MT could truly be the evil MIL despite appearances. I did not realize she didn’t attend Steph’s fathers funeral  To be fair, my maternal grandmother didn't attend the funeral of paternal grandmother and they live in the same city. They'd met a few times and asked after each other, but it would've been odd to me for her to be there. I doubt my parents would attend the funerals of either of my brother's in-laws either. I'm sure they'd feel sympathetic and want to support my sister-in-law, but they don't have a relationship with her parents... I don't see the huge deal with MT not attending if she supported Stephanie in other ways (and I'm from the South where attending a funeral is like a hobby for some people). |

I found this old photo of Gui and Steph supporting MT's "Stand Speak Rise Up" event last month  There is really NOTHING presentable to see here. Starts with her sloppy hair, undone face, facial expression as if she was totally stoned and goes down to her off-center cleavage. And ends with his unshaven face, facial expression as if he was totally stoned, too, his pimply double chin and goes down to his breast hair (!). BREAST HAIR! And don't even get me started about the gold chain with pendant he is wearing beneath his too tight shirt. Totally disgusting, If you ask me, he looks like I'd imagine a guy collecting soft pornos, pictured with the intimidated wifey. They are the strangest couple in the strangest family. |

In my opinion, one or both of them are going though a rough patch that, were they not who they are, would have been solved long ago. How can a crown prince (let's forget about the crown princess consort) ,at his not so young age, afford to be absent (AWOL or not) and avoid his duties for such a long period of time? How is he getting prepared to take up his rightful position ( Long Live GD Henri)? And why are all the rest held at bay? I know Lux is a small country, but there must be something to do : either they all go together, or no one makes an appearance. Sorry, I shouldn't be so harsh right now, but most of them have been missing for so long that I wonder whether they are needed at all. GD Jean was supporting a cause a few weeks ago; most of his descendants didn't deign to attend his 98th birthday party ( unless they wanted out of the picture.) I truly get that Steph had a hard time loosing her mother shortly before her wedding and now her father too. And maybe she's also under pressure about producing an heir. But she's not the only Crownprincess ever to be in this situation. Just think of Masako. She had it far worse and still didn't show up like Steph not caring for anything.Gui has obviously never thought much of his appearance either so these two go well together. IMO if they don't want to be in this position just step aside and let Felix/Claire do the job. It won't get any better doing nothing or pretending everything is fine. In all fairness to Stephanie, Masako became a hermit for years and we almost never saw her, ever. I totally agree with you though, Linus and Lobster have no excuse at this point in their royal careers. I'd excuse Steph if she showed a work ethic when she's not in mourning, but she doesn't. So I have to conclude they're just not that interested or motivated. They should step aside, but there's really no one to fill their place. No matter how much we like Henri and MT, they did a poor job of raising their children from all appearances. |

And it just hit me that Gui is holding up an anti-rape sign while styled like a denizen of Studio 54. |

She never was the kind of face that a man who brake his car, but again ugly clothes, she looks messy and those brows good lord! They are way too odd. I think she looked stunning on her wedding day. And has had an odd moment here or there where she's quite pretty. But she's not aware of fashion or makeup so day to day she doesn't have the same impact. Not sure if lazy or just not feeling like the clothes make the person but she's obviously not into it. The indoor lighting makes this picture a million times worse. As for G, his red face doesn't bother me, but wish he buttoned up or better yet had on a tie. |

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't be the same man What does Duke Henri holding up his two fingers like that mean, and does that solute have a name so I can learn about it, please? Tak G The photo shows Grand Duke Henri at his enthronement on 7 October 2000. He is taking the constitutional oath at the Grand Room of Chambers. Behind him is the "throne" which was restored for this event. Note that this was not a coronation, as Luxembourg has no official crown or regalia. At about 11.00 a.m., before the Chamber of Deputies, HRH Grand Duke Henri took the oath stipulated by Article 5 of the Constitution: ‘I swear to observe the Constitution and the Laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, to maintain the national independence and integrity of the territory, as well as public and individual liberties’. During this oath, Henri raised two fingers to swear allegiance to the Constitution of Luxembourg. I believe this hand gesture is called a "schwurhand" and is "used in Germanic Europe and neighboring countries, when swearing an oath in court, in office, or in swearing-in. The right hand is raised, with the index finger and middle finger extended upwards, the last two digits are curled downwards. The thumb is shown slightly curled." |
