Just wondering, does Luxembourg have a population that is skewed toward the geriatric end of things? Is there much in-migration to Luxembourg? Maybe all those visits to the old folks' homes are because this is the growth area of the country's demographic. And anyway, probably all those old peoples' kids and grandkids will see the photos of Stephanie, Guillame and little Charles and be pleased that somebody has gone to visit them in such a kind and high-profile way.
I have been reading about this recently as part of statistical comparisons for a paper. The population aged > 65 in Lux is +/- 15%. |

You know, I'd take little Charles learning to accept & be accustomed to the elderly, simply from an hour or two exposure, from an early age - ten times over the more glamorous, "important," or just I'm-here-to-be-seen, stuff. Also Stephanie & Gui are making some elders' days brighter by continued visits to elder care places with Charles (and I hope, their next baby) and that's what matters. |

Another great family visit with good photos. Love Charles’ monogrammed hat and matching sweater.

Prince Charles is a true delight. He should have his own television show.

Charles is easily the best dressed member of this family  Wonder if there are any carehomes left in Luxembourg they have not visited yet. Although the visits are adorable and a joy for the old people, it would be nice to see Stephanie and Guillame show some interest in something else. |

It would be nice to see Charles interacting with kids of his age. But of course he is as cute as always. |

He certainly is, and I usually really enjoy seeing this happy little growing family. But tbf, I could do without seeing Steph in camel-toe leggings.

Charles is just hitting the age where he can be a bit “over it”. Much as it is wonderful for the aged care residents to see him, these visits should be scaled back soon.

I don't get it. She bought a new evening gown from Seraphine (in a colour that washes her out) but none of the pretty maternity tops they offer. |

Has no one ever thought that Steph simply doesn't own all the clothes she wears?
I'm following S&G since their engagement, and I've always had a soft spot for her.
From what I've seen through all these years, Steph never repeats her expensive designer clothes. Some tops maybe but not more. She seems to have a number of equally monstrous wide-leg trousers from Natan but she goes on repeating the noname monstrosities even if they are in the same color. Isn't it strange?
And she has never repeated the looks then she looked great! I remember her looking like a Greek goddess in that grey one-shoulder dress at (correct me if I'm wrong) the eve of Mad of Sweden's wedding. Did she repeat it? No! Alex repeated it, not Steph – and for Alex it was too tight and too short and she looked awful.
And, of course, Steph's clothes are never altered for her. Never!
And you know what else?
Not only MT is the only woman in the family who gets the help and money for her looks.
Henry is the only man looking normal as well. None (!) of his sons looks good or put together or like a man who knows how his trousers should look.
And I know that this thought isn't popular here but I've read (including from the people from Lux) that Gui is actually a very smart person who is very good at finances and business contacts, and their prime-minister and co actually respect him and value his knowledge. And at all those business trips and conferences Gui is not simply a door-openner but the actual leader and expert.
If all of this is really true, I start thinking that it's not only MT who is envious but Henry as well.
And they both don't want their heirs to overshadow them.
So, yes, I think G&S simply don't get money they need to hire stylists they definitely need and buy bespoke clothes. And they don't have other money that MT and H give them because Steph is poor for an aristocrat, and Gui doesn't have other earnings as his job is to be his father's son.
P.S. Please, do not tell me that S&G are not poor and there're millions of women who dress and look well without a stylist. I know that pretty well – and I'm a Ukrainian in her evacuation. But compared to an ordinary mom in the playground Steph looks normal. She looks awful compared to Kate and Mary. And to look good compared to Kate and Mary, she needs hundreds of thousands dollars and her own stylist, her own hairdresser, her own makeup artist, and a full-time chambermaid. And she has none of that.

Gui would have an allowance... what that pays for is questionable. Felix married money so no issues for him. No 3 son got his bills paid until the marriage failed and the next two are basically invisible but they will also get some sort of allowance too but through a trust so they have no assets |
