I have a question for those who have more knowledge of the relationship than I. If Maria Teresa spends all of her time in France, and I assume GD Henri has obligations in Luxembourg - are they then effectively separated or leading separate lives? Or does GD Henri not have a lot of duties inside Luxembourg?

My understanding is that the Grand Duke commutes to Paris or Biarritz regularly to be with his wife. The G-Duchess also spends time in Luxembourg, but rarely conducts public engagements now, unless they are in support of the charities or causes she supports.

MT talked about how the Biarritz apartment would be for her and Henri's "eventual retirement" or something like that so I think they are still together and plan to be so for the future. I use to hear that MT lived mainly in Paris in their apartment which is now used by Alexandra and Louis so it may simply be a continuation of how their life has always been but now MT doesn't do public duties she has more time to be out the country.
