But not Luis. He really looks like Henri you can see it on photo.

They are from a photo shoot to celebratae Henri's 50th birthday. There was also a more formal one of Henri, Maria Teresa and the kids in black tie.

Look at Sebastien. And then look at Henri at his age. The kids have got their colouring from their mother (dark hair ect.) but I think they have quite a bit of their father too.

Here in Finland some magazine published a page-long story about the silver wedding and made the following points: 1) Henri is very handsome, 2) so are the boys, and 3) Alexandra is growing into the greatest royal beauty in Europe. Finally, they have arrived in here :p

Those are both from last year, I believe. Mims111 posted two other pictures from that same photoshoot in the last page here. Can't remember where they came from, either.

these photographs of the grand ducal family were i believe to be released in a book titled Grand Duc Henri 50. they were previously posted in the thread grand duke henri and grand duchess maria teresa pt. 2 by drimal on 4-16-05 at 11:50 am. this is probably where i got the photos from. they can also be found on the luxembourgroyals website as well as hello!.

Is it me or does Guillame look like a brunette version of Prince William?
I prefer Guillame to William though

Wow! Alexandra is becoming one of the most beautiful princess in Europe.. I think Charlotte has a competition now..I'm really amazed at how beautiful she is.. she's just natural. mixture of her cuban blood and of course the royal blood..

[Ditebaby]

Alexandra is becoming more and more beautiful. I noticed in a somewhat recent picture that She's now wearing a promise ring on her left hand ring finger. I'm curious as to what type of promise it is.

[HRH Mims]

Promise ring? What is it?

[grim_lady]

A promise ring is a ring that is meant to remind you of, well, a promise you are keeping. They can sometimes be used when a person is promising their heart to someone else (imagine, Alexandra has fallen in love with a boyfriend) or they can be used for other promises. I have a friend that received a promise ring from her father and was made to promise that she would save herself for marriage.

But Alexandra’s ring may not be a promise ring because I have tons of rings and I usually just wear them wherever they fit so it could be the same case.
