She always seems so fun and joyful.

She seems to have done excellent work and I love that we got to see her in Indian attire. A true people’s princess (and I’m not just saying that because I think she resembles Diana).

Day 2 of the mission has started:

Seeing Astrid and Märtha Louise together made me emotional because of the tragic fates of their namesake grandmas who were sisters

Speaking of Diana one thing Astrid shares in common with her besides looks is her advocacy for landmine survivors. She has advocated for the rights of landmine survivors and a global ban on landmines at UN meetings. She's such an amazing person

Has Lorenz ever accompanied his wife on her economic missions?

 

[Adda]

Yes, he has. But unlike most consorts, Prince Lorenz has a job of his own, so he only joins his wife on such missions if he can/want.

 

[meeralakshmi]

Yes, he has. But unlike most consorts, Prince Lorenz has a job of his own, so he only joins his wife on such missions if he can/want.

Which countries has he gone to?

 

[Adda]

Which countries has he gone to?

The United States and the United Kingdom, for example.

 

[meeralakshmi]

The United States and the United Kingdom, for example.

Oh I think I remember Lorenz celebrating his wife’s 60th birthday with her in Georgia.

The next economic mission will lead to the USA from October 4 - 12, 2025:

The Princess will represent His Majesty the King during the mission that will visit San Francisco and Los Angeles. (..)
