On Tuesday, 14 July 2026, Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stéphanie, accompanied by Minister Martine Hansen, visited the Beieschoul (Beekeeping School) in Wiltz to celebrate its 140th anniversary. The Beieschoul has long served as a centre for education and public awareness dedicated to beekeeping and the fascinating world of bees.
Wearing protective clothing, the Grand Ducal Couple learned about the workings of a beehive and were introduced to the practice of beekeeping. During the visit, discussions also highlighted the essential role of bees and other pollinating insects in the reproduction of many plant species and in food production.
Marella Monochrome Cardigan
Oh. The Grand Success has cut her hair. Bravo! It look casual yet smart and more polished. I do wish she had buttoned all the buttons or none of them.

I think in the hot weather the one button is a good compromise to keep the cardigan closed enough without being any hotter. It’s a valid European styling.
DeleteCute typo in your comment: Success rather than Duchess. Indeed, she’s doing wonderfully!
Yes, this length looks so much better, I love this look for her.

DeleteI agree with you.

DeleteMarella is a subsidiary group included in the fashion house " Max Mara"- Italian style.
The blazer is cleverly structured and the colour is a more muted green shade, which I prefer to louder hues on her.
My only quibble are her trousers.
My understanding is that they are intended to be " wide- legged" and that's fine, but their width is excessive.
A tad more tapered leg would have looked more flattering optically imo.
White is known to be a typical summery colour , of course, though it may be a tricky choice on curvier women (it tends to enlarge the visual perception of volumes).
The (embroidered?) clutch matches the whole outfit beautifully.
Not sure about her shoes, they might be open toed wedges.
The Grand Duke looks equally well groomed.
Hugs, my friend!!
👍👋
P the original. Hello my friend, thank you for your comment. This is so interesting. I am a bit familiar with the "Max Mara" brand, but Marella I will research.
DeleteYes, I thought so too. Very baggy aren't they? I didn't find them flattering at all. Confessing, I don't like the white of color with regards to the baggy pants. The embroider clutch is well done, very pretty. Yes, correct, open toe shoes. I think the Grand Duke, is lovely of demeanor and nature, always smiling and gentle. Take good care, Hugs, my friend. !

DeleteHello my friend, it's always a pleasure to hear from you and your comments , well,I simply enjoy them, particularly the detailed one about P.Charlene's last glamorous presentation!
You know, I don't like to focus on women's figures (on the contrary, I can't make it out how some readers on this blog tend to dissect royal ladies' bodies) but I had to in relation to GD Stephanie's baggy trousers.
I mean, she could make more
'thoughtful' sartorial choices and yet she keeps on making unecessary mistakes.
Pity, she is so pretty and personable!
I think that wearing good shapewear underneath could make a difference plus selecting the right items in terms of size, colour and overall design.
After all, I see fashion as a sort of puzzle: if you make the slightest mishap, each missing or wrongly placed piece impacts badly on the whole visual effect.
Besides, I feel that loose pants and suits look flattering only on particular body frames (see Infanta Sofia).
Basically, the Max Mara brand is pretty versatile, each subsidiary company collection is intended for customers with specific needs so each single client is supposed to find what looks best on her.
I agree with you, the Grand Duke always smiles and is so gentle.
It's so nice to see this extrovert couple interacting with other people !
Have a nice wekend, hugs!!
👍💪👋
* the slightest misstep
DeleteP the original 09.53 Forgive my tardiness my friend! I completely missed your comment. My sincere apologies. You make a very good comment about shapewear underneath. I too believe that is part of the problem. A little guidance in this area? I was wondering if the Grand Duchess actually has a dresser, or does she take care of her own wardrobe and such like? Yes, if there is a mistake, it is noticed unfortunately in the GD case, its on the world stage. Definitely a must, wearing clothing for your shape and height is a must. Yes the Grand Duke I believe has a wonderful inner soul and nature and its reflected in his demeanor and personality. He is consistent, always this way, its so refreshing to see. They appear to gel well together, a great match. She is so sweet and emanates kindness, a lovely royal couple. Take good care my friend. Hugs !
DeleteWhat a good idea. wish every country had a beekeeping school. We have to learn from books or from other beekeepers. Bees are important
ReplyDeleteNice outfit, the button undone would have been better but this way is okay too. Nice length of her hair.
ReplyDeleteLove this casual outfit with a sophisticated white background that highlights the sweater, with a perfect length and nice collar. The open neckline and wide straight leg pants are very flattering. The color combo and handmade handbag are both casual and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent hot weather look for Stephanie. The textured cardigan falls beautifully over her singlet underlay, and the sleeves (unlike on the model) are the perfect length for her height. . The handbag, and interesting earrings worn with her hair in a half updo, are delightful. And finally, her colours coordinate with Guillaume's! I bet that up close, the green is picked up in her blue eyes. Well done to both. Lyra

Ce léger cardigan pistache foncé se combine à merveille avec le reste blanc de sa tenue !
ReplyDeleteThis could have been such a good idea with the cardigan just a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteI disagree it falls at the best part of her hips, longer would just accentuate
DeleteAgree with 15:23 ... to disagree about cardigan length. Longer would make it bulkier.
DeleteI’m in the minority, but I don’t find this a flattering look. The trouser is too tight in the upper part,leaving an unflattering image.
ReplyDeleteI believe when the right sizing undergarments are worn it really lifts the look. It makes or breaks an outfit.
I do like the youthful hairstyle. GDS has such a lovely way about her,and that radiates in her countenance. My wish for her,is that she employs a stylist/ colorist ,who can help and guide her to look her absolute best.
Lowri.
Love the new haircut! Very flattering and still perfect for pulling up if she wants. I also really like this outfit on Stephanie. Very pretty look for her. I think this might be one of her best looks this summer. Also, as a person very allergic to bees and wasps--the royal couple is very brave to suit up to visit the hives-- think I would probably faint from fear!
ReplyDeleteJanet
A shorter haircut is good in summer. This moss green colour is too autumnal for me. Overall look is not too much, especially compared to some of her previous ones.
