News and Pictures of the Grand Ducal Family, Part 5

Wow, that is the first I have heard about any of that. I think it's surprising that the investigation was so sloppy and that the real criminals have yet to be found... It's good that Jean was cleared though. Those sounds like some terrible rumors to be going around about you.

Love your picture header!

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

I know. I love it too.

Just want to add to this sad story that I'm quite sure that these bad rumours were the reason why Prince Jean renounced at his rights, the divorcement was only a pretext. He moved to Paris where he is still living actually and was hardly seen in Luxembourg during the last years.

Prince Jean's advocate emphasized that his client has been deeply injured and disappointed by the reproaches. Luxembourg's most famous lawyer Gaston Vogel (who is acknowleged as a person who says the things point blank) critized Luxembourg's public attorney's office of proceeding very unfortunate; "this is more a burden than an approval".

The witness which burdened the prince (by saying that he saw him in a car near the crime scene on the day of the attack of 20th November 1985) explained his statement in an interview: " I didn't say that the man I saw in the car was the bomber (contradiction to what he announced a few weeks ago! ) but that I recognized a man of the public life, Prince Jean and I mentionned the name in the discussion with the prime minister..."

He didn't answered to the facts that there are pictures and texts which belay that Prince Jean has been a guest on a hunt that day and I really doubt that he really now Prince Jean's face so well that he couldn't confuse him with someone else. There isn't even a proof that the man in the car (which wasn't Prince Jean!) has something to do with the crimes! By the way it is really strange that the so called witness didn't mention Prince Jean's name at the police office in 1985 and now all of a sudden after the RTL report he remembered that the man he saw in the car on that day could have been Prince Jean. Either this man just wants attention or he wants to cause damage to the Grand Ducal family!

Wow. That is crazyness. How can people change their minds after 20 years?

[RoseMary]

It has taken this long? Has anyone over there heard of innocent till proven guilty? I wonder if he had been someone else if the same thing would have happened. Would the witness even have mentioned it.

Henri I, Luxemburg's Grand Duke (L) and his son Crown Prince Guillaume stand to attention during a welcoming ceremony in Wiesbaden 17 March 2006. Henri and Guillaume are on a two-day visit to Wiesbaden

I think that Guillaume looks with beard older, but very good. Are there more new images?

[alelysafina]

He's starting to look like Nicholas II of Russia. :)

Thanks for the pic

[elmabruin]

Yes! I agree. Although I don't think they are related. I don't know why he let his beard grow like that. He looks mature but I would like him to shave it. My taste I suppose.

here's a german article of the visit to Wiesbaden

[Kelly]

quote=Virnabrisa2000]Of the visit visit of Wiesbaden[/quote]Yes:p but what about the visit? Are the GD royal couple there?
What does the article say?

[Virnabrisa2000]

Cre that if, it is the Great Duke Henri, and their son the prince heir Guillaume, but not you if also this the Great Duquesa María Teresa.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Awww...I missed Guillaume. Its great to see a pic of him again, even with facial hair.

[soCal girl]

He's so handsome either way that I don't care! He's 24 though, right? The beard makes him look a lot older IMO so maybe he should shave it off .

[GreenLily]

Are there any other fans of the beard out there, or is it just me? I LOVE the beard on him, and he looks very handsome in that picture.

[ShksprNLov]

I'm so glad that Guillaume hasn't dropped off the face of the earth - I was beginning to worry! As a fierce opponent of the beard, I am surprised that I think he looks quite attractive in that photo....it looks better now that it is more full in the chin area. He doesn't look quite as sleazy as before (in my opinion that is.)

I forgot to mention this earlier - he does look like Nicholas II in that photo! I love it! And the more I look at the picture, the better I think he looks. As long as the beard is full, I am all for it.
