Childhood pictures of Grand Duchess Maria Teresa

I have found some childhood pictures of Grand Duchess Maria Teresa (born 22.03.1956).

1. little Maria Teresa Mestre (she's the girl on the knees:) ) with her two brothers and her sister Catalina (unfortunately I ignore the names of the brothers:( )
2. little Maria Teresa with her siblings and her father José Antonio Mestre and her mother Maria Teresa Batista-Falla de Mestre (Maria Teresa on the left is looking like Princess Alexandra!:) )
3. another picture of Maria Teresa with her younger sister Catalina

So anyway, I was watching a 30 min special on the Grand Duchy, and I was like OMG for the entire time. I must say I loved it. It is the most I've ever seen of them on tv.

No worries!!! As for whether JC dislikes her daughters-in-law still, I'm not sure. Does anyone else know this?
By the way, Hillary, did you see the series "A Royal Family"? It was on SBS in August-September, I think. JC was featured on that - she talked about her childhood (and the death of her mother), the Belgian royal family's imprisonment during the war and her marriage to GD Jean, etc. It was rather interesting and there were a few decent shots of Luxembourg! None of the other grand ducal family members were interviewed on it, I'm afraid...

They only interviewed Henri and MT. Oddly enough Henri's was in English and MT's wasn't. They spoke alot about the history of this family. Then for a while about their marrige and how Henri would have given up his rights to the throne if he wasn't allowed to marry MT. They also had some clips from when MT went to a school for the disabled. I knew she was really nice, I now see her as being alot like superwoman. They ended with the family, and how they are so modern, etc. Did you know that Henri, Felix, and Louis went bungee jumping?

Does MT speak English? I have heard that she speaks a few words of it, and that she is not fluent.

I would think MT knows English b/c she lived in New York for a few years, but its been a while. She visited the school as a royal duty thing b/c she is part of this big charity organization.
