I'm happy that you enjoy my beautiful photos. Well my nationality is Luxembourger and I'm a great fan of all members of the Grand Ducal family of Luxembourg. So I collected since several years many photos of them. I searched them on the internet and it was sometimes very difficult to find the respective images. But now I have a large collection:) .

I would tend to agree ..... her husband looked pretty young on his wedding day, and has worn his age well ... all to the disadvantage of his spouse, Marie-Astrid.

Prince Imre has a Hungarain name similar to old german Amalrich meaning one of Eastgothic kings, the Amaler
Prince Christoph's name is Greek and means porter of Christus
Prince Alexander's name is also Greek and means the defender
