You're welcome hillary_nugent.

But actually I was a bit off in my calculations (math was never my strong point!). Irish twins are babies born about a year to 15/16 months apart (I forgot about the pregnancy part!) -- so I guess Alexandra and Sebastian would be considered Irish twins.

"Irish" twins I guess because back when the term was coined, the Irish were known for having many children very close in age -- many lived in rural areas and required many children to help with the farm work and also being predominantly Catholic they didn't believe in or use contraception -- so a lot of babies born very close together.

Well thanks for that interesting fact Alexandria ^__^ wow...i guess that means Pierre and Charlotte of Monaco are also Irish twins...but back to the topic...how is our Luxembourg Royal clan lately? ^___^

i'm trying to find away to post the pics i can never seem to post pics from that site...because of its format or something...

[KatieLouise]

Are they in dodgy, huge bitmap format?

Anyway here they are - Christmas 2004 for the Grand Ducal family!

Thanks for the hot lead, Hillary! :) (I hope don't seem like a "posting hog" - since I learnt how to post pictures it's been a kind of madness ) Isn't that a great website (the yahoogroup GuillaumeHereditaryofLuxembourg) - there are so many pics I've never seen before! Isn't Guillaume looking terrific in that family pic? Felix doesn't look so happy. Awww... he looks sad... :(

[msfroyste]

[hillary_nugent]

[msfroyste]

just save them to your computer,usually in some sort of pic saving file, and after that, just use the posting guidelines for this website.

[hillary_nugent]

by the way doesn't Alexandra look alot mature in the above pics and is it just me or did she get her hair layered as well? ^__^ oOooo we got something in common hahaha

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

[KatieLouise]

[msfroyste]
