Prince Louis of Luxembourg and
Scarlett-Lauren Sirgue have called off their engagement, the couple confirmed
in a magazine interview.
The pair, who announced their engagement in April 2021, told French
publication, Point de Vue, that they have decided to
end their romantic relationship but will remain friends.
Prince Louis, 35, and Parisian lawyer Scarlett-Lauren, 30, had been due
to tie the knot this year, with the Grand Ducal court sharing some official images at the time of their
engagement.
The prince popped the question in the southwest of France during a road
trip between Lourdes and Biarritz – but Louis was forced to propose not once but twice!
“We went through a village with an absolutely incredible view over
the Pyrenees. There was a small church standing alone,” Prince Louis told
Point De Vue at the time.
He added: “I remember the sunset; it was very beautiful. We
went into the church and I got down on one knee. I told Scarlett: ‘Don’t be
scared!’ I asked her… But I actually had to ask twice! In the emotion
of the moment, she forgot to say ‘yes’. I had to ask her hand in marriage a
second time to get the – yes!”
Louis is the third son of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria
Teresa of Luxembourg.
He was previously married to Tessy Antony, now known as Tessy Antony de Nassau, with whom he
shares two sons, Prince Gabriel, 15, and Prince Noah, 14. The couple
finalized their divorce in 2019 and Tessy has since gone on to wed Swiss
businessman Frank Floessel in July 2021 and the couple welcomed their first
child together a month later.
Prince Louis renounced his succession rights and those of his children
upon his marriage to Tessy.
