     @kaia Admittedly, LUXEMBOURG - DE LUXEMBOURG, NASSAU ET BOURBON-PARMA doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

     @vonxylofon
     it's interesting how Wikipedia has different opinions on this:
     - Henri has no 'last name' on EN, NL, FR, PT, PL, TR, ZH wikis
     - he's "of Luxembourg" in the Luxemburgisch, ES wikis
     - on the Luxemburgisch wiki the House of Nassau does not have an article
     - on DE wiki he's 'Henri ... von Nassau' and the RU wiki replicates that
     - on FR wiki it's 'de Nassau' in the info box
     - IT wiki gives all titles in the info box in 'altri titoli'

     @kaia It was a remarkably involved shitpost on my part. I was going with the fact that he uses De Luxembourg and his princely titles here: https://monarchie.lu/en/grand-ducal-family/hrh-grand-duke

     @vonxylofon yeah, I gotcha. I'm interested in the psychological perspective - e.g. that putting NASSAU on his uniform would not be that patriotic and that naturally in the Luxembourgish wiki he's "of Luxembourg", while in others he's not.

     @kaia In the same way that Queen Elizabeth II. of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha didn't really catch on.
