The Netherlands' Princess Margarita de Bourbon de Parme will wed her fiancé in a civil ceremony only.
The 35-year-old princess - who divorced her first husband Edwin De Roy van Zuydewijn in 2006 following five years of marriage - has opted not to have a large church ceremony for her nuptials to Tjalling Ten Cate in May, according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.
Earlier this week, Margarita and Tjalling announced they were planning to wed in a "low-key" ceremony and were expecting their first child in August.
The couple met two years ago and live together in the Dutch capital city of Amsterdam.
Bank worker Tjalling, 32, was first introduced to the Dutch public earlier this month when he joined the princess at a party in the capital, thrown for her aunts Queen Beatrix and Princess Margriet.
When Margarita married businessman Edwin they enjoyed both a civil ceremony in Amsterdam and another service in a Catholic Church in France.
They also marked their marriage with a lavish party in the South of France, which was marred when a blazing row between the newlyweds was caught on camera by Dutch TV.
