Happy 43rd birthday to Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg!

Born on 11 November 1981, Guillaume Jean Joseph Marie is the heir apparent to the crown of Luxembourg, as the eldest child of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa. He has served as the Lieutenant-Representative of Luxembourg since October 2024.

Guillaume has been heir apparent to the crown of Luxembourg since his father's accession in 2000. On 8 October 2024, it was announced by Grand Duke Henri that Prince Guillaume was appointed as lieutenant representative (regent). Under this capacity, he assumed a number of his father's constitutional powers.

On 26 April 2012, the court announced the engagement of the Hereditary Grand Duke to the Belgian Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy. The civil wedding took place on Friday, 19 October 2012; the religious wedding took place on Saturday, 20 October 2012, at the Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Guillaume and Stéphanie have two sons, Charles (4) and François (1), who are second and third in the line of succession to the throne of Luxembourg, respectively.

HRH Prince François Henri Luis Marie Guillaume of Luxembourg, Prince of Nassau, Prince de Bourbon de Parme -- b. 27 March 2023

François is a relatively uncommon name in the Grand Ducal Family; it is one of the middle names of Prince Robert, the first cousin of the Grand Duke, as well as Prince Wenceslas, one of the sons of Prince Jean and the Grand Duke's nephew.

Henri of course honors the current Grand Duke, who is little Prince François's grandfather.

Luis honors the Hereditary Grand Duke's younger brother, Prince Louis, as well as several other family members who have or had the name, including Prince Guillaume, the Hereditary Grand Duke's godfather, as well as Count Paul de Lannoy, the Hereditary Grand Duchess's late grandfather. The Spanish form possibly honors the Hereditary Grand Duke's Cuban heritage.

Marie is a long-standing tradition in the Grand Ducal Family honoring the Virgin Mary. Nearly all members of the Grand Ducal Family and the Lannoy family have this name, including both the Hereditary Grand Duke and Hereditary Grand Duchess.

Guillaume honors the Hereditary Grand Duke, his uncle and godfather Prince Guillaume, as well as four former reigning Grand Dukes.

Royal Godparents to Royal Godchildren

I did this list back in 2012, and got some great responses. I've updated and edited parts of the list. Again, any corrections and/or adds, message me! Thanks in advance!

When choosing godparents for their children, the parents often chose friends or other relatives. Often in royal circles, royals also pick other royals. Here’s a partial list. (Yes, I know some lists are incompelte as some of these royals’s godchildren are not royals themselves.) If you have any additions, please feel free to message me!

🌟Thank you very much for these great findings Andrea, you are great!!🌟😍💜

A new Home Movie by Frédéric Pardo has been found and it will be shown the 9th March 2023 at 19:30h at Cinema Reflet Medicis

                        Home Movie : New York

Frédéric Pardo

France 1968  / 20 min  

With Tina Aumont, Nico, Jackie Raynal.

Jackie Raynal and Tina Aumont in Central Park. Views from an apartment, from a car, Nico at the window above Tina Aumont. Jackie Raynal, pregnant, gets dressed in an apartment, Tina is lying down in bed. Walks in the streets of NYC at dusk.

2K digitization at the CNC laboratory by the Cinémathèque française, from the 8 and 16 mm copies kept in the collections.

Three Home Movies, from a collection deposited at the Cinémathèque. Three previously unseen films, which show, in their simplicity of family films, an artist in love: Tina Aumont is permanently at the center of Paris Home Movie With Tina, a candid poem shot mostly in the alleys of Luxembourg and Pardo New York, where the couple joins Viva and Michel Auder in Central Park, and where we also see Nico at the window of a room in the Chelsea Hotel. Here again, Tina magnetizes the painter’s gaze. What he does with her and the light has no other aim than to translate into images an intimacy that obsesses and delights him. Different, because devoted to the group – in this case the Zanzibar band, Philippe Garrel, Serge Bard, Patrick Deval, Jackie Raynal, Michel Auder, Daniel Pommereulle and Sylvina Boissonnas – Home Movie Marrakech begins in Venice. Tina contemplates the Grand Canal from her room before continuing in a boat, then it’s Morocco, crossed in a large American car. We recognize Sylvina Boissonnas, producer and patron of the group, Caroline de Bendern, Auder, and others (it could be, it is to be confirmed, Jean Mascolo, Babethe Lamy and Pierre-Richard Bré). It is a prolegomena to the Home Movie that Pardo will do in the wake of the filming of Garrel’s Le Lit de la Vierge. It is notable that these films were not listed in the catalog of Zanzibar productions. Pardo obviously had no intention of showing them. Discovering them today, however, leads us to place them (all things considered) alongside certain films by Pierre Clémenti, Warhol, Mekas or Garrel: a whole crest line of a cinema that fuels the intimate, the couple, to the band, and to the meeting. In the psychedelic paintings that Pardo was doing at the same time (from his initiation, by Klarwein, to the ancestral tempera method), the princes, the sponsors were replaced by friends, loves. It was an idea he held dear. When we know the influence (aesthetic in all) that Pardo had on the Zanzibar group, we understand better in what perspective Garrel, at the time of Le Berceau de Cristal (where he films Pardo at work) needed in turn to gather his “ family” in his films. To repopulate an imaginary in exile, caught in a perpetual flight.

