He was diagnosed at the age of 10. He said of hislearning difficulty, "I did not understand what was happening. I was constantly forced to try to achieve the same levels as others. That takes a lot of time and leaves you frustrated because you can't do it." He also said that he used sports, especially rugby, as an outlet for his frustration.[6][7]
Prince Louis is fluent in Luxembourgish, French, English and German and has a very good knowledge of Spanish.[2]

Although he retained his title of "Prince of Luxembourg" and the style of "Royal Highness", his wife and son were originally only given the surnamede Nassau with no titles.[11] The couple's second son, Noah Etienne Guillaume Gabriel Matthias Xavier de Nassau, was born on 21 September 2007 at theGrand Duchess Charlotte Maternity Hospital.[citation needed] The baby was baptised at the same church in Gilsdorf where his parents married and his elder brother was baptised.
