Visit
There is a program of the visit in French on the Gouvernement du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg - Informations et actualités website.
It would be great if someone could translate it into English.

The Grand Duke is a nephew to the King (son of the King's late sister Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte). The Grand-Duke therefore also is a cousin to Prince Philippe, Princess Astrid and Prince Laurent. Prince Laurent and Princess Claire hardly have any public appearances. They are low in the 'pecking order' and that becomes clear in the public representation as well. They come after the royal couple, after Queen Fabiola, after the Duke and Duchess of Brabant and after Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz.
