William (Guillaume) von Nassau, Grand Duke of Luxemburg, was born in 1852. His father was Adolphe von Nassau, Grand Duke of Luxemburg (1817- ). His mother was
Adelaide von Anhalt-Dessau (1833- ). He married Maria Annade Bragança, Infants of Portugal in 1893. They had six children. Two became Grand Duchesses:
Marie Adelaïde (1894-1924) and Charlotte (1896-70). The other children were: Hilda (1897- ), Antoinette (1899- ), Elizabeth (1901- ), and Sophie (1902- ).
We have no information at this time on how the children were dressed. The laws of succession were changed by Family Statute of April 16, 1907, permitting the
eventual succession of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Nassau titles through the female line.
