From CORBIS...
A great mother.
The royal family of Luxembourg: Grand Duke Jean with his wife, Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte and their children (l to r) Marie Astrid, Margarethe or Helene [?], Jean, and Henri, 1966. The Grand Duke came to the throne of Luxembourg's constitutional monarchy in 1964 upon the abdication of his mother, Grand Duchess Charlotte. Josephine Charlotte is the daughter of King Leopold III and Queen Astrid of Belgium. The eldest boy, Prince Henri, is the heir to the throne.

Thank you, drimal, Hillary and HMQEII. These photos are a wonderful tribute to Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte. These pictures show her how I want to remember her - dedicated to her family and dedicated to her royal position. She was truly a grand lady.
