Maria Teresa
Royalty ..Grand Duchess in the world ???????????????What?
Is Grand Duchess Maria Teresa the only Grand Duchess in the world???? 10 POINTS
Yes,Luxembourg is the only Grand Duchy left:
http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy confirms the point,and you may also check http://www.theroyalforums.com as well:
“The only grand duchy in existence today is Luxembourg. It has been a grand duchy since 1815 when the Netherlands became an independent kingdom and Luxembourg was handed over to the King of the Netherlands, William I. Luxembourg remained in personal union with the Netherlands crown until 1890 when William III, King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg, died without leaving a male heir, so that in the Netherlands he was succeeded by a female and, in the Luxembourgish Grand Duchy, by a distant male cousin, Duke Adolf of Nassau who became HRH Grand Duke Adolphe—an arrangement necessitated by Salic law being applicable to Luxembourg but not to the Netherlands. The present Grand Duke of Luxembourg is Henri.
However there are other houses of Europe that style themselves as Grand Dukes even if not wholly recognized by the rest of society.”
