Royal pregnancies are often announced at the 12-week mark when the rate for miscarriage drops significantly. If that is the case, since Claire's pregnancy was announced on July 13, the baby would be due around January 25, 2024 Stephanie's last pregnancy was announced on September 29, 2022 and...

Instagram post from Leonor's cousin Victoria de Marichalar, daughter of the Infanta Elena. She did not attend the party due to an engagement in Peru. "Today is a great day for you and for Spain. I'm sure you'll become a great queen. I'm so proud of you. Happy birthday!"...

"Amalia" has a history in the Nassau family such that it was an appropriate name for the next generation's heir at the time, so not just trendy. "Liam" is an Irish name but originates from the influences of Germanic Willahelm and French Guillaume, a common name for Luxembourg royals. Liam is...

Maria Teresa has had several surgeries over the years on her legs. (For example, 2019 knee surgery right before the Belgium state visit.) If you see videos of her walking, she limps a bit. I've been wondering if she has to wear a leg brace of some sort. Thus, the need for pants at both...

Yes, young Prince Charles is named (partly) after his great-great uncle, according to Guillaume in this RTL interview from September 2020. As to the history behind the baby prince's name: Charles Jean-Philippe Joseph Marie-Guillaume. He was named for his great-great uncle and for his...

Princess Alexandra's godparents were seen in photos attending the wedding. Her godfather, Prince Michel de Ligne, was there with his wife Princess Eleonora of Orléans-Braganza. Prince Michel and Grand Duke Henri are first cousins. Her godmother, Archduchess Maria-Anna of Austria, was in...

Guillaume's sister, Princess Alexandra, age 32, is getting married in April. I would guess that she might be the next royal to have a baby. Both she and her fiancé are from larger families, so they may follow suit. And then, there is their brother, Prince Sebastien, who at age 30 is not yet...

Prince Wenceslas François Baudoin Léopold Juraj Marie Marc d'Aviano de Nassau was named after his maternal grandfather, François Vestur, so not a royal Luxembourg connection. Not sure why Prince Robert Louis François was given the name, other than the fact that his mother, Joan Dillon's...

François Henri Luis Marie Guillaume "François" surprises me with no recent royal reference, yet it is nice to have a unique name after all the family members named "Jean" and Guillaume." Lovely that "Henri" was included since the Grand Duke's name was left out the first time. I assume that...

Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg will be getting married next month. The court has announced that the bride and groom's families will attend the civil ceremony at 3:30 p.m., which it previously shared will take place at the Town Hall of the City of Luxembourg on April 22, 2023. After the...

In addition to the children, Claire and Felix had six adult bridesmaids and six adult groomsmen at their church ceremony, including Princess Alexandra and Prince Sebastien. The bridesmaids wore a pale blue chiffon and lace gown designed by Tadashi Shoji.

His father, HRH Alfonso Duke of Cadiz, was engaged to Constanza of Austria at the time of his passing. Was the engagement public knowledge prior to his death? When Constanza went on to marry Franz Josef Auersperg-Trautson, Luis Alfonso was an attendant at her wedding. So apparently, LA...

I can't remember a time when Prince Jean attended an official engagement such as this.

„Lilly zu Sayn-Wittgenstein: “Alexander and I went through ups & downs” ... (..) Lilly zu Sayn-Wittgenstein gets along very well with the new wife at the side of her ex-husband. She also likes to refer to the native Iranian as a “friend”, about whom she raves in the highest tones: “She is an...

In 2015, the royal court explained that "the Grand Duchess suffers from an acute fear of flying, also known as aviophobia, which she has been unable to overcome." Going off to Austria or Italy for a weekend would make for a long drive or train ride. That said, I don't understand how she...

This was the first reunion of the whole family since the start of the Covid-19 crisis. ??

We called them mother/daughter dresses, back in the day. Prince Guillaume and baby Charles are also wearing a matching blue outfit in the photo where they are wading by the sea.

Tessy published her new name on Instagram today: Excited to announce that my husband and I are launching our couple @zoom_o_clock sessions on timely events and topics in August. It will be called: “Tessy Antony-De Nassau Floessel’s Zoom O’Clock : Man and Woman - let’s talk differences of...

When Prince Jean remarried, the only family member who attended his wedding was his brother, Prince Guillaume. I assume that this means that the royal family disapproved of his marriage to Diane, for some reason. Not sure why Diane would only be Countess of Nassau. Will the same hold true...

History repeats itself, as their mother, Princess Margaretha of Luxembourg, was married on March 20, 1982, just weeks after her own sister, Princess Marie-Astrid, married on February 5, 1982.

I am sure that Tessy's social media account did not help matters any. Regarding the family's relationship with Jean's first wife, Helene, it seems to me that it is at the expense of Jean's second wife, Diane. What is that about?

Pablo Nicolás Sebastián de Todos los Santos Urdangarín de Borbón was born on 6 December 2000. He was named after his great-grandfather, King Paul of Greece. His middle name, Nicolás, is in honor of the saint day of his birth, 6 December, Saint Nicholas. His second middle name is in honor...

French-Luxembourgish journalist and royal supporter Stephane Bern said last year that he thought Grand Duke Henri would not abdicate until he turned 70 years old in 2025.

Maria Teresa rarely accompanies Henri to this annual event for German-speaking heads of state, even before she bought a home in Biarritz. I don't like it either. Here is her track record: 2021 Germany........MT does not attend 2019 Austria...........MT does not attend 2018 Switzerland....MT...

No, she wasn't involved last year either. I believe that MT is not allowed to attend this ceremony. Henri is under Bettel's thumb and he and his cronies are escorting Henri through National Day as if he is their puppet. It is very concerning for the future of the monarchy. This year again, the...
