A State Visit--I assume there will be tiaras???????

 

[grim_lady]

If there is a state dinner then there's a good chance for some tiaras.

 

[Hanna Regina]

Maybe even two occasions! First the state dinner and then the Grand Ducal couple's dinner for their host. It's a pity they won't bring any children. I wouldn't mind two handsome Princes to go with CP Victoria and Madeleine... That would be something to look at!

Is a pain that we have so few news of the Family Ducal Grand, there neither are not pictures, do you know about agencies of pictures that have pictures of the Grands Dukes?

 

[grim_lady]

There aren't many websites that focus on the family due to the fact that they aren't as famous as say...the British royals. Not to worry though; most picture sites that host photos on royal families will have a few from this one.

Also, I've always felt that this family is pretty good about privacy.

Anyway, check their official website.

FINALLY AFTER A WHILE HERE ARE SOME NEW PICS OF THE GRAND DUKE AND DUCHESS AT Finale de la Coupe de Luxembourg de Football 2008

Cour grand-ducale de Luxembourg - Finale de la Coupe de Luxembourg de Football 2008

 

[drimal]

My favourite football team CS Grevenmacher won the cup (against Victoria Rosport)!

I hope there will be alot of nice pics from the Grand Ducal family at the Olympic Games next month.

 

[gabys]

Yesterday they were at the Final Mass held by Pope Benedict XVI for WYD 2008 in Sydney,Australia.The cameras showed a brief shot of them both.

 

[greek101]

Which members of the family were here(in Australia)

 

[gabys]

I just got to see the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess.as for the other members I'm not sure =)

 

[Odette]

When I was at the Athens Olympic as a volunteer we were notified one afternoon that a Royal had to come through a secure part of the enclave because his aide mixed up the exits where his chauffer was waiting for him. Well, I perked up waiting to see who the Royal was. There comes GD Henri with Alexandra by his side. I was struck at how close they were walking next to each other. We escorted them to the exit and at no moment did he smile or acknowledge our presence. They got on the car that was waiting for them, the body guard was the only who thanked us and they took off. I was so dissapointed at his rudeness. We felt totally invisible...........
All those smiles and waving I see in photos are for the magazines I suppose....

 

[Shaiya]

That sucks. But maybe he just has so many people around him all day that he finds it tiring or he's just very protective of his daughter. Or maybe he is a mean grumpy fellow. Who knows?

 

[Nitefeatherz]

Maybe he was having a bad day? Or perhaps he was just focused on where he was going or the fact that they chose the wrong exit and getting to the car. You never know. You can't always judge a person's personality based on one meeting.

 

[greek101]

Plus you can't expect the guy to have a smile on his face all the time, everyone is entitled to be grumpy sometimes.

 

[Odette]

Perhaps all of the above. The area was restricted and deserted. Present were the three members of the GD's party, myself and another volunteer.
The driver and the assistant were outside the locked gate we escorted them to. A simple nod would have sufficed in my view, being treated as if we were invisible was an insult.

Open Air Festival of Wiltz - 06.07.2008

OK. Here are these pictures

Great photos. They look like they are having a fun time. I wonder if they like ABBA.

Did ABBA perform at the festival?

Did ABBA perform at the festival?

I'm not sure if ABBA themselves actually performed. I read somewhere that they were dancing to the music of ABBA during the festival. I can't remember where I read it (sorry!).

The royal family of Luxembourg attended the opening of the Open Air Festival of Wiltz featuring the best ABBA revival group ever - cover band ABBA Fever. Their show is called Thank You for the Music. The English press has called the show the "best performance of ABBA since ABBA". ABBA hasn't performed together since 1986.

 

[Virnabrisa2000]

The Grand Duchess María Teresa of Luxenbourg has attended the ceremony of opening of the Olympic Games?

 

[tdarlene]

The Grand Duchess María Teresa of Luxenbourg has attended the ceremony of opening of the Olympic Games?

Yes, they had. I saw them at tv waving to the luxemburg delegation team at the Opening Cerimony of the Olympic Games.

 

[Virnabrisa2000]

That well!! I am happy a lot that the Great Duchess María Teresa has attended! but I didn't see it, I hope we can see pictures of the Grands Dukes

 

[magnik]

They look nice and happy when they were weaving to their olympic team during opening ceremony.
