He probably got the highlights in the sun, and he seems pretty famous for slicking back his hair to get a whole new look. :)
I guess we'll just have to trust the labelling on the picture! XD

I love Guillaume with glasses too! I wish there were new pictures of him wearing glasses - I think he'd look very intellectual with glasses and the beard. (And as for the car, I think if you look at the lips you can tell it's Guillaume. Even then the lips were quite a defining feature of his face :o )

In the new People magazine about the Oscars, there is an article about the richest royal families and Luxembourg is in it. I think the number they used was 4 billion...something around that number. They used a photo of Guillaume, the one that was used in Vanity Fair a few years ago of him in uniform. I guess more people will know about our man now - and how rich he is!

Thanks for the photos of Guillaume in something other than a suit.

I gues Guillaume wears contacts.

I think most of the family must. I've seen them all with glasses except Sebastien.

Okay I did some heavy duty looking at the pic of him in the car and compared it with a bunch of other pics from around the same general age and it's definitely him. I just never realized he had such beautiful eyelashes!!

Is Guillaume dating anybody seriously? And if so, are there pictures? Thank you.

I don't think we know of any serious girlfriend at the moment. I only know of Pia Haraldsen, but they dated years ago.

Has anyone interview with Guillaume? I never read interview with him.

gaggleofcrazypeople · #**970** 03-20-2006, 05:06 PM

I saw a short one on rtl for his bday. Other than that, not really.

What does the woman that Guillaume marries get styled as? What title is she given?

Her Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg.

HRH Mims · #**973** 03-28-2006, 10:29 AM

Guillaume is prince of Nassau and Parma too. Will be she a princess?

gaggleofcrazypeople · #**974** 03-28-2006, 05:46 PM

Technically yes, but she will be known as the hereditary grand duchess because that is a more prestigous title.

Actually, GD Jean gave up the title of Bourbon de Parma, so they are just Nassau, and yes, Guillaume's wife would be accorded the title Princess of Nassau as well.

gaggleofcrazypeople · #**976** 03-29-2006, 03:50 PM

But didn't Henri take that title back?

Yes he. It was given back to them once Henri became grand duke I believe.

Actually, that's not correct. I took this from the Luxembourg government site [translated it]:

The title of Prince of Parma was relenquished by Grand Duke Jean in 1995, but he and his relatives kept the style of Royal Highness.

So, they don't have the title Prince of Bourbon de Parma anymore. That title came from Prince Felix, the husband of Grand Duchess Charlotte, and it is also the reason that the Grand Ducal family members use the style of Royal Highness [otherwise, only the Grand Duke would be a Royal Highness, everyone else would be a Grand Ducal Highness].
All of the children [Guillaume, Felix, Louis, Alexandra, Sebastien] are listed as having the titles "Prince/ss of Luxembourg, Prince/ss of Nassau"- no Bourbon de Parma listed anywhere.
IIRC, the reason for this was that the head of the Royal House of Bourbon de Parma [who I assume is Carlos Hugo, Princess Irene of the Netherlands' ex-husband] did not like Henri marrying Maria Teresa for some reason or another, the families had a long and drawn-out fight about it. I guess Grand Duke Jean said the heck with it and gave up the title altogether just to shut the Duke of Bourbon de Parma up. :)

gaggleofcrazypeople · #**979** 03-30-2006, 09:14 PM

I've seen it before on other sites, though.

Kelly · #**980** 03-31-2006, 03:34 PM

Sorry about the incorrect info. I must have gotten confused with the title of Nassau. Because I remember there was one title that was taken away because of his marriage to Maria Theresa but he recovered when he came to be a grand duke.
