Luxarazzi: An Editor's Note Regarding Princess Tessy

Beautifully put...

[Marengo]

At TRF we do not intend to discontinue posting events of Tessy. It is likely that after her divorce we will give her a thread of her own, just as is the case with the countess of Frederiksborg. Having opinions & discussing them is what a discussion board is about.

[maria-olivia]

Luxarazzi are wise because we know anything about Prince Louis at that moment .

[Prisma]

I don't expect TRF to stop posting about Princess Tessy. I shared Luxarazzi post in case anyone wondered why the best blog on the GDF no longer reports on Tessy.

Has the press stipulated if Prince Gabriel and Prince Noah will spend any time at Christmas with their mother?

[marytessy]

I haven't read anything in the press and I suspect they're too busy crazing after Harry to report on Louis's family (though the hungry media will be at it soon). Regardless of what the press says/will say, it seems pretty clear to me through Tessy's instagram that they'll be spending Christmas with their mother.

The boys were last Christmas with Tessy on a long holiday in Florida, it would be logical that they spend this Christmas with their father.

Last Chrismas there was no Divorce Announcement.

No, but the couple had already separated (but it was not known) and people speculated about why Tessy and the boys were in Florida without Louis.

Tessy has posted to her Instagram, that when her sons are staying at Louis' home, she still has to read bedtime story to them via Skype.

I wonder what her 11- and 10-year old sons think about this, and have their friends heard that their mother still reads them bedtime stories. And everyone knows that Louis is dyslexic, is this some kind of dig to Louis?

[Prisma]

I don't think it's a dig at Louis. He got help for his dyslexia and if was still a huge issue, he probably wouldn't be pursuing a Master's degree.

Maybe bedtime stories is an activity Tessy always did while Louis has other activities with the boys. It's nice some traditions carry over to the new normal and Tessy should enjoy it while it lasts. Indeed, the boys will outgrow bedtime stories soon.

Did she use the words 'have to' as that would imply that Louis is failing. If she said that she made it a priority to read to her sons every night, even when they are with Louis the message would be quite different. In both cases I wonder whether their sons are happy about her sharing the information.

[HereditaryPrincess]

I am struggling to see how this could be a dig at Louis, but I do think that it is somewhat embarrassing for Gabriel and Noah that their mother shares this information about them. I hope Tessy is posting such photos with her son's consent. I know that I wouldn't be happy as a ten year old if my mother had publicly shared something personal and private like this.

I'm not really sure its appropriate she takes on such roles, for which she obviously receives some sort of payment, while still married. Can't she wait for the divorce to go through?

Heu... She needs money. She (and Prince Louis) have to earn their own living, as all their siblings. Only the Hereditary Grand-Duke has an allowance.

I can understand where you're coming from but I think Tessy's involvement with these sorts of things are fine. Even though she's no longer an official member of the GDF, many people still associate her as being "Princess Tessy" so in that respect she is a public (?) figure and can still represent charities and organisations associated with her role as princess.

She has a job... so, I would suppose that's how she earns money. Sidekicks to get more money because of your celebrity status as the estranged wife of a Luxembourgish prince is quite different and not as appropriate.

But this is a commercial product? I'm all for her supporting charities and charitable products but this seems to be a commercial product that benefits a company thus is fair tonassume Tessy is being made or receiving something for this endorsement (payment or benefits in kind). I don't think that is appropriate for someone still married into the family and still carrying HRH and Princess title. Of course she can have a job but one that uses her Royal connections to promote something so noticeably is wrong IMO.
Hopefully this isn't a sign of her future work, former Princess for hire a la Fergie?
