Maria Teresa Mestre Batista
Maria Teresa Mestre Batista, born in Cuba and later a Swiss citizen, is the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, married to Grand Duke Henri for 45 years as of February 14, 2026. Their union, which began in 1981, was notable for breaking traditional royal conventions, as she was not of noble birth. Maria Teresa, a multilingual political science student, met Henri during his studies in Geneva and they became engaged in November 1980. Together, they have raised five children and celebrated many milestones, including their anniversary by inviting the public to share their well-wishes, embodying the enduring legacy of their love story.
