Archduchess Marie Astrid of Austria (née ''Princess Marie Astrid of Luxembourg''; born 17 February 1954 at Castle Betzdorf) is the elder daughter and eldest child of Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg and Princess Joséphine Charlotte of Belgium, and the wife of Archduke Carl Christian of Austria. Her godparents are King Leopold III of Belgium (her maternal grandfather) and Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg (her paternal grandmother). ==Biography== In her youth, as one of the few eligible royal princesses from European reigning houses, she was considered an ideal candidate by royal watchers for marriage to Charles, Prince of Wales. Media reports in the 1970s regularly speculated about the prospects of such a marriage, the ''Daily Express'' claiming in June 1977 that the couple's engagement was imminent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=the royals and the press )〕 (Unconfirmed media reports in the British press claimed that Pope Paul VI had prevented a marriage by refusing under ''Ne Temere'' to accept that the children of the couple could not be brought up Roman Catholic.) It has been since suggested that the marriage rumours were a result of efforts to detect a leaker in the Privy Council. In reality, a marriage between the British heir and the Roman Catholic princess was unlikely, as the terms of the Act of Settlement 1701 would have had to have been repealed or modified. The Archduchess studied in Luxembourg and also in Belgium. She received her diploma as a registered nurse in 1974, and finished her education in 1977, with a nursing certificate in tropical medicine from the Prince Leopold Institute. She has been the President of the Red Cross for Luxembourg Youth since 1970. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Archduchess Marie Astrid of Austria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
