Tessy Antony-de Nassau, News and Events 2: Jan 2022 -


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
I would be interested to know how someone whose main language is English would assess this text. To me, everything she writes is rather exaggerated and confusing gibberish. But maybe that's what you have to do these days to promote your product? By the way, she makes lots of mistakes, although I thought that having lived most of her life in London she could have done better.
My primary language is English and most of what she says is very bad word salad.

It’s rather sad that she has nobody in her life to help her. But I guess if you block people (I imagine in real as well as virtual life) who disagree or question you all you have left are sycophants that tell you that you are flawless.
 
English is my main language and this makes so little sense to me it sounds like a bad AI job. It seems like she has taken a number of key messages and lines she wants to include - e.g. "locally anchored, internationally inspired" and just put other words around them. It is really awfully written.

It reminds me of “mad libs”.
 
That PR blurb is one of the longest, most ridiculous, most incoherent word vomit exercises I've ever read.

And I say that as someone who tries to find the good in everything. I hope this is a terrible case of something being lost in translation, because she comes across as absolutely insufferable.

You forgot “self aggrandizing”.
 
Tessy of course had alot to say about Luxembourg new Grand Duke and Grand Duchess.


I cringed at the "as a former princess of this wonderful nation" comment. Must she always remind us she once was a princess?!?!

She is hoping to be invited to occasional State dinners or to summer holidays in the South of France with her sons?

She might be trying- à la Sarah Ferguson- to curry favor with the new regime now that her nemesis Maria Teresa is no longer in charge.

Years ago in the aftermath of her nasty divorce from Louis I remember reading a comment Tessy made that Stéphanie and the late Grand Duke Jean had been the two family members who had consistently treated her with kindness during her marriage to Louis.

Make of that what you will. I personally believe she is looking for a way back into Royal good graces via her good relationship with Stéphanie and likely Guillaume.🙄

ETA:..."I Was Once A Princess" sounds like the title of her inevitable memoirs.🤣
 
I totally forgot about Tessy. I remember either in this forum or maybe another one the intense discussion when they got married in a baby's on it's way rush. Always thought they would last forever.

MT might not be around patrolling the palace and that's the hint why Tessy "I Was Once A Princess" is surfacing up for air. But her former brother-in-law knows her well and I doubt he and his Grand Duchess wife are going to swing the palace doors open to get that walking typo mess back inside.

Still, "I Was Once A Princess" sounds like a great concept for a Netflix series.

I always assumed that Tessy and her mother-in-law would have a natural affinity for one another, being commoner marrying into the Lux Royal house and in fact MT said this was the case (before the divorce)

Nothing could have been more wrong. MT was an upper class commoner with all that implies. Tessy was lower middle class. And I have always wondered if MT doesn't secretly resent Tessy for "trapping" her teenage son as some mothers tend to do in situations like the one Tessy and Louis were in.

Not to mention that both women seem to have strong streaks of narcissism...they were destined to clash with one another eventually.
 
I’d say Stephanie is the kind of person who is kind to everyone. At the same time, she is very much old nobility in her ways which is diametrically opposite the way Tessy behaves.

GD Stephanie knows fake intentions a mile away. She seems to be extremely nice and polite but let's not think for a moment she's not aware on the Tessy drama, and last thing she wants is auntie Tessie anywhere her family. I'm starting to think despite her smile she will fiercely protect her Gran Dule husband and kids from any external issues auntie Tessie is thinking or scheming.

MT might no longer be perched at the gates, gargoyle of Notre Dame style, to keep her drama outside but Stephanie's patience is not to be tested by Tessie's AI generated "I Was Once A Princess" memorandums. That drama stays out.
 
Posting this here as to not spam Louis' board:

For someone that loves to claim she's "a proud feminist" and "wants equal rights", Tessy not paying her models and video/photographer is not only hypocritical and embarrassing — she's just taking advantage of these poor individuals. If this happened to her, she would cry about it and post it on Instagram, like she has done for years. Unlike big fashion brands who gift the clothes and accessories to the models (some get paid too), these people did not receive anything for hours of work. I wonder if she's ever tried to gift any of the Luxembourg/de Nassau women her clothes.

I saw photos of her new collection — the clothes were wrinkled and nothing original. Afterwards, she posted stories of her partying and celebrating. If you can afford a post show celebration, you certainly can afford to the models and other people who helped out. I wonder if this business of hers is making any money or if it's like Victoria Beckham's earlier on, losing money every day (thankfully, VB has now turned a profit).

Another funny thing she's recently posted about is this place in Switzerland and she wants to "donate her books to them" — only she's not donating her books out of the goodness of her heart — no, she wants someone to buy the books and she donates it to this place. Why doesn't she just donate the books and write it off? Or just donate!

