Any Pics Of Maria Teresa When She Was Young?

i was reading in luxembourg to get citizenship you have to live there for 10 years... did she have citizenship before she married henri?

[carlota]

i think so... it would be the same that happened with mary in denmark.

[Isabel]

So, something was passed especially before the proper authorities to grant Maria Teresa a quick citizenship?

[carlota]

well, i don't think it was like that. when you marry a foreigner, in most of the countries, the person gains the citizenship of the one who is from the country where the couple is living.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

That would make sense. Besides how could she have been the Hereditary GDess in Luxembourg but not even a citizen of that country?

[Isabel]

I certainly wouldn't understand how she could be Hereditary Princess without citizenship. It makes sense that after the marriage, she would gain citizenship, however wasn't something passed through Parliament before Mary of Denmark's engagement in which she became a citizen before her marriage? I asked if that was the case with Henri and Maria Teresa because their is an engagement period and wondered.

Is is true that some of the Princesses like Maxima still hold citizenship in their native countries? I remember reading that Maxima had dual citizenship, but don't know if it was really true or still the case. Sorry for being OT.

[carlota]

yes, maxima has a dual citizenship. the same, i suppose, as mary donaldson, and maria teresa. gaining a citizenship doesn't mean loosing the other one. they are citizens of argentina, australia and cuba, although they don't reside there, just the same as other people.

[Alisa]

Actually the Crown Princess Mary does not have dual citzenship.:)

[carlota]

doesn't she? so she now is only a danish citizen?

But would MT still have duel citizenship? She has been living in Luxembourg for over 20 years.

i heard that any member of the royal family has to get the approval of the grand duke and the parliment to approve an engagement for marrage... is this true?

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

I'm pretty sure it is.

[bad_barbarella]

that would be bad if they got a no and couldnt marry who they loved

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Henri and MT seem so open and loving that I don't think that would happen.

[bad_barbarella]

:) i love them both they are they cutest couple... but i would like to see MT die her hair dark like she used to have it

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Yeah, but as women get older they dye their hair lighter.

[Isabel]

I've noticed that as well. A lot of stylist say that darker hair makes you look older when you reach a certain age. If you lighten you're hair it is supposed to make you appear younger. I like MT with darker hair. But, it's really hard for her to look awful regardless of her hair color, IMO.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Yep, the older you get, the lighter and shorter your hair gets.

[bad_barbarella]

really i never knew that... haha you learn something new every day

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

That what I learn from living with old people.
