Don't know Guillaume seems to be a very private person. Hopefully it was a mistake because I think he could do much better.

I think he is just a normal person but with a title who could think at that moment it is the right person but later sees it differently.

I have moved all posts about the Grand Ducal family's summer holidays to the Current News & Pictures thread of the family. The exact same discussion was taking place in several threads, which was confusing and unnecessary.

Please visit that thread for any information or updates on what the family is up to rather than inquiring about it separately.

how is Pia related to the Norwegian Royal family. I've heard that Pia's surname is Haraldsen and that is also queen Sonja's maiden name. am i correct? if that's so then Pia is Queen Sonja's niece? or cousin?

I'm not totally sure, but I read somewhere that Pia is step-daughter to one of Sonja's nephews, he adopted her when he married Pia's mother. That's how she's related to the Norwegian Royal Family.:) (Feel free to correct me, lol!).

You are right kez_1982! I read it in old magazine Hello. She is really adopted. And she is a godmother of one prince in Norwegian royal family... but I can't remember who was it.

Thanx mims111!! I knew I'd read it somewhere, but didn't remember where, lol! I think she's godmother to Princess Märtha-Louise's oldest daughter, Maud Angelica, but I'm not 100% sure. (Feel free to correct me).

This is what I found about Pia:
Guillaume's only known relationship was with Norwegian Pia Haraldsen, adopted daughter of the nephew of Queen Sonja of Norway (born Haraldsen). They met at the 2001 wedding of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway to Mette Marit Hoiby.

A compliment of sorts, I guess ;D

Paris Hilton intellectual ! are u kidding :-)

That's Funny :p

So does that mean Pia is not royalty? At least where the blood is concern?

Yes she's not royalty, she's adopted, her royal conection is her step-father, who's Queen Sonja's nephew.

I know this is random...but does anyone know how tall Guillaume is?....these pics of him and his family are confusing me. I heard somewhere on another thread that GD Henri was 5'10...so would that make Guillaume 5'8''? or maybe 5'7''??? If some one could answer this, i would really appreciate it.

Guillaume's height, along with those of other members of the Grand Ducal family have been discussed at nauseum. Please review previous threads of Guillaume and the family for this discussion.

Um, no. Felix and Guillaume intellectual, Paris just a member of the same set. Yes, it sounds scary. But I quite honestly think there is nothing wrong with the girl's brain, she has just been spoiled otherwise; Felix and Guillaume were brought up, just like Camilla al-Fayed, with a whole different set of values. I hope :( Makes a world of difference.
