In Her Own Words
Tessy Antony met Prince Louis of Luxembourg while they were both serving in Luxembourg’s military, and they married in 2006. Even in the modern era, it was still a bit controversial that a royal was marrying a businesswoman and commoner. Controversy continued to follow them when they had their first child before getting officially married.
Tessy and Louis seemed to have a happy marriage, but they sadly announced their separation in 2017. After their divorce was finalized in 2019, Tessy has spoken up about how depressing the breakup was. She has said that her body “shut down,” and she couldn’t eat, speak, or barely walk. A big difference between centuries ago and today’s world is that now, women are able to speak up about their experiences and the public will listen.
