So anyway, can we all agree that Henri and MT are a somewhat happy couple?

Sorry, it is perhabs old stuff but I think it hasn't been posted here:


His Royal Highness The Grand Duke Henri Visits the Galapagos Islands ( February 2001 during fuel spill)
During his stay in the Galapagos Islands, The Grand Duke of Luxembourg expressed his concern; "When I first heard of it on the 18th or 19th of January it was an enormous shock, not only for myself, but for the whole international community. I hope very much that the spill will alarm not only the Ecuadorian authority but also the international community that prevention has to be done to avoid this kind of catastrophe again. Not only in oil but in many other ways."

More can be found under this link:
http://www.darwinfoundation.org/oilspill/duke.html



You can find a nice video under this link:

PS: I have found a nice picture of Grand Duke Henri on the Galapagos images and I will try to scan it so that I can post it here.

Moreover, if there is someone here who has got his/her hands on it, could that someone tell what's in it...?

@gaggleofcrazypeople and @lisamaria:

The book Henri Grand-Duc 50 who was published after Grand Duke Henri's has 110 pages. The main attention is directed to many beautiful pictures. Furthermore the book explains the life and the functions of the Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg; the birth and the childhood in Betzdorf - the engagement, the wedding and happy family life- his years as "Lieutnant-représentant" (1989- 2000)- the throne achievement in 2000 - the "Joyeuses Entrées" in 2000- his functions as Grand Duke and finally his 50th anniversary with pics which have been published here already.

Because most of the pics are on two pages and it's in a format of a book and not a magazine it is rather difficult to scan some pictures.

I will try to photograph and download them in the computer which is certainly more easy and the pics are without a shadow due to the book format.
