Looking forward to the new Grand Duke and Grand Duchess.

I wonder, if Henry and especially MT will stay in the country afterwards.

The impression is MT barely stays in the country as it is and Henri does so only because he is sovereign. I suspect they will escape to Biarritz so MT can hang out with her “arty” friends and maybe Paris as well. Maybe they’ll also use the residence in Cabasson as well but I wonder if that “goes with the job”.

I guess because it won't trigger grand celebrations? He can go out quietly and let the appropriate amount of attention fall on his son. No cost to the state for a big fuss before getting a new guy whose own installation will also require some ceremony and public funds. That's my read.
Yes, but could they be leaving before the celebration because she's (they're?) unpopular enough with the people that the jubilee wouldn't trigger grand celebrations with the people? After all, he misjudged his popularity when he refused assent to a law and got himself removed from the law-making process because he doesn't have that kind of respect, and she's known for abusing staff.

I wonder if the government maybe made clear they weren't footing the bill for any Jubilee celebrations, esp with the cost of any ceremonies for Gui becoming Grand Duke. Why spend money on a couple who are controversial and stepping aside.

TBF I don't even know if jubilees are celebrated in Lux.

So apparently Henri is going to celebrate his 25years on the throne- despite abdicating 4 days short of that?! Clearly MT has plans  that can’t wait so we should all pretend time has shifted and 25 years exactly have passed.

a whole week of seeking mother terrible's girls in all ill-fitting frocks and blouses...forcing her daughter and D-I-L to wear her discards while she's kitted out in satan and looking like a discarded sausage at the abattoir..

Oh yes madam will make it all about her, slicked back hair and low cut tops for sure. I still can’t believe they have the gall to celebrate a milestone he is purposefully leaving 4 days short of. Make me wonder if someone eg the government hoped to force him out too soon for any jubilee celebrations so MT just decided to move the goal posts to have her moment. Based on previous “big occasions” I feel sorry for the staff who will have to put up with MTs diva demands and shoe throwing.
