Princess Tessy and Prince Louis of Luxembourg finalise divorce

A royal divorce...

The marriage of Princess Tessy and Prince Louis of Luxembourg officially came to an end on Thursday, as their divorce was finalised as they called quits on their marriage but not their kids.

The palace confirmed their split in an official statement, after which Tessy released a separate statement, explaining that their “two precious boys” would remain the couple’s priority.

The couple married in 2006 and share two children together – Prince Gabriel, 13, and Prince Noah, 11.

Prince Louis is the third son of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, and met Tessy – director at a non-governmental organisation she founded called Professors Without Borders – in 2004.

Tessy had filed for divorce before, citing Louis’ “unreasonable behavior” as grounds for their separation.

Tessy now lives in London with her two sons, while Louis stays in Paris.

In February 2019, Princess Tessy shared her support for one of the newest members of the British royal family, the Duchess of Sussex, saying she “doesn’t deserve” the negative comments and press she has received since marrying Prince Harry.

“No one deserves that. One should never assume. Either you know or be quiet, it’s not nice to talk badly about someone else just because one can, as he or she takes advantage of the anonymity of the web,” Tessy tweeted. “Stay kind!!! It’s the new cool! She does not deserve that.”
