What a splendid set of photos...the children are divine!
Has baby Prince Baltasar been baptized yet?

 

[Biri]

I assume there is no indication on when and where the christening/baptism is taking place... Amalia's baptism took place within a month, while Liam's took over 4 months. It seems they prefer either Spring or Summer i.e., nice weather, so I wouldn't be surprised if Balthazar is baptized sometime next month or in May (depending on the location).

Amalia:
Born: 15 June 2014; Grand Duchess Charlotte Maternity Hospital in Luxembourg
Baptized: 12 July 2014; Chapelle de Saint-Ferréol in Lorgues

Liam:
Born: 28 November 2016; Beaulieu General Clinic in Geneva
Baptized: 7 April 2017; Chapel of the Choir, St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City

Balthazar:
Born: 7 January 2024; Grand Duchess Charlotte Maternity Hospital in Luxembourg

Or maybe a double christening is planned? (i.e. Prince Balthazar and baby Bagory?), like in the case of August Brooksbank and Lucas Tindall in the UK?

Has little Balthazar been christened yet?

Two photos of Prince Liam were released to congratulate him on his birthday.

Prince Balthazar has dark hair like his sister Princess Amalia. Prince Liam's hair is lighter in color.

 

[IloveCP]

Balthazar will turn one on January 7 and he still has not been baptized? The same thing applies to his cousin Victoire Bagory who is almost 8 months old.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

It's possible that the babies were baptized at a private family event.

Alexandra and her husband seem like a particularly private couple, but also very devout. It wouldn't surprise me if Victoire was already baptized.

A lovely family greeting today (both in French and English):

Château les Crostes on Instagram: "Bonne année 2025! Ma femme, mes enfants et moi-même tenons à vous adresser nos meilleurs vœux pour cette nouvelle année. Que 2025 soit synonyme de réussite, de partage et de moments inoubliables. 🍷 Nous avons hâte

And judged from the clothes they are wearing - especially Balthazar's - the photo may have been taken during his baptism last summer.

 

[Alisa]

Prince Balthazar is sooo cute and chunky. He is all Maria-Teresa though.

 

[royaljul73]

I too think it's a photo from his christening. Beautiful!

For Balthazar's first birthday today, January 7, another yet unseen photo has been released:

That’s a rather unusual picture for a birthday.

According to the website monarchie.lu, Prince Felix has been living with his family in Frankfurt in Germany since 2018.

 

[maria-olivia]

And since 2018 , was is the Prince doing ?

 

[hereditarytitles]

And since 2018 , was is the Prince doing ?

The last thing I read was that the family lives in Geneva. Felix doesn't have to work because he married a very rich German woman. They had started a children's clothing company some time ago. Nothing more has been heard about that. The vineyard and manor house in the south of France belongs to Claire's rich parents and is managed by stewards.
I think the family lives off the assets of the German in-laws. If they're happy with that, then so be it. There are other examples of royals or non-royals who don't need a job because of their wealth. Some people are happy living the life of leisure and some are not, having other ambitions in life.
It's a very comfortable choice you have if you don't have to work for a living.

 

[royaljul73]

This information was new to me - until now I thought they lived at Chateau de Crostes in France managing the vineyard there. But as they are indeed in the comfortable situation not to have to work for their liviingthey can do as they like. Maybe they are dividing their time between different residences, who knows ...

 

[hereditarytitles]

According to the website monarchie.lu, Prince Felix has been living with his family in Frankfurt in Germany since 2018.

That's right, I couldn't find any other information. Maybe the move to Geneva which I read in a tabloid some time ago was not valid. But they moved from France to Germany in 2018, maybe for reasons of schools for their children and to be closer to Claire's family which also lives in the Frankfurt area.

The wine shop will start selling Chateau Les Crostes’ Rosé, which it describes as having fresh tones of red fruity with subtle minerality.
