Grand Duke Henri & Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, Current Events Part 6 (March 2008 - )

[Lighthouse]

I was only teasing Dani, I know the Luxemburger's love to celebrate. Unfortunately my sense of humour sometimes misses the mark. I wonder if they will open a railway museum like my town has?

I know that yesterday GD Henri accepted a new ambassador of Angola to Luxembourg, Belgium and Netherlands.

Well they do have the Train 1900 which is a part of the "Industrial and Railway heritage project supported by the Ministry of Culture and its National Heritage" Department.

It's a small country. Typically in Luxembourg there is a different festival or celebration of some sort that takes place every month. Luxembourgers enjoy a good celebration and festival.

Just this month alone they have the Film Festival and the Nut Market. These two events normally enjoy support from the GDF but with Louis and Felix being abroad and the Grand Duchess still recovering I guess it's too much for Guillaume and Henri to cover everything themselves.

The current events are rarely released ahead of time. I wish there was something similar to the court circular in the UK which details events ahead of time so that people could attend. Alas, we are left to forums, blogs (which obviously few people bother to credit), the official website (often updated days late), and news outlets (a tedious process to gather infos) for our Keeping Up With the De Nassaus. They don't make it so easy for people to follow them.

On Thursday The Grand Duke accepted the credentials of Elisabeth Simbrão the new ambassador of Angola to Luxembourg, Belgium and The Netherlands. Ambassador Simbrão and The Grand Duke discussed current issues of politics, economics and social problems in Angola.
