General Information and Questions about the Luxembourg Grand Ducal Family

[rere]

My guess is no the family didn't go to St. Tropez. Guillaume's summer was mostly work I think. Maybe next year, Guillaume and a girlfriend (definitely not Pia) will enjoy the beaches and waters of St. Tropez. Also hope his brothers are there for some fun.

What work did Guillaume do over the summer?

What article are we refering to here? Pia wrote an article? Or did she give some sort of interview?

Hey all! I am on holiday in Lux for 2 days. Yea! Would anyone please tell me some good places to visit - as in places about the royal family? I read that they actually live somewhere else other than the palace so if anyone knows what that is, it would be very cool. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated and I promise to post my pictures when I get back! :) I'll check again tomorrow before I go out in the city so please, please, please help me. Thanks!

Depends where in Lux you will be for that time. In Lux city itself, or does your budget short daytrips to outlying areas?

Lux city fascinates me .... it contains a number of the organs of the EU in modern buildings. It is also very much a city on the top of a river valley, and down in the river valley. Be prepared for walking up and down a lot if you are so inclined.

[ShksprNLov]

Lux city. I don't have enough time to really branch out. So in the city or near by.

I hope you have a wonderful time in Luxembourg, Shkpr. Please let us know how it was when you return since I am also interested in visiting this beautiful country.

Next spring I'll be in Europe for three weeks and besides visiting England, France, Belguim, and Germany I am thinking about taking a detour over to Luxembourg for a day or two. But we'll see.

Again, have a wonderful time!

Kanga :)

Yea, there is a palace in Luxembourg City, but the royal family doesn't live there. They Live in 2 different Cheteaus outside of the city. And I am soooooooooooooooooooo jealous of you!

Pia wrote some articles, both they were about the social scene in Norway.

Hope you enjoy your trip. I would love to visit Lux City one day.
Luxembourg will have a new museum next year. The official opening of Museum of modern art Large-Duke Jean (Mudam)will be in May 2006.

What type of art?

[RoseMary]

Yes, The articles made her sound like a rich, spoiled, socialite.

I wrote better than she does when I was in the second grade.
I couldn't stop laughing.

do people have more Questions to ask about the family

[hillary_nugent]

was Grand Duchess Maria-Therese a commoner prior to her marriage? how did she meet her husband?

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Yes she was. They met at university.

[Ennyllorac]

Grand Duchess Maria-Therese was born in Cuba. Her family left Cuba because of the revolution.

Where did they go, to Luxembourg???

[Ennyllorac]

New York, Spain, France and Switzerland I believe.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

She is well traveled.

Does anyone notice that the luxembourg princes (especially the heirs) look alot like their mothers. I mean, look at Henri, just put a wig on him and some make-up and voila, you have Josephine-Charlotte. Same with Guillaume and Maria-Theresa.
