The 2025 National Day celebrations in Luxembourg began with an official ceremony held at the Philharmonie. On June 23, 2025, the Grand Ducal Family attended the event, which this year focused on the theme of the 25th anniversary of Grand Duke Henri’s reign. On this occasion, the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Claude Wiseler, and Prime Minister Luc Frieden paid tribute to the Grand Duke in their speeches.
Grand Duke Henri, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie, Princess Alexandra, Nicolas Bagory, Prince Félix, Prince Sébastien, Prince Louis, Prince Gabriel, Prince Noah, Prince Guillaume, Princess Sibilla, Prince Jean, Countess Diane, Princess Marie-Astrid, Archduke Carl Christian, Princess Margaretha, and Prince Nikolaus were among those in attendance at the Philharmonie.
Later, a military parade took place on Avenue de la Liberté in the presence of the Grand Ducal Family. As part of the National Day celebrations, a Te Deum thanksgiving service will be held this evening at Notre-Dame Cathedral, which the Grand Ducal Family is expected to attend.
The Grand Ducal Family attended the traditional Te Deum service, marking the conclusion of the National Day celebrations. The hymn was first intoned by His Eminence Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich and then performed by the Maîtrise Sainte-Cécile and the choir of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Luxembourg.
The ladies all look lovely, nice colours and fit. I am disappointed with Alexandra she just seems not interested in choosing to look her best. She is a beautiful woman, I wish she would fix her hair, it always seems to be scraggly.
ReplyDeleteI always think we should congratulate pregnant women just for showing up. Pregnancy can be so incredibly draining! I think here her hair is very clean and neat and nicely pulled back, and her outfit is classic and enough. - Grace
DeleteI fully agree with Grace (18:23)
DeleteI also agree with Grace.
DeleteGDMT is a miss for me. The dress doesn't look right on her, but the colour is gorgeous. However good on her for not bothering with what anyone thinks and simply wearing with confidence whatever she likes.
ReplyDeleteStephanie's dress looks lovely, as does she. She is upping her sartorial game for sure.

Wat een verkleedpartij al die dagen.
ReplyDeleteStephanie looks so much better once the cape disappeared. The dress is a great style for her. She looks young and pretty—not drowning in all that bulky fabric she’s been wearing lately
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say it. I really like what all the royal women are wearing. I wasn't sure about Stephanie's dress but once she shifted the cape back I really liked it. She can wear a shift style dress so well and the floral accent *pops* the look beautifully. Claire wears my favourite outfit but I think they all look just lovely
ReplyDeleteI don't see a Claire.
Delete@ EhBethI do not see Claire. Please describe her.
DeleteI realized later that I'd typed Claire because she was on my mind (wondering where she was) but meant Princess Sibilla. Oops
DeleteSo much to look at! The Grand Duke and Duchess look wonderful, and always joyful too. I very much admire the generous positivity of this couple. Stephanie’s dress would be more to my taste with a few centimetres extra length, and a more fitted design. I know she prefers very loose garments but I think her figure works much better with tailoring. I notice she nearly always puts something across her tummy in photos (handbag or hands) and I hope she can overcome the habit for a better posture and look. They said, being in the public eye must be hard and hiding a little is also natural. I don’t know the name of the lady walking holding her husband’s hand, but I find her blue/white dress absolutely gorgeous, along with her scarf and shoes. What fun. - Mary
ReplyDelete@ Her name is Princess Sibilla, the wife of Prince Guillaume and sister in law of Grand Duke Henri.
DeleteThank you for the info!
DeleteWow, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie look so lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very very beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteClaire ?? I only see Felix !!
ReplyDeleteI haven’t seen Claire in the last gatherings either. I hope she’s alright. MR
DeleteMy thoughts too!
DeleteWhy always thinking that sombody who is not present must be ill. She might have hundred reasons not to be present. She has a family too which needs attention now and then. Only one of Prince Felix children was present : Princess Amalia on June 21st the first day of the celebrations.
DeleteIf GD Maria-Teresa's dress was a tad shorter and Prinsess Stéphanie's dress a lad longer , it would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I think Stephanie would also benefit from a more supportive bra. MR
Delete@ MR
DeleteJust like the Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh. Why women with breasts must always hear the same. You can wear a bra that is so supportive that you cannot breath anymore. Women who are flat like a man do not need to wear supportive bra's but they never receive a comment that they should wear a padded bra.
Maria Teresa et Stéphanie ont réussi à avoir un look élégant dans leur robe dont une fuchsia et l'autre blanche !

ReplyDeletePrincess Marie-Astrid is a woman of class!
GD MT has hit the spot. We know she’s conscious of her upper arms,as she constantly wears wraps. The styling of the dress requires no shawl.The color is sublime,
ReplyDeleteHGD Stephanie looks much better in this style,than the full in print of the previous day. The white,with the flower accessories very feminine and wispy. She should stick this style,it flatters her the most.
What was lovely about the day,was there were no matching outfits,all the ladies came with their individual style.
Lowri.
Everything you said, agree entirely.
DeleteQu'elle est
ReplyDeleteQu'elle est jolie Stéphanie sur la dernière photo. Cette petite robe blanche est tellement mieux sans la cape. Trop de capes en ce moment sur toutes ces dames. Paloma.
ReplyDeleteHooray — finally, not a pantsuit or jumpsuit in sight! 👏🏻🥲 M-T and Stephanie both look spectacular and on point — well done ladies ♥️. Cape dresses are beautiful on Stephanie (but the cape needs to remain *on*, heat wave or not). — Jane
ReplyDeleteNice dress on Maria Theresa, though, I like better the way her hair turned out yesterday better. I like the solid white on Stephanie and that the color comes from the corsage, natural color. Christine
ReplyDeleteNice look for all the ladies. An end to an Ara and the beginning of a new one.
