National Day 2019

I think Sebastien looks nice with a beard

So why the hell weren't Lobster and Linus there? It's National Day, for God's sake!

With this royal family, the bar is set lower than any other royal family, imo.

Well 4 of the 5 children of Henri and MT realised that it is polite to turn up for such an event and they came and supported their parents.

A young Gui ..... Alex is the only one with any promise

There must be some sort of strain in this family. Look at GD H: he's holding MT's hand for dear life.

Well the last few months were not the easiest for them, so that seems to be one reason. But I also had the impression that both Henri and MT seem to expect something to happen (some sort of scandal involving Tessy or one of their children?). Henri and MT together seem ok but to me, they send out this "we two against the rest of the world" vibe. I guess it will become clearer what happened after the summer holidays. For now, they just have to get over with the National Day and the garden party before they might disappear to Cabasson for the rest of the summer.
For those who want to watch, rtl.lu has a livestream for the torch parade which should start at 9pm (or 9:30) tonight plus they are streaming tomorrow morning from 9am onwards.
First pics from this afternoon, Henri and MT were in Bourscheid visiting the old castle and talking to the people. Gui and Linus were in Esch. To bad that she didn't bother to wear a dress that was ironed.

Linus is so disrespectful to the people meeting her. I actually like the colour and dress on her.

How hard can it be to use an iron?

I was going to say how nice she looked and then I got to the close up with all of the wrinkles... Ruins the outfit completely.

It’s a very nice colour though and they look quite happy.

All things aside the family seems very tightknit so hopefully there’s nothing seriously wrong with anyone.

Claire is not at the torch parade. Henri and MT seemed very emotional and very moved when the military music performed just now.

[Lord G¡n]

A countess upgraded to princess, bred in and lady of a castle ...sitting so graciously. At least they both look happy.

What is it with this woman and her open-toe shoes with hose? It looks sooo matronly/geriatric. But the color is lovely on her, minus the shoes and wrinkles this is one of her better looks.

I do sense tension, or perhaps it's sadness or a mix of both. Henri is very tense and MT seems sad. I hope whatever it is blows over after the summer.
