Claire looks great. That dress compliments her.

I think so too; generaly speeking Claire is quiet well dres with a lot of taste and a little bite originality.

I also think it's strange.The Saturday program is far from tight to allow nursing breaks.

But as Kwanfan said it's good to know that the "reason" isn't due to illness.

Elena looks gorgeous as usual. Good to see her and her husband stepping out, I like them both.

My favorite dress so far is Maria Teresa's. It is truly beautiful.

Infanta Elena and her husband. I Don't think Letizia or Felipe are coming.

Your are right, it's strange because I didn't see their name on the official guet list of the GD.

What does mean ? I have tosay that I'm a little bite anxious

Elena wear a beatiful dress of Oscar de la Renta, she is repeating with succes this beautiful dress.

Thank you for the pictures so far everyone!

It seems like we are getting lots of new gowns: Maria Teresa, Alexandra and Mathilde. Hopefully we'll see new gowns on the other royal ladies, too!

Are Felipe and Letizia in Luxemburgo? Is strange,the Dukes of Lugo are in Luxemburgo. I´m thinking the princes aren´t and if this is true is strange because they haven´t been with the other royals in many acts.

 

[Alisa]

My first thought was Count Franz Clemens looked very handsome

Over all I think everyone looks great, especially Princess Claire and Princess Alexandra.

Wao, that dress looks great on her. She looks stunning.

 

[Maxie]

I think that Maria-Teresa, Alexandra, Claire and Elena are looking really gorgeous. Not too sure about Mathilde, though. It looks like a giant tutu, it looks like she can enter the Swan Lake ballet any moment. A classic princess indeed.

 

[Alisa]

I'm surprised about Infanta Elena's presence.She wasn't on the official guestlist, has she replaced Felipe and Letizia?

 

[lis]

I hope not but it seems so

 

[Heiress Victoria]

hahahaha... mathilde looks just like barbie in the swan lake.. tight hair, the make up and that huge dress makes her look like a little doll..

 

[Ariel]

Well, maybe they couldnt make it and asked Elena and her husband to take their place. According to Felipe, they were supposed to be there. It is also strange that Mette Marit didnt make it. And I havent seen pictures of Fredrick, Mary and Albert either. Anyone from the british family?

 

[mybags]

I just think Elena looks so beautiful tonight...

[Maxie]

I think we just have to wait a little longer. I also haven't seen any pics of Willem-Alexander and Maxima yet. That's a pity, because I'm off to bed now. Let's see what tomorrow will bring us!

 

[Zonk]

Elena looks great! So far I am impressed by all of the ladies. I even like Mathilde's. Alexandra of Luxembourg looks lovely. How can we get her talking to Beatrice and Eugenie OMG....I just saw the picture of Anne..she looks fabulous!

Like many I am curious why Felipe and Letizia don't attend events outside of Spain. Yes, I realize that the King and Queen represent Spain on many of these occassions...but it does seem strange.

The Grand Duchess has looked lovely on both nights! Happy Anniversary to them both

The reason Mette-Marit didn't make it is that she is still nursing and it was felt that traveling to Luxembourg this month along with the other travels (Thailand, all over Norway for the Crowning journey) would be too much for Sverre Magnus.
