I don't think so.. kalau baca kat Wiki.. banyak giler sangkut paut dengan Russia, England, Spain, Yugoslavia... pusing2 tang tu aje..
From Wiki:
Though born in New York City, Oxenberg grew up in London. She is the eldest daughter of HRH Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia (b.1936) and her first husband Howard Oxenberg (1919–2010),[1] a Jewish dress manufacturer and close friend of the Kennedy family. Princess Elizabeth is the only daughter of Prince Paul of Yugoslavia (who served as regent for his cousin's eldest son King Peter II of Yugoslavia) and Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark.[2] Elizabeth is a first cousin of the current Duke of Kent and also a second cousin of Queen Sofía of Spain and Charles, Prince of Wales, making Catherine a third cousin of Felipe, Prince of Asturias and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. Catherine is also a great-great-great-granddaughter of Karađorđe, who started the first Serbian uprising against the Turks in 1804.
Catherine Oxenberg's maternal grandmother Princess Olga was the daughter of Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia and Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark, himself the son of another Romanov grand duchess, Queen Olga Konstantinovna of the Hellenes and her Danish-born husband King George of Greece, brother of Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom and Empress Maria Fyodorovna. Princess Olga was the sister of Princess Marina, who married the Duke of Kent (uncle of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom); and also a first cousin of the Duke of Edinburgh (husband of Queen Elizabeth II) through their respective fathers Prince Nicholas of Greece and Denmark and Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark who were brothers. |

NEW PHOTOS OF PRİNCE GUİLLAUME AND COUNTESS STEPHANİE
The Grand Ducal family has released two new photos of Crown Prince Guillaume and his fiancée Stéphanie ahead of the October wedding, as well as the official monogram created especially for the occasion.
The photos, showing the happy couple, were released late on Tuesday, the same day that Luxembourg's State Council sanctioned the new law granting the Belgian countess the Luxembourg nationality. |

İNTERVİEW WİTH COUNTESS STEPHANİE AND PRİNCE GUİLLAUME
Countess, do you believe in Prince Charming?
Stephanie: "Not only do I believe in it, I also think I found it. I remember the day I met Guillaume I told a friend – who by the way is going to be maid of honour at our wedding – I had found an exceptional man with whom I shared many things in common.
"I really did not think such a man could exist. So of course I believe in Prince Charming."
Describe how you first met?
Stephanie: "We met about eight years ago in Germany while on holiday with mutual friends. We lost touch for several years, then, by chance, we met again in Germany three years ago. That was when our love story began."
Will there be a bachelor party?
Guillaume: "There is a surprise for me, but I don’t know the details."
Stephanie: "I know the details, but I can't say anything!"
Are you going to go on a honeymoon?
Stephanie: "Yes, but unlike the previous question, Guillaume is the one who knows the details. For me it will be a surprise, but I'm very excited about where we're going."
Guillaume: (Laughing) "All I can say is that it will be after the wedding."
There has been a lot of talk about the cost of your wedding, is that something that concerns you?
Guillaume: "I understand that this issue arouses some debate. But we forget that this is a royal wedding that will attract important personalities from around the world. Ulitmately, this is all beneficial for Luxembourg's image."
The fact that Stephanie has been granted Luxembourg nationality so quickly has caused some controversy. Do you understand why people might have reservations?
Guillaume: "Certainly. Many foreigners have to wait a long time until they obtain citizenship. It is a complicated process, but it hasn't been easy for Stephanie either. In the past few months, she has had to take many intensive language and cultural courses. Only now can she speak quite fluently and with ease."
"We should also remember that from the day of marriage, Stephanie will take the title of Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, so it's very important to me that she is a national from the start."
Stephanie: "I understand that there is some debate about this issue. But it saddens me that there are people who feel I have received preferential treatment. I think my case is special and, as such, required special measures. For me, being granted Luxembourg nationality has been like a gift ,but it is related to the role I'll play in my marriage."
Are you going to hold dual nationality?
Stephanie: "No. First I would like to stress that I am excited and deeply honored to have obtained Luxembourg citizenship. It is a gift that I humbly accept. As the Hereditary Grand Duchess I am proud to share my husband's nationality. Belgium will always be the country of my childhood and where my roots are, but I don't think keeping Belgian citizenship is consistent with the job that awaits me from now on."
How do you envision your lives as a married couple after the wedding?
Stephanie: "I plan to lead a normal family life – shopping, cooking, etc. As for work, I will focus one hundred percent on being a good representative for the Luxembourg State."
Guillaume: "Right now I am immersed in my work with economic missions abroad, which is a job I love. From now on, Stephanie will accompany me on those trips. The first state visit is expected to be in late November when we visit China. Stephanie also wants to devote time to social issues."
What social issues concern you?
Stephanie: "One thing I would like to address is the issue of loneliness. Many people, not only the elderly, suffer."
Are you planning to start a family in the near future?
Stephanie: "Good question! It depends on what you consider to be the near future. If in two or three years, then yes. For the moment, however, is not a priority, although we're not ruling it out.
"I come from a large family of eight. If you think four or five children is a lot, just imagine imagine eight! It was my parents' choice, and being the youngest daughter, I couldn't be more happy with their decision. While eight children are perhaps too many, I'd like to maintain the spirit of a large family."
Guillaume: "It's a blessing to have so many siblings. We're still unsure how many children we want. Only time will tell."
It's interesting that you're wearing two rings...
Stephanie: "I wear Guillaume's engagement ring and also my late mother's ring, which I'll still have on the day of the wedding. There are going to be various homages to my mother during the ceremony. We begin with a minute's silence and the image of Our Lady of Luxembourg will be covered in a veil.
Why was October 20 chosen as the date for the wedding?
Guillaume: "October 20 is a special date. We wanted an autumn wedding. A ceremony during that season is something very special."
Stephanie: "It is a time of year that I love. In the autumn I'm always in a good mood."
Guillaume: "And our anniversary is also in autumn."
Have you decided where you will live after the wedding?
Guillaume: "We want to maintain our independence, here in Luxembourg. But at the moment we don’t want to reveal too much about that topic."
How would you describe your relationship with the Grand Duchess?
Stephanie: "Very good. I consider myself very lucky. Since my mother died, the Grand Duchess has been very present in my life, and she has been a sort of second mother here in Luxembourg." |
