Prince Amedeo of Belgium married Elisabetta
Maria Rosboch von Wolkenstein in an elegant Italian ceremony - as the
rest of his country watched in despair as Argentina kicked their team
out of the FIFA World Cup on Saturday July 05,2014
Prince Amedeo married Elisabetta, the only child of Italian aristocrats, at The Basilica of Our Lady in Trastevere, Rome.
The
28-year-old royal, who is sixth-in-line to the throne, is the eldest
grandchild of the abdicated King Albert II and Queen Paola of Belgium.
He is the nephew of King Philippe, who ascended the throne last year
following the abdication of King Albert II.
The
wedding was a family affair, with Prince Amedeo's grandparents - King
Albert II and Queen Paola - and aunt and uncle - King Philippe and Queen
Mathilde - all in attendance.
The couple, who live together in New York, had been dating for around seven years before they became engaged.
The news was officially announced
in February, shortly after the couple were blessed by the Pope at the
Vatican alongside hundreds of other engaged couples.
Former King Albert II, who abdicated last year, arrives with his wife
Queen Paola. Prince Amedeo is the son of their second child, Princess
Astrid
