The topic of this thread are the current events of the HGD and HGDss. Let's focus on that and avoid speculation about what must be a rather sensative issue to those involved.
Further OT posts will be deleted without notice.

Does anyone know where the HGD&D are living in the UK?
What mission are they one to be away from their home ? is this a permanent change for them?

I think it's a year or two for HGD Gui to attend a school of some sort.

It's a one year military school (more specifically, post-graduate training course at the Royal College of Defence Studies) for Guillaume in London.
Stephanie is using her time to brush up on her art-related knowledge by taking art history courses at the Sotheby's Institute, which will serve her well in several of her patronages.

Is this the very reason why we are seeing Felix and Claire often in engagements with Gui and Steph and Henri and MT?

Not sure I fully I understand your question. Guillaume en Stephanie have clearly been less available for royal activities this year and we've seen Felix and Claire slightly more.
It makes sense to keep Felix and Claire in the picture because as things stand now they will be the 'second couple' when Guillaume becomes Grand Duke; and their daughter Amalia will be the Grand Duchess at some point (maybe Felix will be grand duke but I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't).

Hopefully we'll see more of Guillaume and Stephanie as their studies should be wrapping up soon.
Felix and Claire haven't had a significant increase in engagements. I'd say Alexandra has been seen more recently.

Yes Princess Alexandra has been seen in some engagements this year too. Such a lovely woman.

I hope Stephanie and Guillaume will have a kid who will be one of the next Grand Duke or Grand Duchess.

It seems less likely with each passing year....

We must not forget that it is tradition for monarchs to abdicate in Luxembourg. I believe that if Guillaume and Stephanie have no children (probably so) Princess Amalia will begin to be prepared as the future Grand Duchess, and consequently Felix and Claire will also be highlighted. But I believe that at this moment Guillaume and Stephanie have not given up hope of having a child.

Yes I am as well..but it could still happen. They are only in their mid/late 30's I think.

Even if they never have a child there is no reason for Felix and Claire to be highlighted over Guillaume and Stephanie. They can still serve the people of Luxembourg well and leave their own mark on it.
If it become clear Felix then Amalia are Gui's heirs they will obviously start becoming more prepared but let's not skip over the HGD couple and what they are, should or will be doing in the future entirely.
