Princess Gabrielle d’Arenberg: A Life of Legacy and Love (1920-2022)
As we bid farewell to Princess Gabrielle d’Arenberg, we honor her life and the enduring legacy of the d’Arenberg family. Born Gabrielle Marie de Lambertye-Gerbéviller on September 8, 1920, in Biarritz, she was the eldest daughter of Charles de Lambertye-Gerbéviller, marquis de Gerbéviller, and Lorena Sancho-Mata y Contreras. Gabrielle’s life was marked by her connections to the French nobility and her marriage to Prince Armand-Louis Hélie d’Arenberg in 1941. The couple had two children, a daughter and a son, who continue the family’s noble lineage.
Princess Gabrielle left behind a rich history of family ties and a legacy that will be remembered for generations to come. Her daughter, Princess Mirabelle, and son, Prince Charle, continue the family’s noble lineage. The funeral of Princess Gabrielle will take place on August 8 at the parish church in Gerbeviller, where she will be buried in the family vault. As we reflect on her life, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and honoring the contributions of those who have shaped our world. Princess Gabrielle was a true embodiment of this spirit, and her memory will live on through the countless lives she touched and the enduring legacy of the d’Arenberg family. May her life serve as an inspiration to us all.
