May she rest in peace and my condolences to her family.

In the 77 years of her life she had done so many good things as President of Luxembourg Red Cross and other dedications for charity!

We will never forget her!:(

Here is another link from RTL Tele Lëtzebuerg where I had this very sad news heard for the first time:

Yes, because I have found great pics of her whole life on the site of the newspaper Luxembourg Wort.:o

And certainly other members have great pics of her too, they want to share with us.

Lightbulb Sad News

I learned today that SAR Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte has passed away. She was 77 years of age, and died of lung cancer. All the info is in this message, which, I'm sorry to tell you, is in German. She was a great lady, strong and spirited and with a great deal of charachter, so bow your heads in her memory.

Joséphine-Charlotte verstorben

Die 77-Jährige wurde seit Monaten wegen Krebs behandelt

Letzte Aktualisierung: 10-01-2005 12:44

Staatsminister Jean-Claude Juncker: "Ein großer Verlust"


In der Nacht zum Montag ist Großherzogin Joséphine-Charlotte im Alter von 77 Jahren verstorben. Ihr Gesundheitszustand hatte sich am Sonntag zunehmend verschlechtert.
Die Regierung hat eine offizielle Staatstrauer bis zum Samstag erklärt. Während dieser Zeit sollen die Fahnen an öffentlichen Gebäuden auf Halbmast gehisst werden. Der großherzogliche Hof verhängte eine sechs-wöchige Trauer. Die offizielle Trauerfeier soll am Samstag morgen stattfinden.
Die 77-Jährige war seit 2003 wegen eines Lungentumors in Behandlung. Damals war die offizielle Feier zur Goldenen Hochzeit von Großherzog Jean und Großherzogin Joséphine-Charlotte wegen der Behandlung abgesagt worden. Der Gesundheitszustand der Großherzogin hatte sich später jedoch gebessert, so dass sie im Dezember 2003 und im Januar 2004 wieder in der Öffentlichkeit auftreten konnte.
Jean-Claude Juncker: Ableben ist großer Verlust
Premierminister Jean-Claude Juncker sprach in einer offiziellen Beileidsbekundung von einem "großen Verlust für das Land". Großherzogin Joséphine-Charlotte habe das Land über Jahrzehnte mit großer Würde und Erhabenheit vertreten.
Joséphine-Charlotte Ingeborg Elisabeth Marie José Marguerite Astrid wurde am 11. Oktober 1927 in Brüssel geboren. Die Tochter von Prinz Leopold von Belgien, dem späteren König Lepold III., und Prinzessin Astrid von Schweden wuchs in der Residenz von Stuyvenberg auf.
Nach der Landung der alliierten Truppen in der Normandie wurde König Leopold von Belgien am 7. Juni 1944 mit seiner Tochter nach Deutschland deportiert.
Soziales Engagement
Nach der Befreiung am 7. Mai 1945 lässt sich die Familie in der Nähe von Genf nieder. Dort besucht Prinzessin Joséphine-Charlotte unter anderem die Vorlesungen über Kinderpsychologie von Professor Piaget. Nach ihrer Rückkehr nach Belgien interessiert sich die Prinzessin vor allem für soziale Belange sowie für Kunst.
Am 9. April 1953 heiratet Joséphine-Charlotte den damaligen Erbgroßherzog von Luxemburg, Prinz Jean. Aus der Ehe gehen fünf Kinder hervor: Prinzessin Marie-Astrid, Prinz Henri, Prinz Jean, Prinzessin Margaretha und Prinz Guillaume.
Nach der Thronübernahme durch Großherzog Jean am 12. November 1964 setzte Großherzogin Joséphine-Charlotte ihr Engagement für soziale Belange fort. Seit 1964 war sie Präsidentin des Roten Kreuzes. Seit 1990 leitete sie als "Chef Guide" die "Guides"-Vereinigungen des Großherzogtums.
Wie es in einer Pressemitteilung des Hofmarschallamtes verlautet, können diejenigen, die der Verstorbenen eine letzte Ehererbietung erweisen wollen, dies mit einer Spende für die Dienste des Roten Kreuzes (Croix-Rouge Luxembourgeoise CCP IBAN LU 52 1111 0000 1111 0000, mention "Hommage à Son Altesse Royale la Grande -Duchesse Joséphine-Charlotte") tun.