Regarding this Peace Award — just embarrassing all around. Does Tessy and her family know anything about the Philippines? I take great offense to this as someone who is half Filipino. People like Tessy love to take advantage of the kindness and naivety of Filipinos — using people who live in a third world country, thanks to the corrupt government and their families, for their "Humanitarian work and image." I'm also side eyeing whoever created this award in the first place because Jose Rizal would be laughing and turning in his grave. I actually haven't found anyone associated to be Filipino! I can guarantee you Tessy wouldn't be able to answer simple questions about Jose Rizal and the Philippines. She's never showed any interest in the Philippines besides this questionable award. In fact, one of the first things she posted after her initial visit to the Philippines, was how dirty it was and how backwards it was that divorce is not legal there (paraphrasing the second part).

TL;Dr she only cares about the Philippines and Filipinos when it serves her. Just like with Louis and his family.

Please, don't give her any ideas. Next thing we know she's trying to sell this story to a network or a publisher 😭

I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to write another book about her life, her Princess days, her work, or a tell all.

The next time we see her with her former in laws entirely, will probably at Gabriel and Noah's weddings. Tessy will never have a relationship with her former in laws like Helene (Prince Jean's ex wife) does.
 
Tessy has recently gained a new advocate, Prince Mario Max von Schaumburg-Lippe, who praises her in excessively positive terms on his sm account "News Today World ". I wonder what favour he expects in return.
 
She knows a lot about what happened with the Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and her staff. She has to remain silent because of the privileges for her Sons. (education and house in London. )
Grand Duchess Stephanie does not know her.

Do you think Tessy has any clue that reposting stuff from this "royal" (by adult adoption) makes her look fake?

She has absolutely no awareness of what's fake, embarrassing, or a lie. The sheer volume of the same photos of herself and the constant self-aggrandizement are conspicuous enough. She doesn't question what's behind these honors and knighthoods she's so proud of. The main thing is that she can give speeches at gala events and be the center of attention. And if there are still followers who refer to her as Her Royal Highness or Princess—and there are—she has no qualms about posting about it extensively.

But she also has plenty of fans friends and even family members who are not critical. I suppose there's some kind of parallel world of C-list celebrities where these people honor and praise themselves, and stick together. The latest addition is Prince Mario Max, who now reports on her and her sons almost daily. But, as I said before, she finds herself in like-minded company.

Hopefully, she will time herself out. The longer she’s a “former princess” the less interest there is in her.

The clothing lines will succeed or fail on its own merits. The same for her books.

I just hope her older sons don’t ruin their reputation supporting her in her next venture.
 
"Channeling my Nigerian Queen energy"

oh Tessy :rolleyes:
I saw that too. Now I feel sorry for her husband and young child. On Monday, she traveled to Puglia for what was actually a rather unimportant event, but it also involved the catwalk and fashion. That's understandable, since she hoped to make contacts for her fashion label. Two days later, she flies to Nigeria for a "summit" that has absolutely nothing to do with her focus on fashion. A rather obscure event in Lagos, where she was probably invited, under the banner of "Founder of Professors without Borders," "UNAIDS," blah blah blah.

What she conveniently omits is that she was kicked out of this "PWB" NGO two years ago because the people who actually do the work realized she was only using the institution to promote herself.

I'm amazed by this woman's incredible energy—traveling the world for days on end, leaving her child and husband at home alone, and then constantly complaining about how women who want to start their own businesses don't receive support from their families.

Wow, this woman should be so glad she's met such a kind-hearted man again, one who accepts her constant ego trip and goes along with everything.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for working parents sharing childcare and household chores, but she's really taking it to the extreme!
 
I really feel so sorry for her. Nobody is in her life to edit her and she thinks she is always right. Shes so thin skinned that anyone that might have advised her would have backed off long ago.

Tessy, I know you lurk here. Please find someone to look over your posts and ask if you should tone it down. Someone with pr experience that you pay. Not a sycophant.

Maybe ask them to edit your bio too.

When people are humble other people tend to like them. When they puff themselves up people start to dislike them.

I don't feel sorry for her at all; I feel sorry for the people closest to her—her husband, children, friends, parents, and so on. They all seem to agree with her and support her. Her follower count keeps growing, which only encourages her to continue as before. And if someone dares to disagree or criticize her, they get deleted. Or, she posts all those "words of wisdom" from the internet to reinforce her own opinions.

I certainly believe she can come across as very friendly, emotional, and likeable. People who might want to pursue a career in her field fall for it. She surrounds herself with women who are also struggling to establish themselves as a business woman and she encourages them.

But, and that is what I despise so much. She married into the royal family of Lux, because she got pregnant by a son that was just 18 years old. The family wasn't delighted, understandable, but they provided everything for the young couple, education, housing etc. So, what did she achieve, except her military career, lasting 4 years? Nothing, all soldiers that served in the Lux military got the rank of "corporal" and a medal. Nothing to boast about, but she is constantly blowing it up as if she had been a chief military.

And then, the divorce, which was an ugly one, trying to get as much money out of the family as possible. The separation was announced in 2016, as early as 2017 the first photos with her present husband were published. And again, a man with money who most probably pays for most of it.
This woman cannot claim anything about how difficult it is for women raising children, she never had to, she never had to work, she was always sponsored by somebody.
What makes me so angry is that she received everything as a gift; her family made it all possible—her education, university studies, alimony, house, and so on—and then she wants even more money from them in the divorce. Shortly after, she meets another man, not as rich as Louis, but still very well-off, who then provides everything for her again. This woman, who supposedly champions women's emancipation, only achieved everything herself by marrying rich men.

