The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg announced in November that their only daughter, Princess Alexandra, is engaged to Nicholas Bagoy.

In a statement they said, "Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess have the great joy of announcing the engagement of their daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra, to Mr Nicolas Bagory." The royals added, "The two families join in the happiness of the engaged couple by surrounding them with their affection."

Princess Alexandra, sixth in line to the Luxembourg throne, is an active working member of the royal family and a professional linguist.

Her fiancé, Nicolas Bagory, was born and raised in Brittany, France, and studied political science and classics at university. According to the Court, he now works in "the creation of social and cultural projects." Per his LinkedIn, he is based in Paris, and received a master's from the Sorbonne University in the French capital in Latin in 2014.

In the engagement portrait released by the Luxembourg royal family, Princess Alexandra wore a lilac top and blazer. She accessorized with a large blue heart pendant, and of course, her brand-new engagement ring—which looks to be a large diamond set on a gold band.

In another photo, posted by Princess Alexandra's mother, Grande-Duchesse Maria Teresa, the newly engaged couple looks more casual:

The Grand Ducal Court announced that the royal wedding will take place in spring 2023; specifically, a civil wedding will take place on April 22 and a religious wedding on April 29.

"The civil wedding will take place on April 22, 2023, at the Town Hall of the City of Luxembourg. The religious wedding will be celebrated on April 29, 2023, in the Saint Trophyme church in Bormes-les-Mimosas," the Grand Ducal Court of Luxembourg said in a statement. "The two families join in the happiness of the engaged couple by surrounding them with their affection."

In February, the Court shared more details of the civil wedding, including that there will be a reception at the Grand Ducal Palace following the ceremony. "The public is cordially invited to welcome the couple, as well as the Grand Ducal Family, at Place Guillaume, in front of the Town Hall," the Luxembourg royals said in a statement.

That's not the only exciting news for the Luxembourg royal family: Also, this spring, Princess Alexandra's brother, Prince Guillaume, is expecting his second child.
