That's amazing...a choir made up of people 75-100 years old?!

Many residencies have senior citizens choirs; a long time ago my great-aunt decided to retire from her senior citizens choir because "all those people in their 70s might think she was getting too old"... (she was in her 90s at that time; passed away 20 years ago)

HGD Guillaume and HGD Stéphanie attended the opening of the "Art2Cure" exhibition in New York City on May 21:

[QueenJen]

I haven't been following the HGD couple for several months now and recent photos of Prince Guillaume make me wonder if he's become rather "portly." Is it the way he's standing, or clothing or angle of the photo, or am I seeing a bit of weight gain?

No criticism, especially not from me. Just wondering.

HRH Prince Guillaume and HRH Princess Stéphanie, Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, consul general of Luxembourg in New York, Hon Jeanne Crauser, and ambassador and permanent representative of Luxembourg to the UN, HE Christian Braun, were amongst the 250-300 people present: there to celebrate the work of thirteen artists, from Luxembourg and New York, but to also celebrate the union of two universities, Luxembourg and Columbia, in research.

[...]

Art2Cure is a non-for-profit organisation, founded in 2014, which marries art and science: artists get a platform for their work and half of the proceeds raised goes to biomedical research.

With Art2Cure launching in New York, half of the artists come from New York, half from Luxembourg. Of the money raised, half will go to the artists and half will go to Parkinson’s disease research. Half of this research money will be used by Colombia University in New York, half by the University of Luxembourg.

The HGD couple will move to London later this year for additional studies. More at Guillaume and Stéphanie to Move to London

 

[Marengo]

How original, at their age & in their position... I suppose it is not known yet how long they will stay away or what they will study.

 

[Prisma]

Their studies are in Luxarazzi's post: Guillaume's starting a post-graduate training course at the Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS) in September. Stephanie's studying art history at the Sotheby's Institute during their stay.

I did not find information on Guillaume and Stéphanie's trip to London on the website of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
