Well, at least the forum is still around. I just got back from a two week vacation and thought that LTR was gone. But I tried to get on anyway and it worked! I was sooooooo happy!

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

There should be more photos of all Lux royals.

Maybe this will post properly.

The last two are recent. She is still beautiful.

I'd like to see pictures of her before she married, before she left Cuba.

I used to have her as my avatar before the server change.

[carlota]

she left cuba at the age of 3 so i guess there aren't pics of her there...

[gogm]

then of her in the USA or Switzerland...

[carlota]

has she lived in usa?

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

I don't think she ever did. But I can't be too sure about it.

Fireweaver posted this on 9/6/03:

"It would nevertheless be wrong to assume that the multicultural life of Grand Duchess Maria Teresa has all been plain sailing. Maria Teresa Mestre y Batista was born in Havana before the Cuban revolution and lived there until she was three years old. In October 1959, however, her parents José Antonio Mestre and Maria Teresa Batista-Falla de Mestre decided to leave Cuba and move to New York. However, the move from revolutionary Cuba to the USA did not remain the family's sole endeavour, and after six years in New York they decided to move again and settle in Switzerland. This meant that even the young Maria Teresa had to make the effort familiar to many immigrants of normalising her life in a new country. At the same time she adopted the right attitude towards settling into a new culture: "My parents taught me that one should always be optimistic about the future and not languish in nostalgia for a past that no longer exists.”

I believe this note by Fireweaver is the oldest thread in the Luxembourg page.

Oh, my bad!

[gogm]

May I have a translation? Is this bad?

IMHO, its just facts - her previous residences don't qualify or disqualify her for her position.

[carlota]

i think it's important for a royal, politician, a bussiness man or even every person to travel around the world... it gives you a very open mind and lots of wisdom.

[Isabel]

I agree,Carlota.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

I think everyone should travel, too.
