Welcome to this board, pasiphaé

Guillaume and Edward greeted Society of Luxembourg Students in Britain in 2003. I have seen pictures of the event, but not those. Thanks for the photos.

 

[pasiphaé]

Hi! I found these pics on luxembourg sites mostly but I can't remember exactly which ones.
Here are some others.

 

[pasiphaé]

I found those in seeger press

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Uck! They hunt???

 

[pasiphaé]

I don't know! But I read in a magazine that Joséphine-Charlotte did.

But I didn't know Henri and Maria Teresa were hunting.

I was surprised when I saw this picture.

 

[msfroyste]

i knew j-c did and henri does hunt, but mt is surprising. hmmm

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

I thought they were supposed to be modern.

 

[msfroyste]

hunting is still "modern". there are members of my family that still hunt and they enjoy it thouroughly, although i don't participate myself. people in the developing world and in the developed world still hunt and i don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as ppl eat what they kill instead of killing the animal for sport. i think that's what henri and j-c did( killed animals for food) b/c i remember reading somewhere that in luxembourg, venison is a popular item of food.

 

[KatieLouise]

Bah! I'm feeling disturbed like gaggles... While I can accept Henri hunting, I find it unseemly for MT to be doing the same - she's such a kind-hearted and motherly person that I just can't think of her killing (or at the very least watching her husband kill) living creatures. :disillusionment:

 

[msfroyste]

i think she was there to "hold" henri's stuff, like guns, dead game, etc. but who knows...*shrugs

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

But she doesn't act like Henri's slave or anything.

 

[msfroyste]

of course not. she was probably being nice...hehehe. they both obviously adore each other. hence, she probably didn't mind at all.

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

That is going a little far in my eyes.

 

[Nathalian]

Cof cof cof... for sure she´s not Henri slave....why does everybody thing that? Maybe she was hunting....I know it´s wrong...but...

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

She doesn't seem like the type that would hunt.

 

[Nathalian]

Hummm...maybe she´s not..but, I don´t think she was just helping him....he could ask for another person....

 

[hillary_nugent]

back from a long absence ^___^ MT hunts? can't really picture her hunting...she seems so motherly and loving...i thought that would go to animals as well...

Your Favourite Grand Ducal Family Pictures

I always liked the family pictures of the Grand Ducal family, for example the one where all of them were wearing jeans or the holiday ones.
So I was wondering, what are your favourite photographs of the family?

I have never seen this photo:

A very nice picture of Guillaume, Felix and Louis play instruments for their parents.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

Look at that dog sitting next to MT, it looks like a bear!

The Luxes are so photogenic, they should have their own TV series!

It looks like it's maybe a Newfoundland dog. I love those dogs.

And yes, beautiful picture.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

Yes, a Newfoundland-thanks HRHHermione!

The late Bobby Kennedy had one that looked exactly like that...his name was Brumus and RFK used to bring Brumus to work with him at the Justice Dept. when he was Attorney General. Brumus would scare the bejeezus out of people!

....and driving people crazy for using the expensive rugs as his (the dog's) bathroom.

 

[IloveCP]

Here is a great picture of them!

There are some lovely photos in the gallery. I especially like the photo of the grand duchess overlooking the city of Luxembourg.

Olivier Polet is a Belgian photographer who has made several photo sets of the Belgian royal family.
