No hat, no gloves, in pantalon, and that for a State Visit, the highest protocollary level possible.

I can't recall the last time I saw Grand Duchess Maria Teresa wearing a hat and not even for her late father in laws funeral.

 

[Duc_et_Pair]

When Belgian and Dutch royals visited Luxembourg or when Maria Teresa visited Belgium and the Netherlands, hats are de rigueur:

With Beatrix

With Máxima

Etc.

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa is trying look more cool ,hip and trendy now

 

[Tatiana Maria]

It must be a very special visit for the large Portuguese population of Luxembourg.

I wonder why Prince Liam is involved as it is unlikely he will ever play an official role for the monarchy.

Was there any reason as to why Grand Duchess Maria Teresa was not wearing any orders last night or was HRH not given a Portuguese order?

 

[wartenberg7]

Was there any reason as to why Grand Duchess Maria Teresa was not wearing any orders last night or was HRH not given a Portuguese order?

Wondering, too. Even if she didn´t (what I do not believe) she would have worn her own luxembourg decorations!

I think she had a small ribbon and order on her right side.

Seems she did herown thing like not wearing an Hat for the funeral of her father-in-law for example.

GDMT is too hip and cool for orders and protocol it seems

She always followed protocol, at least that's my perception. She probably didn't use orders for some reason we don't know.

 

[maria-olivia]

In Luxembourg She wore the Sash from right to left perhaps she could not fix it on her black Dress ?
The Duchess of Braganza was the only one to wear a pink Sash

 

[mybags]

Looks to me like she received the Order of Merit. The arrival video shows both her and the Grand Duke receiving orders.

GDMT used to follow protocol see below

Not wearing the Portuguese Orders at a State Visit Gala in Portugal is very bad manners.

When you receive an Order , you have to wear it ! A great faux pas !

 

[Mbruno]

The Duchess of Braganza was the only one to wear a pink Sash

I think the pink sash is the Order of Saint Isabel, which is a female order of the House of Braganza. It is not an order of the Portuguese Republic.

The Duchess of Braganza is the Grand Mistress of the order.

Well observed! ?

So the Braganças are accorded a semi-official role similar to the Romanian situation?
