It was announced today:
At the invitation of Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess, His Excellency Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of the Republic of Singapore, and Mrs. Jane Ittogi Shanmugaratnam will pay a State Visit to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg from 27 to 28 March 2025.
 
Will the Grand Duchess actually go or will it be another solo visit?
 
So, the grand duke and grand duchess will still host state visits? I am understanding the meaning of appointing a 'lieutenant representative' less and less. At least, this weird 'cherry picking' by the current grand duke and grand duchess will end in October...
 
It does rather feel like it was announced to allow Henri and MT to enjoy a year of events without anyone bringing up the Waringo report or having it hanging over them as their exit is now clearly signposted.
Nothing really seems to have changed and Henri is still doing just as much as before it appears.
 
It will have tiaras ?
 
Maria Teresa and the Waringo report will be associated for ever as the Press invited for her complains towards HDH Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte.
I have friends in Luxebourg Staphanie is more popular than Maria Teresa.
 
The state visit has started with the official welcome ceremony this morning, March 27:






 
At least the President of Singapore didn't have that long of a journey having been in Belgium but a busy week of engagements!
 
YAY! I am excited to see the banquet this night. My only confusion is the (WAY TOO SPARKLY!) disco ball skirt worn by the Grand Duchess for the welcoming ceremony.
 
This evening, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Hereditary Grand Duchess hosted a gala dinner in honour of the Presidential Couple of Singapore.

The state visit ended with a farewell ceremony in the late afternoon:


 
Out of interest when does Stephanie get an upgrade of her order - she wears a different colour cash to her husband and the Grand Duke/Duchess? Will this happen at the abdication

Probably short before the abdication. Maria Teresa wore the Order of the Golden Lion at the abdication and swearing ceremony in 2000 the first time.
