Hi everybody !
No, sorry, I'm still here, but busy with my work (I'm a violinist and I often travel. And moreover, my boyfriend is a conductor, so, we are always on the road.). But I did not forget you, friends of the Lux Royals, and I've just read that you were all wondering if I told Guillaume to come here ?
Well, I did not, because I saw him just 5 or 10 minutes at a reception for the Conservatoire and in April in Esch for Davis Cup.
Nice guy, but I found he has put on weight, but very nice to meet him. His brother... VERYYYYYYYYYYY handsome, God !!! But I did not have so many relations with him.
i did not know if this year the Lux were at Cabasson, in France, where they have a house.
So, here it was I can tell you.
Bis bald, dear Luxemburgerfreundlichen !
Karajan

Thanks, Karajan for your views about the Lux royals!
Guillaume has put on some weight.
To me, Louis and Sebastian resemble Henri.
I think it's Felix.

Hi !
I'm talking of Guillaume !!! i do not know Felix very well, I only have his mail adress, but we do not write. Guillaume, it's true, have put on weight, but I think he looks more mature, more "man" than before. But the beard was... awful !!! Louis resembles HEnri, true, but Sébastien (be careful, it's no German name) looks like his mother I think. Alexandra resembles his father too. In the family, all have one common point : big very big feet !!!
Bis bald, liebe Luxemburgerfreundlichen !

hahaha! what a nice detail the one you told about the feet! your posts always make me smile a lot and are so interesting... thanks for sharing all that info! :) that's what we can call first hand info.



(what does luxemburgerfreundlichen mean? something like friends of luxembourg maybe?)

Karajan,

Thank You so much from coming back here to visit us. Nice to see that you met HRH. I have to ask, is his vocal high pitch or low pitch?

Some time ago Eva Sannum gave a very short interview on norwegian tv( she seemed very uncomftarble), she did not say anything about Felipe, however she did comment on how it was to be followed around by the press, how it was to constantly be looking across her back "it is the closest thing you can come to beeing paranoid without beeing diagnosed" she also said that she became unnecessarily concerned with her outward appearance, but that her relationship with the press has been getting better, but that she is sceptical about the press because she knows how it works. (she did not critesice any particular paper or magazine)

What Pia Haraldsen said in refrence to this interview was that she could relate to the situation Eva was in (Disagree, Norwegian press hardly wrote about her except for when the relationshipe first was known and that she was present during Mauds christening, whilst they used to write alot about Eva) She also said that she did not dear to drink alchol when she was out and about and that because she was afraid of beeing photographed, and that she (this is the best) dosent even kiss boys that she doesent love:P I cannot link the interview because it has been moved to Dagbladets payed archive

When the relationship first was known I also thought she looked like a nice girl, going to school, press shy and descrete( that was also the way she was portrayed in the press), but after they broke up she has been grasping for all the attention she can get, the Pink inapropriate dress for Ingrids christening, she was offered to be part of the norwegian celebrety vertion of "Survivor", but she declined after talking with her family. She now writes this shallow column in VG, she is supposed to write once a week I think but I hope VG changes their mind, IMO the column is shallow and boring. There are people that manage to write about shallow things in a funny way, Pia does not have that gift. The colum she has written is as I said not scandelous in any way, just a waste of paper

Karajan,
I usually see Sébastien's name spelled wrong. Thanks for setting me straight.

Larzen,
Thanks for the updates. I totally agree with you. I don't think Pia Haraldsen was how the press portrayed her.

Karajan I agree with you about Guillaume gaining weight. It makes him look much older. But what do you expect? I mean most people gain weight at university.

Also, I'm finding the whole big feet thing hilarious because I just got back from work about an hour ago. Today I had to help sell dance shoes- the sizes on them make even my feet look big!

But Guillauem is younger than Wills!

Talking

Hi everybody !
Wow, lots of question...
1. I must have photos of Guillaume playing the violin, but must find them. We were in the same classe with Claude Krier at the Conservatoire, and he still support us for recordings, or concerts.
2. big feets... Well, just look at Henri ! I got a photo of the whole family I could scan for you, and you just see one thing : their enormous feets. And yes, I know what people say about boys with big feets... But I can not tell for Guillaume, never tested !!!
3. I must have some press articles in French, that, if you want, I could scan.
4. Cabasson in near Toulon, in the south east of France. Just in front of Bregancon, where the President CHIRAC has his national house. The Nassaus have a house and some beaches there. And you can often meet them in the little town.
5. Luxemburgerfreundlichen... You probably know French that work in luxemburg do not really love Luxemburger... And so, Luxemburgerfreundlichen, in German, mean, the one who love Luxemburger, opposite to Luxemburgerfeindlich, the one who hate Luxemburger.
6. Luxemburgisch is a language, very difficult to write, but that you can easily understand if you speak french and german. hello = MOIEN, bye = ÄDDI, ... Could explain you if you're interested !
So, hope you're ALL all right,
Bis bald,
KARA

thanks or the info and the photo! it's a pity guillaume didn't go to your concert... well, maybe he played the violin with you... which is even better!

by the way, i also agree that guillaume has gained some weight, however, he is every day cutter. i prefer him to be like this, to extremly thin. what do you mean by gaining weight at university? i hope i don't!

äddi! :)

Thanks for the photo.

I found this about birthday's
Guillaume - November 11th, 1981
William - June 21st 1982. (Hope I'm right)
Guillaume is so dreamy!!!

I know several students who gain 10 to 15 pounds at university. I did by eating out a lot.
