Prince Charles of Luxembourg, Prince of Bourbon-Parma and Nassau (Charles FrĂ©dĂ©ric Louis Guillaume Marie; 7 August 1927 â 26 July 1977), was a younger son of Grand Duchess Charlotte and Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma. [1]
Education
He grew up at his mother's court in Luxembourg, until the German invasion on 10 May 1940 during World War II. The Grand Ducal Family of Luxembourg left the country to find refuge in Portugal, after receiving transit visas from the Portuguese consul Aristides de Sousa Mendes, in June 1940. They arrived at Vilar Formoso on 23 June 1940. After travelling through Coimbra and Lisbon, the family first stayed in Cascais, in Casa de Santa Maria, owned by Manuel EspĂrito Santo, who was then the honorary consul for Luxembourg in Portugal. By July they had moved to Monte Estoril, staying at the Chalet Posser de Andrade. On 10 July 1940, Prince Charles, together with his father Prince FĂ©lix, his siblings, Heir Prince Jean, Princess Elisabeth, Princess Marie Adelaide, princess Marie Gabriele and Princess Alix, the nanny Justine Reinard and the chauffeur EugĂšne Niclou, along with his wife JosĂ©phine, boarded the S.S. Trenton headed for New York City. [2] [3]
The family eventually left the United States and moved to Canada, in exile in Montreal, [4] where Prince Charles completed secondary school in Canada in the CollÚge Jean-de-Brébeuf in Montreal and the CollÚge Saint-Charles-Garnier in Quebec City. [5] After World War II he undertook studies in Louvain, then at the Royal Military Academy at Aldershot. [1]
Career
After university, he returned to Luxembourg, where he worked to address national economic and social issues. [1]
He inherited from his father Villa Pianore, an estate held by the Bourbon-Parma family in Italy [1] (a large property located between Pietrasanta and Viareggio).
Marriage and family
He married at St. Edward's, in Sutton Park, Guildford, Surrey, on 1 March 1967 Joan Douglas Dillon, daughter of U.S. Treasury Secretary C. Douglas Dillon and wife Phyllis Chess Ellsworth. [1] As an unprecedented marriage between a prince of Luxembourg's reigning family and a commoner, Charles's brother, Grand Duke Jean, issued a decree to authorize the union as dynastic on 16 February 1967. [6] [1]
