Everything about King-grand Duke totally explained
The designation of
King-Grand Duke was held by the three monarchs of the
House of Orange-Nassau that ruled
Luxembourg and the
Netherlands in
personal union, between
1815 and
1890. These monarchs thus held the titles of
King of the Netherlands and
Grand Duke of Luxembourg concurrently, and, although not strictly a title in its own right, that of 'King-Grand Duke' was used in legislation and official documents in Luxembourg throughout the period.

The titles separated in
1890. Under the
Nassau Family Pact of
1783, all 'German' lands, including the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, were to be inherited by
Salic law, whereas all non-German lands were unaffected. Thus, when
Wilhelmina inherited the Dutch crown on the death of her father, William III, she was precluded from inheriting the crown of Luxembourg. Hence, it was inherited by
Adolphe, formerly
Duke of Nassau, parting the titles and ending the period of the King-Grand Dukes.
