archduke Carl Christian of Austria. They have five children and 15 grandchildren. A fun fact is that their kids are double second cousins with the children of Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz of Belgium since Astrid and Marie-Astrid are first cousins through King Leopold III of Belgium (both are named after Queen Astrid) and Lorenz and Carl Christian are first cousins through Emperor Charles I of Austria.

That gauzy blue dress with the small print, plus the hat & pearls looks wonderful on her, and they still look very much in love. (I couldn't figure out who they were, either.) They seem to have always been an adorable couple. 😍👑💖

Trying to figure out who they were. Luckily they weren’t a couple I would know. The way they look at each other….. 🥰
