Is he still actually counting? Or does he just say, "I'm old enough" when asked?
But does he often attend?I think he rarely attends,maybe sometimes.suturegeisha said:Grand Duke Jean joined the Irish Guards [a regiment of the British Army] during World War II and saw action at Normandy, the Battle of Caen, and the liberation of Brussels. He attained the rank of lieutenant, then captain. He was promoted to colonel in 1984. He is also a Knight of the Garter. These two rankings put him to ride immediately behind the Queen during Trooping the Colour, with Prince Charles, Prince Phillip, and the Duke of Kent.
Lollies!

I remember reading somewhere that Grand Duke Jean is no longer Colonel of the Irish Guards. I think he resigned from the regiment.HMQueenElizabethII said:But does he often attend?I think he rarely attends,maybe sometimes.
No, I'm pretty sure he's there nearly every year, and they also go to Royal Ascot.HMQueenElizabethII said:But does he often attend?I think he rarely attends,maybe sometimes.
Who is next to Henri in number 2?suturegeisha said:Some pictures, in case you didn't believe me.
The first three are from Royal Ascot; the last two are from Trooping the Colour [in which you can see some of the Windsor family as well, and Felix with his glasses in the last picture].
