Prince Louis of Luxembourg and his former fiancée, French lawyer Scarlett-Lauren Sirgue, are calling off their engagement almost one year after announcing their betrothal.
The Grand Ducal Court released an official statement on behalf of the couple, who first announced their engagement in April 2021, that said, “We have decided not to continue our romantic relationship, while remaining deeply attached by friendship and tenderness.” They concluded, “In reflecting, together, on the commitment we wanted to make, we ended up admitting that our visions differ too much.” According to the palace, Louis’s parents, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, said they “welcome the maturity of this decision.”
The royal also spoke to the French publication Point de Vue about their decision not to walk down the aisle, explaining, “We are not going to get married. However, there was no shadow, no problem with our relationship except fundamental differences of opinion which led us to this decision.” Prince Louis was also previously married to Tessy Antony from 2006 to 2019, and they have two sons together, Prince Gabriel and Prince Noah. When he married Antony, Louis had to relinquish his position in order to the throne as she is a commoner.
Antony recently remarried Swiss businessman Frank Floessel in July and they welcomed a son named Theodor in August. When her ex-husband first announced his new engagement last year, Antony shared her support for the new relationship on her Instagram Stories, posting a photo of the happy couple and writing, “Finally its out too. Gabe, Noah, Frank and I are so happy for you both and wish you only the best and much happiness.”
