i'm glad to hear her operation went well and she is recovering surely. i'd be glad to see her again performing duties in due time and hope the problem got solved.
 
Actually, I believe that she had two caesarean births. I know that Guillaume was a caesarean birth, but I can't remember which of the other four was as well. I'm pretty certain there was another one.

I, too, hope that she is okay and its not cancer related, because I've heard from other sources that many people in her family have died of cancer. In fact, I believe that her mother may have died of cancer.
 
Hola has an article about the Grand Duchess' surgery:
María Teresa de Luxemburgo intervenida con éxito en un hosp |Noticias hola.com

It says that the surgery was planned a while ago, and that the Grand Duchess is doing well and has not had any complications. She had the surgery in Brussels, where it was performed by one of the best gynecological doctors in the world. The article says that the type of surgery has not been revealed, but it is likely that it was a gynecological surgery due to the fact that it was performed by a specialist in that field. The Grand Duchess will require several weeks to completely recover from the surgery.
 
I'm glad to hear the surgery went well and I wish her a speedy recovery.:flowers:
 
:previous: This is very good news! I hope that she continues to make an excellent recovery.
 
Changing the topic for a minute, I used to be able to find in RTL.lu an ongoing program that reported on the Luxembourg Royal Family. There was this woman who would give updated news reports every month or so. It was archived in the video section of RTL.lu. Try as I may, I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Has this been moved somewhere else, or was it just canceled? It was very interesting because one would actually see the royal family and they were sometimes interviewed.
 
Place Royale is the show you are referring to. I cannot find the archives of this show either. I haven't heard anything about a new episode since 2008 and no one appears to have saved the videos. I've actually found links to the show in the archives but the links are all dead.

RTL videos can all be saved on realplayer but I have yet to encounter anyone who actually saved them. Felix and Guillaume were both interviewed for this program....it would make interesting viewing if someone saved them.
 
Thank you for getting back to me on this. You see, I was afraid that I was searching incorrectly and that's why I couldn't find it. Yes! Palace Royale! That's what it was called. What a shame that it was canceled [?] and removed from the online archives section. Had I known that they could have been saved in Real Player, I definitely would have archived them all. They were all very good. It was interesting to see the royal family talking and going about their royal duties as opposed to just seeing them in photographs.
 
I guess he's actually been pretty busy this week. He's been all over Europe.

It's Place Royale not Palace Royale. Several of the episodes about the Belgian RF are on youtube but none of the ones on Luxembourg (I've searched).

Additional photos of the 65 year celebration.

I'm sure they have met many times before.

The Duke of York was in Luxembourg in his capacity as the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment. He had a full round of engagements which is the reason why The Grand Duke received him.

The Duke of York's website has more info than was released by the Grand Ducal Court. Visit here and scroll down to 28 September.
 
You might be shocked to find that we aren't the only ones who think our Grand Ducal Family is attractive. It was on my favorite blog yesterday that Henri had made Hottest Heads of States top 10. No big deal. This morning Wort actually covered it:ROFLMAO: I hope the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess see Wort today. I'm sure it'll be a good laugh for them.
 
Yes, he has a certain look of youth that he hasn't lost over the years. Maybe because he is slim.
 
But do they mean hottest like good-looking or hottest like "who's in and/or most talked about"? Either way GD Henri should be on the list at around the place he got

If it's good looking I would think certain names would be replaces.. (look at no 72 for example). But then I guess what's beautiful for some isn't beautiful for others. Although GD Henri would be handsome in everyone's eyes ;)

Henri would actually be at no 3 if they just went for head of states as they list is called but throughout they mixes head of state with head of goverment. The PM of Ukraine and the PM of Norway are not head of states

The list was ranking hot as in good looking. I think that Norway and Congo definitely aren't as hot as Henri. Still I thought it was funny.
 
Henri has classic good looks that have not changed over the years. There may be a deeper wrinkle here and there, but overall, he has a very young looking face and carries his clothes well, no middle age paunch, etc.

He looks nice for his age, or any age.
 
The Grand Duchess is attending a charity fashion show this evening in Neumünster Abbey to benefit the Red Cross. The spring collection of Natan will be presented.
