Thank you to everyone who shared the photos of the garden parties. Schlass Bierg looks like a charming setting for a summer evening event! Stephanie looked great the first night.
I saw another photo with Stephanie and Guillaume's monogram engraved on the champagne glasses and I thought that was such a fun idea!
 
:previous: I saw the same photo and I wondered why Guillaume and Stephanie's monogram was on the champagne glasses used at the Garden Party instead of that of the Grand Ducal couple, or even the dynasty's Arms?

Could it be because G/S hosted this particular party?
 
:previous: I don't know for sure but it would make sense that the monograms were included on the champagne glasses because Guillaume and Stephanie were the hosts.

Could an experienced Luxembourg royal expert enlighten us?
 
All I found was the beer glasses photo below, not champagne. While there are more "GS" glasses, there's an "H" monogramed in the back. I don't think the staff is checking monograms when serving drinks. Also, if that's not beer, that's a lot of champagne. :ohmy:

Wort French and English were added and both say GD Henri and GD Maria invited guests with "Guillaume and Stephanie were also present." Thus, Henri and MT were the hosts.

Well, beer and champagne can look quite similar late at night - when I typed my original post! :p Or, perhaps Stephanie and Guillaume just love champagne ;)

Thank you for clearing that one up though Prisma.

The family attended the Sovereign's Parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in Camberley, Great Britain, today, August 11. Prince Sebastian has completed his 44-weeks officer training course:

Congrats to all three :flowers: I know with Lux and Jordan, it is a common path.
 
Thank you for the photos iceflower - congratulations to Sebastien on his graduation. :flowers:
Everyone looked great. I wonder if Sebastien will move back to Luxembourg now that he has finished his time at Sandhurst or if he will continue to live in England; or even elsewhere.

And a video

I saw video of the Grand Duchess blessing her youngest son Sebastien by making the Sign of the Cross on his forehead after the ceremony.

She and her husband seemed beside themselves with pride. The Luxes are really a lovely, classy family.

Very proud parents indeed!!

Wonderful photos and video. Finally clear photos with Prince Louis and Princess Alexandra. I appreciate Princess Claire's hat better on the side view but dislike her coat more now; it resembles a robe when seated.
