The Order of Garter tends to only be given to royals born into the Royal Family, and the spouse of the Monarch/Heir. British Royals are considered Supernumerary members, and don't count towards the 24 members. 

Female British Royals are numbered separately. 

British Royals are usually appointed on St. George's Day (usually April 23rd), but are not officially invested until the Order of Garter Service.

Foreign Royals

Only Foreign Monarchs are made Stranger Knights and Ladies Companion of the Order of Garter.  (Mostly it is just given to European Monarchs.)

Like with British Royals, Female Foreign Royals are numbered separately. 

Monarchs are usually appointed to the order during a State Visit, but not officially invested until they attend an Order of Garter Service.

Q&A - Wedding of Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg to Nicolas Bagory (2023)

You can find details of their wedding here. This is just to answer some Frequent Questions. 

Q1: Why are are they having two Wedding Ceremonies?

In Luxembourg (and a number of other countries), the government doesn’t recognize religious wedding ceremonies.  

So, people are required to get married in a Civil ceremony, where their marriage licences will be signed. For those opting for both a Civil & Religious ceremony, the civil one is usually smaller with just immediate family. 

Q2: Will Nicolas get a title? 

No. Wifes usually automatically take on their husband's title. Husband's don't take on their wives. For Nicolas to have a title, the Grand Duke would have to grant him one, and Grand Duke Henri has not.

Q3: Will Princess Alexandra's title change?

Princess Alexandra will continue to be an HRH Princess. She will add her married name to the end of her title and will become "HRH Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg, Princess of Nassau and Princess of Bourbon-Parma, Mrs. Nicolas Bagory."

But the Palace and everyone will likely still call her "Princess Alexandra."

Q4a: Will Alexandra & Nicolas's Children be in the Line of Succession?

Yes. In 2011 the Luxembourg Succession Rules were revised to allow women in the line of succession. This added Alexandra to the line of succession, and allowed her future children to be included. 

Q4a: Will Alexandra & Nicolas's Children have titles?

As their children are down the female line they will not have any title. Children usually get their title from their father. 

Wedding of Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg and Nicolas Bagory (2023)

Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg and Mr Nicolas Bagory will get married in a Civil Ceremony on Saturday, April 22nd at the Town Hall in Luxembourg-City, Luxembourg. There will then be a Religious Ceremony at Saint Trophyme church in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France on April 29th.

The Luxembourg government does not recognize religious weddings, so a civil ceremony must be performed. 

Q&A

April 22nd - Civil Ceremony in Luxembourg

The Civil Ceremony is performed to meet Luxembourg's legal requirements for marriage. It is usually a smaller event, with just family and close friends attending. The bride and groom will wear more businessy outfits. 

The public is invited to welcome the couple and Royal Family at Guillaume Square, in front of the Town Hall.

April 29th - Religious Wedding in France

The couple's religious wedding will take place at Saint Trophyme church in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France.  This ceremony is the "normal wedding" ceremony. It will be larger with extended, family friends. The Bride & Groom will wear more traditional wedding outfits. 

I would expect this to be a more private event, compared to the Civil Ceremony. But, I do expect we will get some photos.
