Postcards and Stamps of the Grand Ducal Family

I wanted to make a thread so that we may post postcards of the Grand Ducal Family members. Including the Grand Dukes sisters and brother.

Please post all that you may find....

I am posting (right now) so that I have found on Ebay while looking for some to purchase.

Have fun!

Thought that I would quickly throw these in, although not postcards, they are postage . Grand Duchess Charlotte.

I have some of Grand Duke Henri and Maria-Teresa at the celebration of their wedding on leaflets (stamps) and also some with the three Princes (Guillaume - Felix-Louis), I just don't know how to scan them right now, my scanner is messed up!

 

[Beate]

Thanks for posting these wonderful pics ! They sure brought back some memories. I had a big scrapbook about the family in the eighties but my mom somehow misplaced them..

The child with Jean is definitely Princess Marie-Astrid! She was an adorable toddler.
In one of my books I have one pic of the birth of Prince Louis. I'll post it later on in the evening..

Do you have any pics of Alexandra when she was born? I have enver seen any pics of her when she was a baby.

 

[USCtrojan]

Beate,

I am glad to see that ALMAB and myself arn't the only ones on the same page when it comes to the Luxembourg Royals. I would love to see the pic you have of Louis birth. I have yet to see any postcards/pics of Alexandra and Sebastian's birth. I do remember Corbis having some of Prince Sebastian.... I will post them in another thread.

Thank You again,

Chanel

 

[Beate]

I am looking forward to more pics and I will scan the pic very soon..

Yes, I always liked the Luxembourg family!

 

[Beate]

Here we go!! Hope this works..

I also have two nice pics from a book called L'Annee Princiere of Marie-Astrid being pregnant with Imre and then holding the newborn baby. SInce this forum is so huge I am not sure whether or not it has been posted yet..

A big interest in the Lux Royal Family in Austrailia huh? How cool! I am sure that there is more of an interest in the Danish Royal Family now that Mary Donaldson is not CP Mary of Denmark.... I am not sure how they are distributed. I wish I knew myself! Sweden is big on the postcard thing too!

Wait, why do Australians care about Luxembourg?

lol i'm quoting myself..rather sad indeed but i forgot to ass a word before 'interest' that word being 'NO' hahahahaha so what i meant was that there is no interest in royal families in Australia...not as big as there is in Europe and stuff...so yeah...sorry about the mistake hahaha

This thread is about the postcards of the Grand Ducal Family. Please stay on topic.

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Hmm...postcards and the country of Luxembourg...would there be any postcards of castles?

 

[KatieLouise]

Anyway, back to postcards... I really love old photos of royalty, especially from the less well-known families that one doesn't often get to see. There should be a thread in the forums exclusively for old pics.

Luxembourg's Euro coins with the strike of Grand Duke Henri

There are 8 euro coins denominated in 2 and 1 euros, then 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 cents. Every euro coin carries a common European face. On the obverse, each Member State l decorate the coins with their own motifs. No matter which motif is on the coins they can be used anywhere inside the 12 Member States. For example, a French citizen is able to buy a hot dog in Berlin using a euro coin carrying the imprint of the King of Spain. The common European face of the coins represents a map of the European Union against a background of transverse lines to which are attached the stars of the European flag. The 1, 2, and 5 cent coins put emphasis on Europe's place in the world while the 10, 20, and 50 present the Union as a gathering of nations. The 1 and 2 euro coins depict Europe without frontiers. Final designs were agreed at the European Council meeting in Amsterdam in June 1997.

Luxembourg's Euro coins with the strike of Grand Duke Henri

My friend kindly sent me some Euro coins and they were really cool to see. Most of them are Belgian with King Albert II on the back, but there's a 5 cent coin from Luxembourg. They're very different to the coins we have in Australia. Drimal, I am adding a new picture to your previous collection.

The design of a new 2 euro coin shows the portraits of Luxembourg's Grand Duke Henri and Belgian King Albert II
The design of a new 2 euro coin, provided by the Belgian mint in Brussels, December 22, 2004, shows the portraits of Luxembourg's Grand Duke Henri (L) and Belgian King Albert II (R).

Here is Luxembourg's money with Grand-Duke Jean on it.

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

That doesn't really look like him.

 

[msfroyste]

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

They have different noses, though.

Ooold stuff

Hi folks,

looking for something else, I found this link. It's remotely related and I think just interesting. There are some old postcards and photos from Luxembourg, including of the royal recidences.
