Hi everyone,
I have a question concerning granduke´s political role. When naming new government - Must the granducal decree naming new minister be co-sign by anyone else like in Belgium or Netherland or not? Cause everything must be co-sign right, but on the other hand constituttion says that he can change ministers (no word about co-signing in this case).
And well - anyone knows when inviolability of granduke was added to constitution? And what about speeches - are they written by ministers or reviewed by ministers (I guess they have an influence on speeches, but my question is which influence)?
From one question are now three:) Hope anyone knows answers here

Together with Luxembourg's Minister for Justice François Biltgen, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa visited the Centre pénitentiaire in Givenich, an open prison in the east of the country. Some of the detainees only sleep in the prison while they spend the day at their regular work, while others work on the former estate. The prison aims to help people to rehabilitate into society.

Is it just me or do the Grand Duke and Duchess seem much less active in public ATM, they don't seem to be about as often or is that just that we are hearing less about them?

I don't think they have decreased their number of engagements, they are just not posted here on the forum. To keep up with what they are doing, I can only recommend the Luxembourg-related blog ( Luxembourg). They are doing a pretty good job at covering all their events.

Congratulations to Grand Duchess Maria Teresa!
It is great that such orders can still be awarded. I wonder what the requirements for the Order of St. Isabel are.

Yes, this so beautiful to see the royal houses sharing in the dynastic traditions of religious orders attending to the needs of the poor and most vulnerable. I read some background and origins of the order which you may find interesting, here are some excerpts: "The Queen (Elizabeth) was accustomed to visit the elderly, the needy and the poorest families in the kingdom, distributing to them money which she took from the Royal Treasury to buy food and clothing. Unjustly suspicious of the Queen”s charitable works the King (King Denis of Portugal) had her spied on and in his fury demanded retribution from her, but in the moment in which she revealed the money hidden in her clothing it was found that the coins had miraculously changed into roses.

Very interesting, I lived in Luxembourg in 1972 to 1978 , and it was a very rich country , with all the banks , a little Hong Kong in Europe. They were a lot of people of Portugal, they worked both at were not poor at all.
Situation seams to have changed a lot. I know that if you want to rent a House in Luxembourg it is so expensive that belgians live in Arlon (Belgium) - Kind regards - MO
