    This past summer in August, I was part of the 1st tour group to tour the Luxembourg Royal Palace' Bad Huis/stables for their horses. Out of all the royal palaces I toured from Norway, Sweden, Finland, (no royal palace only the Presidential home which was closed) Denmark, Prague, Cardiff and London, the Royal Palace of Luxembourg was my favorite. I could easily relax in this beautiful palace. It's worth the tour.

I don't know that many Aussies are aware of a previous, albeit not crowned Queen. Hoping your Christmas and New Year are safe with a fair bit of fun Alexandra.

    Grand Duke Henri Abdication is something that i don't though at all i guess he only would abdicate after celebrating his silver jubilee on throne and after two years under prince guillaume regency

    Good evening Alexandra I hope you had a very nice Christmas eve and Christmas day. I saw it coming, Henri Grand Duke of Luxembourg abdication announcement. He has been grooming his son Hereditary Grand Duke Guillermo for quite awhile already, so to me no surprise. I think it's good timing. Excellent Christmas messages from all the Royasl of the European Kingdoms, specially King W. Alexander of the Netherlands very powerful words. I think in no time we might hear from King Charles handing the crown to his son William, he is looking mighty tired, but then there is the matter of Princess Catherine. All family photos are excellent. So sad Prince Leka of Albania's marriage went kaput, but he seems to be delighted in having his precious daughter. You have a follower Jaqueline1734 who really wants to meet a European Royal Prince, I read her post on every video you present 🤭well there you have it, got to pack her bags and fly to Albania good luck. No problem with the Greek Family info. wish them the best with their citizenship. Take care be happy. By the way for your eyes only....tomorrow is Thursday the 26th (not Wed,) 😊 From my home to yours Merry Christmas and a Happy New year God bless ❤💐🌲🐶

    Grand Duke Henri is abdicating, He did incredible things for his country. Maria Teresa was just a fashion disaster and was mean to staff. She tried to something some royal duties thinking it will make up for her meanness, It's not working. Now Gielloume and Stephanie will be the new Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg. But they will be inaugurated or proclaimed in October 3rd of the new year. Stephanie will be a better grand duchess fashion wise plus she seems care about the people more than her mother in law.
    The British Royal Family attended the Christmas Service. King Charles of England wore a brown double breasted coat with a tie, pants, shoes and an umbrella. Queen Camilla of England wore an olive green outfit with a matching hat and Princess Catherine of Wales wore a dark green coat with a matching hat and plaid scarf. Prince William of Wales was with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Prince George has looked his father I remember when he was a baby. I bet they got a visit from Santa. The best dressed royal was....Princess Catherine. The dark green works well with her skin tone and I like the scarf.
    Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Queen Sylvia Happy birthday to you🎂🎶
    I didn't know that the queen was born during Christmas, that's amazing! Jesus was born way before her time. 81 is a blessing of itself.
    The Norwegian Royal family celebrated Christmas by attending the church service. I love Crown Princess Mette Marit's gray brocade coat it's luxurious. The King and Queen will rule another year as long as there will be no more scandals (That means you Borg Høiby but god loves you anyway).

    Inevitable given the Grand Duchess Theresa situation happening twice now.
    Perhaps Herald V should consider doing the same and skipping straight to Ingrid Alexandra? Sidelines Marius straight away and prevents the dodgy son from taking advantage and exploiting that relationship which he likely would. Siblings are harder to manipulate than parents. I hate to be so negative but giving their approval ratings the survival of the Monarchy is at stake and cynicism and hard facts need to be factored in. Remove Martha Louise from succession too if she insists on making bad choices. This requires a slash and burn approach if they want to keep the throne.
