On September 26, 2024, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, accompanied by Prime Minister Luc Frieden, welcomed His Holiness Pope Francis at Luxembourg Findel International Airport. Pope Francis is in Luxembourg for less than eight hours before flying to Belgium. On Friday, the Pope will travel to nearby Belgium, where he is expected to meet with bishops, priests, and religious leaders. Later, he will engage with students at the Catholic University of Louvain.
During his one-day apostolic journey to Luxembourg, Pope Francis met with members of the Grand Ducal family at the Grand Ducal Palace.
Among those present were Grand Duke Henri, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie, Prince Charles, Prince Francois, Prince Felix, Princess Claire, Princess Amalia, Prince Liam, Prince Balthazar, Prince Louis, Prince Gabriel, Prince Noah, Princess Alexandra, Nicolas Bagory, and Prince Sebastien.
Eine schöne Familie, all diese süßen und schönen Kinder sehen so glücklich und wohl behütet aus - sehr natürlich. Diese Bilder zeigen den Pabst also den heiligen Vater und keiner hebt sich hervor, so soll das sein. Die Erbherzogin Stephanie hat ihre Haare sehr schön und die Großherzogin Maria Teresa in diesem Kleid, das finde ich viel zu lang und zu wuchtig. Es ist ein sehr hübsches Kleid keine Frage, aber auch der Ausschnitt viel zu offenherzig für diesen Gast. Das sollte sie selbst als gläubige Christin besser machen. -Dorothe-

ReplyDeleteMagnifique famille très bien représentée - Je suis étonnée par Maria Teresa qui est vêtue de bleu marine ? Il est vrai que le Pape est accueilli au Luxembourg et que c'est peut-être différent que lorsqu'il reçoit officiellement au Vatican !
ReplyDeleteI actually like what Maria Teresa is wearing. That´s not usually the case.
ReplyDeleteI like this dress on the GD, length and all. Everyone is dressed nicely and the Pope fits in just like a grandpa. He likes children around him, being themselves. To bad we did not get a glimpse of Victoire. Cute to see the grand duke have his granddaughter by his side. Love this family.
ReplyDeleteGD Maria Teresa's dress is swallowing her whole. Too long might be the main issue. Overall, the Nassau Family looks very polished, and clearly happy to host the Holy Father.
ReplyDeleteGDMT looks lovely in these pics. Nice gathering of everyone.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful family, and so at ease with His Holiness, and he with them. Maria Teresa's dress would have looked better if it had been shorter. It looks like she is wearing regular sizing when she should have gone with petite sizing. It is nice seeing her in a dress. She has opted for pants quite often and this is an occasion where a dress is appropriate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family with the most gorgeous children. Amalia is going to be tall and pretty like Claire. Charles seems to have gotten a haircut. He is uncharacteristically shy with His Holiness. Stephanie looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteMaria Theresa looks wonderful here! This dress is one of the best I have seen her wear in a very long time--perhaps solids are a better choice for her. What a beautiful family MT and Duke Henri have! It's wonderful to see all the children and grandchildren (missing Alexandra's little one though). Nice to see Claire with their new little one. What a very special event for all of them.

Aw what a lovely visit. They are such a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that GDMT decided not to apply her privilège du blanc
