Of anything,:), I am happy that you like it, this Friday I believe that it is Place Royale, I suppose that there will be a small report on the view to the Pope of the whole family.:)

In this link, of the one to the I number nine there are new pictures of the Dukes from Luxemburg in their visit to Holland, I have just found them, that is to say where it puts:luxemburg appears a I number, because you should change that I number and to put luxemburg1, luxemburg2, etc, up to the 10.
I wait that he/she has explained to me well, my English is not very wide,:), I put you here the link, and to change the numeros:http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...luxemburg1.jpg

I saw on the Benelux Royals MB that Maria Teresa will not be going to the King of Thailand's Jubilee celebrations in June- she will go to New York to accept the "Path to Peace" award instead.
Wonder if this means that Guillaume will accompany his father? That would be a nice thing to see.

This might be a stupid question, but what is the "Path to Peace" award?

Here's what I found when I Googled it.....
.....and Maria-Teresa's bio on their site.

Apparently it is a Catholic organization.

Erm... is it just me or does this foundation sound just a little bit lightweight? I read the section about other laureates - anmong them was Hans Adam of Liechtenstein, and just somehow I cannot see what his contribution to this world has been, apart from perhaps giving the church a stiff pile of cash. Anyhow, congrats to MT.

It seems to me that there's no particular reason.. they also went to visit Pope John Paul II several times with no reason.. I think that because they are one of the few royal families who are catholics they are "invited" more often to the vatican than other families.. also to "meet" Pope Benedict because since his assumption the lux royals hadn't gone to the vatican.

Maybe they were saying "How do you do?" :)

Place Royal was on last Friday, but not on the video archive of RTL. Anyone knows why? :(

I think they will post it soon, It usually takes a little while after it has first been aired.
And because it was a very special report including all the family with the pope.

Fingers X...:o keep Checking...

I can't see the video with the pope's visit:( !! I think my computer have some problems . Anyway, I wonder if one of you have bought the mag Point de vue in the past weeks?? There was a pic of Maria Teresa wearing the grand ducal crown, I mean the biggest one. Sorry I can't remember the real name of the crown. I'll try to scan the pic this week!

What was the occasion? Most royals don't wear the crowns unless it's a big formal occasion.

It was for the "dîner de gala" at La Haye palace, on the 24th april, during the state visit to the Netherlands. It's the Nassau's diadème. They're saying in the article that even the queen Elizabeth doesn't have a jewel of this magnitude. This is the first time Maria Teresa is wearing it. :)

I've gotta see that. It's probably like one of the beauty competion crowns that are huge and weigh your head down and hurt your neck. If you could share the pic with the rest of us that would be awesome! Thanks for sharing.
