Style, titles and names [edit]

  • Countess Luana of Orange-Nassau, Jonkvrouwe van Amsberg (since her birth on 26 March 2005)

Upon the marriage of Prince Friso to Mabel Wisse Smit, the Government did not offer the constitutionally-required Bill of Consent for their marriage to the Netherlands Parliament. As a result of this, the Prince ceased to be a member of the Royal House and lost his place in the line of succession for himself and his descendants. By Royal Decree of 19 March 2004, nr. 126 is determined that all children of the couple will bear the title of Count (Countess) of Orange-Nassau and the honorific Jonkheer (Jonkvrouwe) van Amsberg, and have the surname Van Oranje-Nassau van Amsberg. The titles are hereditary in male lineage.[2]

The Countess is a distant member in the Line of succession to the British Throne, being past 800th in line.

Countess Luana has one younger sister, Countess Zaria, born on 18 June 2006 in London.[1]
