The Duc de Mouchy was a man of great character and many stories. I will never forget him; he will be forever in my heart and memories.
Not to be finicky but I also want to make some corrections because the information on this site is not accurate. Prince Robert Luxembourg is Joan's son by her second marriage not her first and she also had a daughter by her second marriage, Princess Charlotte. In addition, Joan's first child, Joanie, was from her first marriage to James Brady Moseley, which was annulled in 1963. Her name is not Joan. Philippe was a family man with many grandchildren and step grandchildren who all love him and will never forget him.
I will never forget you Philippe!!! Love You always!!!
