On the invitation of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain made a visit to Luxembourg this week, from April 16 to 18. Their last visit to Luxembourg was in July 1990. Among the activities were a visit to the Museum of Modern Art, Betzdorf's Castle, a concert by the Luxembourg Philharmonic, a luncheon hosted by Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, and a visit to the University of Luxembourg.
Grand Duchess Maria-Teresa donned some beautiful outfits as hostess of this visit. Her daytime wear was particularly lovely, especially the turquoise suite she donned on the first day of the visit and the fuschia suit on the second day of the visit. A highlight: the Grand Duchess donned the late Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte's favourite tiara for the first time.

Luxembourg Visit to Belgium

This week, from March 20 to March 22, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria-Teresa paid an official visit to Belgium. It was also a bit of a family visit: King Albert is Grand Duke Henri's uncle. (The Grand Duke's mom, the late Grand Duchess Josephine was King Albert's sister.)
Their first day was a bit of a windy one, but Maria Teresa looked so elegant in her cream knee-length jacket with the beading around the mid-section. For the evening banquet she donned a pretty purple number, but unfortunately she thought that it would be fashionable to match her dress to her lipstick. Thumbs down to that one. Queen Paola, who looked rather humerous earlier in the day in her tangerine-coloured balloon skirt, looked much better in her sequined and glittery black ensemble. Crown Princess Mathilde looked smashing in her fuschia pink gown -- very pretty alongside Maria Teresa's purple number.
The Grand Ducal couple were so cute throughout this trip: Holding hands and whispering to each other. Twenty-six years of marriage, five kids and a grandson later, they are still ever so in love. So sweet to see!
Plus the Grand Duchess looked very elegant and stylish during this trip.
I have acquired a new respect for this couple.
