Happy Birthday Grand Duke Jean

 

[BeatrixFan]

Am I right in saying that it's nearly been 2 years since the death of Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte? I think it's wonderful how people across the world still remember her. She was just so special, so elegant, so regal. The world misses her very much. I know I do. She was a real royal.

No she did not attend the funaral, probably her health was to frail to travel to Luxembourg then. She did attend the 80th birthday celebrations of her brother though.

Mstislav Rostropovich, the great Russian-Azerbaijanian cellist and a close friend of the GD Jean, has passed away. This edition of Place Royal has a wonderful clip of them meeting last November in Luxembourg.

I believe the old Grand Duke attended Laval University before joining the British Army in WWII. The doctorate probably honors him for his long service to Luxembourg.

Grand Duke Jean was present at a photoshoot on the occassion of the engagement of his granddaughter ADss. Marie-Christine of Austria to Count Rodolphe of Limburg-Stirum. Look here for the pictures.

Good to see GD Jean up and about. He seems to be doing well. Being active, not just staying cooped up in that palace, should be good for him.