It makes me so furious, maybe because I raised my first child all by myself, without support from the father , the government or any rich relatives. I worked and my job was very demanding and the problems to solve were not always easy. But I earned my own money to support my child, and don't let me tell from such a narcissistic spoiled woman how unfair it is with equal rights.
It's telling that her stepdaughter and her new husband's family have cut off all contact with her. You can see that on social media, and she doesn't mention them anymore. Except—and I always find this outrageous—when she then publicly claims she had to manage the move to the new apartment alone with FOUR children. What?! Her two adult sons are at university or boarding school, and her stepdaughter lives in the USA. The move took place while she was in Florida for a fashion show and was out partying with her buxom friend in the evenings.

It's all so false and a complete lie.
The case is hopeless and will remain so as long as she receives support from family members, tabloids, and even reputable newspapers in Luxembourg.

Of course, I feel more sorry for her children. Her husband and friends are there by choice.

Her army career? She was pregnant a year into her contract. Then she had a second baby. How much time was her maternity leave? Two out of four years? And what was she doing for the other year? Attending royal functions?

Getting two degrees is admirable. Having them paid for by the Lux royal family with every other possible expense paid for? Well, its not like she put herself through school with hard work and/or scholarships. Its still an accomplishment.

The move to the apartment was interesting. I dont think her pity party was really about moving with four "children". I think it was because she had to downsize severely. If you look at the pictures of her apartment in her instagram its very "bleh". Its a very utilitarian place with IKEA grade furnishing She's only a few years away from losing access to the London mews house.

Her consulting business has failed. Her podcast failed. Her television job ended. Her children's books aren't best sellers. Her fashion partner jumped ship. PWOB asked her to step down.

She hasn't really accomplished anything.

I do feel sorry for her because she could have had a solid career in the non profit world. She had a very good job she just quit during her divorce. Now she's failing right and left while shaking her ass and pouting her lips. At forty. As a woman who is attractive but was never model material.

I do agree that she keeps desperately trying to project an image thats absurd. I think she getting less and less attention and that makes her post more. She's been reduced to shilling "Old El Paso" taco mix.

Its like watching a slow motion train wreck.
 
I agree with you on most points. I was also surprised at the time that she gave up her good job in London. However, I remember that she didn't get along with her female boss. Even though Tessy always talks so enthusiastically about "We women have to stick together," I think she has issues with having a woman as boss, if not fundamental issues with not being CEO herself. Which, of course, she is now!
If she were to focus all her energy on one thing and do it well, she might be successful. But she wants to be involved in everything and would ideally just like to attend galas, accept awards, and be in the public eye. One has to admire her enthusiasm and perseverance, though. But she does have a husband who supports her.
In case you're interested: The new apartment, which was surely bought or rented by her husband, is definitely not a step down. Since I have relatives in Zurich, I know the area a bit and, because she posts many photos of the surroundings, I found out where the building is located.

In Zurich, there's the so-called "Gold Coast," named for its wealthy residents and high tax revenues. Multimillionaires live in the large villas right on the lake; for example, Tina Turner and her German husband lived there for decades. Further south, it's still an expensive residential area, but more for the upper middle class.

The new apartment is located there and overlooks Lake Zurich, which alone makes it expensive. The building contains four apartments, measuring 2,206, 2,850, and 3,980 square feet and all of them have huge terraces with lake view. Based on the photos, I suspect they moved into the 2,850-square-foot apartment. The rent is around $10,295 USD per month! The last apartment in the building sold for CHF 2,500,000, which is $3,101,075 USD. I got this information in a real estate listing. Switzerland, and Zurich in particular, is very, very expensive.

Their previous apartment was also in the area, but quite far from the lake. Therefore, I think they've definitely improved their living situation. A 100 sq m (1076 ft) terrace with a lake view is something special. Some people would be happy to have a 100 sq m apartment.

I don't know what their living situation was like when she was married to Louis; I don't think they lived in a castle. The house in London is difficult to identify, as she hasn't released any photos of it. Her ex inlaws likely wouldn't have allowed that. However, based on occasional glimpses inside or into the garden, it appears to be a terraced house in Kensington. It's certainly not a large villa.
As you know she can use it until both sons have university degrees, which will certainly take another five or six years.

My mistake. The apartment looked so very basic that I mistook it for middle class housing. It is certainly not furnished nicely.

I imagine during her marriage to Louis they lived in nice apartments as they pursued their education in the US and UK. The mews house probably cost 3-6 million pounds and is probably not nicely decorated if Tessy didn’t up.

Her husband seems to be reasonably successful but I doubt his success is anywhere near the wealth that Prince Louis could access.

Her husband is also smart to keep her in a rental. If the marriage ends, less marital assets to divide.
