I thought they met at Haakon and Mette-Marit's wedding in 2001. He didn't start going to Durham until 2002, so he must have at least been acquainted with her by then, even if they weren't actually dating yet. Maybe she was part of the reason why he want there, who knows?

I don't know exactly when they started dating, but delineate is right- they met at Haakon and MM's wedding in Oslo in August 2001.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

I have a feeling they started dating later on.

I do too. Don't know why I get that impression, though, because I've never heard anything regarding exactly when they started dating.

Is Guillaume back in school by now, you think?

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Probably if he is still going. I've heard rumors that he quit, but I have a feeling that he didn't.

I don't think he did either. Wikipedia doesn't exactly strike me as being the most reliable source.

I highly doubt that his parents would have let him quit school. Maybe transfer but not drop it all together. He might also want a semester off. I guess we'll see here before too long.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

His parents would definately let him transfer, they let Felix do it. But he seems like a pretty educated, focused guy so, I don't think he would quit.

[Ditebaby]

I don't think he would quit either. At most he could possibly be transferring and thinking about maybe even doing more college. That way it'll be a little longer before he starts getting all the pressure to marry. I have a feeling he's enjoying bachelorhood just fine right now.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

I don't think he would transfer in his last year, though.

Isn't he studying Political Science?

Yes he is. And unlike myself, I'm sure he'll end up getting a job that actually has something to do with his major.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Hasn't he recently become part of the government in Luxembourg?

Yeah, I think he became a member of the State Council. I know we discussed it a bit in the last news thread.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Is that an important job or is it just like "well, he has to do something, he is going to be the Grand Duke!"

Well, to me it sounds like it would be important, but I haven't seen any sort of job description so I don't know what kind of duties he's supposed to do. I don't know if it's an honorary or symbolic thing, of if he's out actually doing something.

[ShksprNLov]

In the most recent issue of People Magazine (the cover is of Hurricane Katrina) there is a spread on hot young royals and Guillaume and Felix are in it! There is no new info and I'm sure the pics have been posted here before but I couldn't believe they were actually in it! I think our men are going mainstream. :(

OOOOOMMMMMGGGGGG! I'm excited, but I don't really want the world to know about my Guillaume.

I wouldn't worry too much...most people here in the USA have never heard of Luxembourg [sad but true].

And, if you'd like to see the article and pictures, Kristen was kind enough to post them on the Benelux Royals MB.
