I'm sure all the people of Luxembourg are missing this Wonderful Lady very much. She is the personified Elegance, imo.

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.
