I don't think Felix is going to school anymore.

 

[hillary_nugent]

perhaps he finished his university course or whatever he was studying...hey did Felix ever go to Sandhurst as well? I can't recall if he did...and one more thing how do you pronouce Guillaume??? i heard it was like the French version of 'William' but do you pronouce it like 'William'???

 

[bad_barbarella]

felix went to sandhurst and left caz of a knee injury

will-e-am
thats how its pronounced

 

[hillary_nugent]

will-e-am thats how its pronounced

Wow...I've always pronouced Guillaume as...this is going to sound stupid but it was due to my ignorance... guy-lorm??? Don't asked me where i got that from i was saying how it was spelt hehehe...wow so its just exactly pronouced liek William?

 

[KatieLouise]

That's wierd, I thought it was pronounced so that the 'll' sounds like an 'ee' sound kind of. Gee-yom, or something similar. I thought with the way the word "guillotine" is sometimes pronounced, you know, not guillotine but gee-otine. God - does anyone here speak French?

 

[ShksprNLov]

Guillaume is a French name so I think this is how you pronounce it. You can click on the name and it says it for you.

After 2 years of french, I can speak it all right and they do pronounce ll as a y noise - like in spanish. So Guillaume would be like gui-o-tine.

 

[KatieLouise]

What a handy site that is. Well, that's kind of how I thought it sounds but I can't pronounce it very well, I'm sure.

 

[bad_barbarella]

Wow...I've always pronouced Guillaume as...this is going to sound stupid but it was dur to omy ignorance... guy-lorm??? Don't asked me where i got that from i was saying how it was spelt hehehe...wow so its just exactly pronouced liek William?

hahaha NO NO NO... i thought u didnt know how to pronounce william haha i dont know bout guillaume hahahaha

 

[suturegeisha]

Guillaume is pronounced "Gee-yohm" with a hard, not a soft G [a g as in glow, for example].
Lollies!

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

I know someone who almost majored in French. She said that the a in his name was pronounced as a hard a. But she speaks weirdly in English so I'm not sure if she is right.

 

[bad_barbarella]

mabye someone who lives in luxembourg should ask him

I've never heard of a hard 'a'.....?_?

Anyway, that's how my French teacher always said it. She might be wrong. But then again, pronunciation varies from place to place....
Lollies!

[hillary_nugent]

hahaha NO NO NO... i thought u didnt know how to pronounce william haha i dont know bout guillaume hahahaha

hahahaha...i kind of suspected this but i wasn't sure hahahaha...and then out myself in a state of distress wondering how guillaume sounded exactly like William and why he just wasn't named William then hahaha...but all is well now thanks for everyone for clarifying it ^___^

 

[KatieLouise]

Princes shouldn't have long hair. Short and sensible is the only way, I believe. "A haircut you can set your watch to," as they say. They wouldn't allow long hair like that at Sandhurst, I'm sure!

I was wondering, I think I read somewhere that after Guillaume graduated from Sandhurst, he was sworn in as a Lieutenant into the Luxembourg army. Has he been promoted since then? (You've got to love a man in uniform with lots of medals!!) Heheheheheh! Do you think any of us could get commissioned into the Luxembourg army? I think I'd like to be a Field Marshal because it sounds impressive. Or I'd be an Admiral of the Fleet if it wasn't a landlocked country... maybe I could keep a small flotilla on the Alzette.

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

He hasn't been promoted yet, but he will be when he gets older. The military works on seniority.

Wow barbarella, my family would never agree with yours!

 

[Karajan]

Hi everybody !!!

Hi everybody, it's been a while, sorry.
Too many things to do !!!
And I'm pregnant, the baby comes in 3 months, so... all theses things that you imagine.
I have not seen Guillaume for a long time, but he was quite nice to often phone me and speak with me during my pregnancy. I'm so happy being still a friend of him....many years after the Conservatoire !!!
So, must leave you,
See you soon,
If any questions, just ask...I'll try to help you. BUt I saw we have a Belvaux resident... So, how is it in BIELES ? I leave in Hobscheid, dear friend !!!

Yes, what does life as a royal entail? I suppose one would have to have a title; one would have to know how to wave with dignity; one would have to live in a big house with servants; and one would have to use the word "one" a lot.

All those things and showing up for royal events, showing up for other various events, getting photographed, going on amazing vacations, and having bodyguards around all the time.
