[Luxembourg] National Day Celebrations for 2011

Sébastien, Alexandra, Guillaume, Maria-Teresa, Henri, Louis and Tessy. But where is Félix?

June 23rd is Luxembourg’s National Day and the official birthday of the Grand Duke. The day also commemorates the birth of the greatest ruler of Luxembourg, the Grand Duchess Charlotte. She was actually born on January 23, 1896, but the celebrations were shifted to June for more favorable weather.

On the eve of the National Day, a torchlight procession lights the streets starting at 10 in the evening. A spectacular fireworks display is held in the Petrusse Valley. A mass is often held at the cathedral as well. After the fireworks, the city of Luxembourg City turns into a massive party with waffles, sausages, beer, music, and dancing in the streets. On the actual National Day itself, official ceremonies, military parades, and a 101 canon salute are held.

As Guillaume is still unmarried, we often see his sister with him.

[The Netherlands] Princess Maxima's 40th royal birthday concert - The Norwegians

We see Martha-Louise so little that I tend to forget how beautiful she is.

Yummy Crown Prince Haakon. Wifeless for this event.
Things I didn't forget about Martha-Louise: she still has the most gorgeous husband in town!

How old are the European Hereditary & Crown Princes and Crown Princesses?



Belgium
Princess Mathilde is 38. Her husband, the Duke of Brabant, turned 51 last month.


Denmark
Crown Prince Frederik will turn 43 at the end of the month. His wife Princess Mary is 39.

Liechtenstein
Alois, the Hereditary Prince, is 42. His wife Sophie, the former Duchess of Bavaria, is 43.


Luxembourg
Guillaume, the Hereditary Grand Duke (HGD) is 29. And single.


Monaco
Well... complicated situation, but as PA2 still has no legitimate children, his older sister, Caroline of Monaco, Princess of Hanover, is the Hereditary Princess. She is 54. And now that I am thinking about it, the next regent of Monaco will be really young, if we consider Charlene gets pregnant in the 3 years. Okay, let's not plan ahead.


The Netherlands
This post is a bit dedicated to her, as tomorrow, Princess Maxima is turning 40. Her husband, the Prince of Orange, just turned 44.


Norway
Both Crown Prince Haakon and Princess Mette-Marit, born a month apart, are 37. What a synchrony those two!


United Kingdom
The Duchess of Cornwall is 63. Her husband, the Prince of Wales is 62.


Spain
Doña Letizia is 38. Her husband, the Prince of Asturias, is 43.


Sweden
Our unique born-Crown Princess is 33. Prince Daniel is 37.


If we rank them by age, the girls would be:
Victoria, 33
Mette-Marit, 37
Mathilde, 38
Letizia, 38
Mary, 39
Maxima, 40
Sophie, 43
Caroline, 54
Camilla, 63


The boys would be:
Guillaume, 29
Daniel, 37
Haakon, 37
Alois, 42
Frederik, 43
Felipe, 43
Willem-Alexander, 44
Philippe, 51
Charles, 62
