At least I am thankful that they left most recognizable pieces to us (for now) and jewels of Queen Astrid....I think that was the most sensitive issue in the initial sale attempt. --Previous Message-- : Yes, I meant illegitimate, my excuses. I have : looked up about inheritances in Luxembourg, : and as in so many other legal regulations it : is very alike with the Netherlands (with : which Luxembourg had an union). The : surviving spouse and each child have an : obligatory part in the inheritance. The : obligatory part of the surviving spouse is : usually much bigger than the parts of the : children. Alike in the Netherlands also in : Luxembourg the surviving spouse enjoys the : usufruct of the estate and other possessions : and usually the other beneficiaries can only : make money of it when the surviving spouse : has passed away as well. : : When I think about: : - Marie-Astrid & Carl Christian of : Austria : - Jean & Diane de Guerre : - Margaretha & Nikolaus von und zu : Liechtenstein : - Guillaume & Sibilla Weiller : then none of them seem 'poor' to me. The : 'unknown' Diane de Guerre is a daughter of : the Countess Wolff-Metternich, living on a : fantastic castle near Roermond (Limbourg, : the Netherlands). Sibilla Weiller is from a : very wealthy family. Nikolaus von and zu : Liechtenstein was an ambassador in Belgium, : now an ambassador at the Holy See, no idea : about his private wealth. Remains Carl : Christian of Austria, no idea about his : private wealth. None of them seem in dire : need of money, but you never know. It : remains very sad that the jewels needed to : be sold. I was under the impression that : Grand Duke Jean and/or Grand Duke Henri are : rich but apparently they thought it was not : worth to outpay the siblings. : : : : :
