Current succession law in Luxembourg stipulates that in order to hold succession rights, one must descend from Grand Duke Henri, because Princess Marie Gabrielle is Grand Duke Henri's aunt, she does not directly descend from him, therefore she and her decedents are not in line. However, it is likely they make low-key appearances at family events such as weddings. Her last known public apperance was for Grand Duke Henri's 90th birthday celebrations in 2011 {Photos}.
