It's very important to the EU and is known for banking, but I don't know of any commercial things, like the Swiss have chocolate and watches, and the French have fashion.

you can find plenty of photos at www.corbis.com -- just search for Luxembourg.

Luxembourg seems to be one of the more casual courts in Europe. Henri, MT, Jean and JC live in palaces -- Guillaume (Henri's brother, not his son), apparently moved back to Luxembourg after his car crash, but I don't think he lives in one of the family's official residences.

I read somewhere that Luxembourg is a very small country? Anyone know how small is it? And if is an banking hub and is important to EU, then can we assume that Luxembourg is like anyother big city such as london and is a rich Country!!!

Luxembourg covers 1,000 sq miles. There are many smaller countries in the world.

Yes and you don't have to be powerful to be great. A country can have a huge army, navy or airforce and possess powerful weapons and bombs, but that doesn't make it great. It's a country's people and their contribution to the good of mankind that make it great.

When HGD Guillaume gets married is there a castle where he and his wife can live or would there be in a house that the family already owns

I would imagine that they would live in the Fischbach castle, for the simple reason that when Henri and MT married, that's where they moved into.

That is an interesting question. I would love to find out more about the topic of ghosts at the homes myself but I don't think that it would be easy to find out the anwer to that question. You'd might have to ask someone who works at one of the homes or if you ever were lucky enough ask the royal family.
