I wanted to make a thread so that we may post postcards of the Grand Ducal Family members. Including the Grand Dukes sisters and brother.

Please post all that you may find....

I am posting (right now) so that I have found on Ebay while looking for some to purchase.

Have fun!

Thought that I would quickly throw these in, although not postcards, they are postage :) . Grand Duchess Charlotte.

I have some of Grand Duke Henri and Maria-Teresa at the celebration of their wedding on leaflets (stamps) and also some with the three Princes (Guillaume - Felix-Louis), I just don't know how to scan them right now, my scanner is messed up![font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial]

Thanks for posting these wonderful pics ! They sure brought back some memories. I had a big scrapbook about the family in the eighties but my mom somehow misplaced them..:(

The child with Jean is definitely Princess Marie-Astrid! She was an adorable toddler.
In one of my books I have one pic of the birth of Prince Louis. I'll post it later on in the evening..

Do you have any pics of Alexandra when she was born? I have enver seen any pics of her when she was a baby.

Beate,

I am glad to see that ALMAB and myself arn't the only ones on the same page when it comes to the Luxembourg Royals. I would love to see the pic you have of Louis birth. I have yet to see any postcards/pics of Alexandra and Sebastian's birth. I do remember Corbis having some of Prince Sebastian.... I will post them in another thread.

Thank You again,

Chanel

I am looking forward to more pics and I will scan the pic very soon..:)

Yes, I always liked the Luxembourg family!

[Beate]

Here we go!! Hope this works..

I also have two nice pics from a book called L'Annee Princiere of Marie-Astrid being pregnant with Imre and then holding the newborn baby. SInce this forum is so huge I am not sure whether or not it has been posted yet..

Living in Australia i am deprived of many experinces...hahahaha....but i get to experience many others that compensate ^^

A big interest in the Lux Royal Family in Austrailia huh? How cool! I am sure that there is more of an interest in the Danish Royal Family now that Mary Donaldson is not CP Mary of Denmark.... I am not sure how they are distributed. I wish I knew myself! Sweden is big on the postcard thing too!

lol i'm quoting myself..rather sad indeed but i forgot to ass a word before 'interest' that word being 'NO' hahahahaha so what i meant was that there is no interest in royal families in Australia...not as big as there is in Europe and stuff...so yeah...sorry about the mistake hahaha

I just have no life. I'm not even from Europe. All my friends have paying jobs and I don't. So I have a hobby.

This thread is about the postcards of the Grand Ducal Family. Please stay on topic.

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Hmm...postcards and the country of Luxembourg...would there be any postcards of castles?

[KatieLouise]

Anyway, back to postcards... I really love old photos of royalty, especially from the less well-known families that one doesn't often get to see. There should be a thread in the forums exclusively for old pics.
