Former princess Tessy of Luxembourg has shared a sweet sonogram of her baby – months after she announced she is expecting her first child with her hunky Swiss businessman fiancé.
Taking to Instagram today, the ex royal, 34, shared a snapshot, and revealed her adorable nickname for the baby is ‘little bean’, writing: ‘”Our life together has just begun. You’re part of me my little one”.
Tessy has spent much of the year in lockdown with her two sons Prince Gabriel of Nassau, 14, and Prince Noah of Nassau, 12, whom she shares with ex-husband Prince Louis of Luxembourg, 34, who she divorced in 2019.
She is believed to have known financier and CEO Frank Floessel, for several years, and announced her engagement to him on New Year’s Eve.

The former royal has not revealed how far along she is or when her due date is, but she announced her pregnancy in February.
Alongside the image of the sonogram, Tessy wrote: ‘Meet little Bean. Your big brothers and sister are super excited to be meeting you in the summer for real in person and not just your strong karate kicks.’
She continued: ‘Thank you all for your wishes, cards, letters, prayers, and numerous gifts already received for little bean.
‘We are looking forward to be receiving more of them over the next weeks and months. We are planning on replying in July to all of them.’

She added: ‘We feel very blessed and are humbled that you chose to share our joy with us in such a meaningful way. Such an act of compassion, kindness and love.’
Tessy announced her pregnancy several months ago by sharing a snap on Instagram cuddling up with Frank, while the businessman’s hands gently rested on the mother-of-two’s growing baby bump.
It comes after the couple announced their engagement to one another at the end of last year, with Tessy posting on Instagram : ‘Yes to 2021 and many more years together.’
Frank also shared his own joy over the big news, telling RTL Today: ‘After having mastered the extraordinary and difficult last year together, I took my chance to take the next step in our relationship and I am overjoyed that Tessy said yes.’

Entrepreneur Frank got his master’s degree in ETH Zurich and Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is currently CEO and president of CBA Finance.
The former royal appears to have known Frank for several years, having written about his work on her blog in September 2018.
He has also acted as a trustee for the organisation Professors Without Borders, which Tessy co-founded in 2016.
In 2019, Tessy told Hello magazine that it ‘took a long time’ after her divorce, when she was stripped of her royal titles, explaining: ‘After every relationship it takes a while to heal when the heart has been broken. It has been really, really wonderful for me to realise that I am able to trust and love again. It’s nice to see that life goes on.’

Tessy went on to reveal how she is ‘very happy’ that her ex-husband Prince Louis maintains a close bond with their sons, despite the fact they can’t see each other during quarantine.
She said her son’s ‘love and trust’ with their father had ‘become stronger’ because of the separation during the pandemic.
Tessy has previously told how her family ‘suffered greatly’ when she became a princess in 2006 after marrying Prince Louis, whom she met in 2004.
Speaking on Sky News special report The Meghan Effect, Tessy explained: ‘My little cousin needed to change schools twice. My twin brother was incredibly bullied at work – he still is today.

Frank was first pictured on a family hike with the proud mother and her two boys last year, with Tessy captioning the photos ‘Family is all that matters’ with two love heart emojis
‘My sister, my parents suffered, my oldest brother doesn’t talk to me anymore because of that, because it was too much for him to handle.
‘That was when I married in, and when I got divorced, oh my gosh the same.’
Born a commoner, Tessy joined the Luxembourg Army in 2002 at the age of 18, rising to the rank of corporal. Two years later, when she was one of a handful of female UN peacekeepers in Kosovo, she met Prince Louis, who was visiting the army.
His family only became aware of their love affair when Tessy fell pregnant and gave birth aged 19, and unmarried, in September 2005, providing Grand Duke Henri with his first grandson.

It infuriated the royal family, and Prince Louis renounced any claim to the title of Grand Duke due to the constitutional crisis they had created by having a child out of wedlock.
When Tessy married Prince Louis in September 2006, six months after giving birth, in a modest country church wedding, the Grand Duke stripped her of any claim to his title.
The couple’s fairytale marriage broke down in 2016, and they were granted a decree nisi in February last year.

Tessy, who in 2017 was named Woman of the Decade by the Women Economic Forum for her work in women’s empowerment, now lives in London with Gabriel and Noah, while Louis lives in Paris – though she appears to be in isolation somewhere more rural.
The philanthropist is the co-founder of social enterprise Professors Without Borders which aims to improve access to higher education across the globe.
She also works as a consultant, public speaker and is a UN Association patron.
