As part of the accession to the throne, which will take place on Friday, October 3, the Grand Ducal Court has released the official portraits of the future Grand Ducal Couple. Photographs of the future Grand Duke Guillaume and the future Grand Duchess Stéphanie, taken by photographers Kary Barthelmey and Christian Aschman, will, in keeping with tradition, be displayed in public buildings starting from October 3.
Aw, they always seem like a very sweet couple. She looks gorgeous in that white!
ReplyDeleteStephanie looks just great here.
ReplyDeletePerfect hair and makeup.
The dress is regal yet understated.

Lovely photos. And not a strange tape-like thing on their collars, nor a strange background in sight! Can someone please confirm, if possible - I thought that what is happening on October 3rd is that the current Grand Ducal couple will retire vs. fully and officially abdicate, similar to Liechtenstein, where Hans-Adam turned over the reigns to Alois and Sophie but is still technically the reigning Prince of Liechtenstein until he passes away. It sounds from this post, however, that a full abdication will take place. I will look this up online of course, but thought to ask for any insights here as well.
ReplyDeleteOh doesn’t Stephanie look beautiful. This dress suits her so nicely. I am on the fence with the fit of the princes suit, it looks a bit big and not sure of the colour because of the lighting. Very nice portrait
ReplyDeleteI don't miss that beard at all. Neither the previous artistic portraits. These are very traditional and a bit stiff photos, which is all right, considering them displayed everywhere. Stephanie's dress is 100%, I would highly estimate just a tiny bit more smile on her face. - And I miss just one, the most important detail: those precious boys on their arms :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch predictable comments. I would have bet my life that the previous art portraits were going to be brought up. How hard is it to just appreciate these official portraits? Stephanie looks lovely, regal in fact. I am still wishing Guillaume will bring the beard back. I think he looked great with it.
ReplyDeleteSuperbes portraits ; beaucoup de douceur dans cette robe blanche aux lignes sobres ; que porte t’elle comme boucles d’oreilles ?!
ReplyDeleteWow just fantastic Stéphanie. More of this
