The wedding to Natacha Rouminatzeff-Pachkevitch, granddaughter of a French war hero of Russian origin, served to end a week of mourning in the family, since only a few days ago Belœil Castle was the scene of the funeral of the groom’s grandmother , the Princess Yolande of Ligne, who passed away at the age of 100. What made the wedding doubly special for the bride and groom was the good news given by two guests: the Princess Pelagia of Bourbon-Parma and the Prince Amaury they have in fact revealed that they are expecting their first child after getting married last July.c
