I've always thought Crown Princess Victoria possesses THE million-dollar smile. But seeing Stephanie so radiantly happy might mean she has a contender.

Beautiful!

Just how many photos of a really sweetly happy couple were taken and never shown before?  Instead all we were shown were photos of an awkward, distant couple and it was hard to warm to them.  Strange choice to make by the cour when there were photos like these around

  I am inclined to think there has been a lot going on behind the scenes that we could never have guessed at.

This is a lovely photo.

I just wanted to write that!!

At least, the cat is out of the bag now.

The optics are pretty bad for GD Henri right now, aren't they? - what with MT being unpopular; the new home in the South of France & spending the holidays away from Luxembourg.  So the cour probably decided to release some good photos of S & G to get some better press.   Also it builds them up as the solid, happy young couple (in case it gets so bad that Henri has to go).  Focus on the happy couple with the sweet baby = good press.  Smart move.

Guillaume has met Ms. Stéphanie Damgé, director, and Mr. Patrick Wies, president of Jonk Entrepreneuren Luxembourg, an association created in 2005 whose mission is to transmit to young people the taste for entrepreneurship and to make them aware of the economic and entrepreneurial world through projects integrated into Luxembourgish education.

BTW, the event's webpage says that Guillaume was 19 y.o. then he started taking part in economic missions with the Luxembourg government.

Guillaume accompanied by the Minister of Family and Integration, went to the night center of La Wanteraktioun, which welcomes between 120 and 150 homeless people daily during the very cold months. HGD received explanations on the central role of the association in management and coordination emergency structures in Luxembourg, like Wanteraktioun, with the aim of helping the most disadvantaged people.
 
Subsequently, Guillaume visited the Findel refuge, inaugurated in December 2019, which offers homeless people a roof for a warm night, meals, a washing service as well as ancillary activities. He met the staff and volunteers who work on the site and helped to distribute meals. Guillaume talked with the homeless people about their experiences and their difficulties encountered on a daily basis.

Guillaume received in audience Mr. Georges Santer, President, Mrs. Corinna Niemeyer, musical director and conductor and Mr. Claude Origer, member of the Board of Directors representing the musicians of the Chamber Orchestra of Luxembourg (OCL). Passionate about classical music, the Prince has been the High Patronage of the OCL since 2013.

Despite the challenges generated by the crisis, the representatives are optimistic and approach 2021 with new artistic projects while continuing to pay particular attention to the work of awareness and education of young people in instrumental practice.

Guillaume, accompanied by the Minister of the Economy, went to Hosingen to visit the Luxembourg company B Medical Systems, manufacturer of medical equipment since 1979 and world leader in the field of storage and transport of vaccines.

During the pandemic, the Luxembourg company faced an upsurge in global demand for their products from governments and healthcare and health organizations. The launch of the vaccine campaigns quickly highlighted the specific storage constraints to which the firm's ultra-low temperature freezers meet.

This unprecedented request led the company to adapt its production chain. To meet increased demand, the construction of a new production hall was initiated during the visit and will significantly increase the output of the plant. The signing of this extension project, co-financed by the Ministry of the Economy, is part of the government's assistance program aimed at stimulating investments in times of COVID-19.

It is probably me, but I hate this "pope washing feet on maudy tuesday" thing with the royals giving out a tray of food to the elderly, homeless whatever in this fashion. It is plain obvious, that they only do it for a extremely short time (the photo) and do not put in a real deal of work...