Ney’s Execution; Victor’s Remorse

If, in the year of 1815, all eyes are turned to Luxembourg, it is not to admire the Haute Chambre itself, but because a resounding event took place there: Ney first appeared before a council of war that declared itself incompetent; according to his own wishes, he is brought before the Chamber of Peers constituting a Court of Justice. A climate of revenge permeates royalist circles, excepting the King, a fine politician, who would have done without a lynching. His entourage, however, burns to make an example, a sort of expiatory sacrifice. On 4 December [1815], the Peers meet and debate for two days. The result is without appeal: one single Peer, the duke of Broglie, speaks with courage against the condemnation; five abstain; seventeen vote for deportation; a hundred and thirty eight vote for death. They considered themselves judges rather than jurors; they thus enforced the law. Victor voted with the majority, undoubtedly with a heavy heart; in any case in each of the two ballots, he voted for the death of his former companion-in-arms, as did Maison, former chief of staff of Victor and Ney’s companion-in-suffering in Russia. The King will not use his right of pardon and Ney will be shot on 7 December. It seems that Victor, throughout his life, will suffer from remorse of this decision [...]

Jean-Pierre Tarin, Le Maréchal Victor: loyal sous Napoléon, fidèle sous la Restauration, p. 280.

It is common knowledge in Napoleonic circles that Victor voted for Ney’s death, and the circulated claim that Victor regretted his choice for the rest of his life intrigued me as soon as I saw it. From where was it sourced and how valid was the source? The Tarin biography of Victor skims over Victor’s reaction to Ney’s fate (more emphasis was given to figures of the Restoration in the succeeding passages—men, money, dates). Worse, the account Tarin gives of the trial and execution does not seem to be sourced, as if a memory-based anecdote. Evidently, from Tarin’s perspective, Victor’s alleged “remorse” is unimportant to his life. I am sure many reading this would agree with Tarin—it would be more telling to act as one believes in the moment than to cry over spilt milk. Indeed, acting in the moment is what the Marshals are known for, and it's why We Don't Talk About Victor Marshals that fit the archetype are more likeable.

The Le Coustumier biography is sympathetic to Victor. It circulates the same claim with more detail, and fortunately, the source is mentioned (p. 284).

If we are to believe Count André Martinet in an article published in Janurary 1902 in Le Figaro, (as Martinet could consult the Bellune family archives and speak with [Victor’s] descendants,) the death of Ney tormented Victor’s conscience through his remaining life. He reports: “But there was a day in the year where the Duke of Bellune did not appear at the family table, where he refused to receive even the most intimate of his friends: 7 December, which witnessed Ney's execution.* (…) Why, he often said, did my poor comrade refuse to appear before a council of war composed of the Marshals of France? If we were obliged to pronounce a condemnation, rather than executing the sentence, we would all have returned our batons to the hands of the King, and he would have been compelled to give pardon.” * The death of Ney pursued Victor to his grave. It was the 7 and 8 March 1841 that the eldest son of the Prince of Moscow made his entrance after ten years of waiting into the Chamber of Peers, demanding in vain the rehabilitation of his father. On both days, Victor was resting at Saint Louis des Invalides, to be buried on 9 March at Père Lachaise.

A note on the footnotes: Victor had died on 1 March 1841, so Le Coustumier may be stretching the metaphor a little. It might be more logical to say that Marshal Ney was left unrecognised until more favourable hands seized political power. The italics are my emphasis, for clarity. pp. 280-281 of the Le Coustumier quotes Augereau (unsourced!) on a similar note.

Weakened by his remorse, Augereau confessed on his deathbed, seven months later: “We were cowards. We should have declared ourselves competent despite Ney’s objections. If we had done so, he would at least have lived."

Augereau's words are believable enough. Do we buy Victor’s “remorse”?

The source from which the claim is taken from should not be disregarded entirely—Le Figaro is still recognised as an authoritative and independent newspaper—but it does have conservative tendencies, and has largely catered to a middle, if not the upper-middle class. To put it in context, the author of the article was a count, writing about a former government official with a similar status to himself, and conducted interviews with said official’s descendants. As a result of the individuals involved and the demographic the newspaper caters to (one similar to the featured individual), the writer would be more likely to portray Victor in a positive light. If remorse does not exonerate Victor, it softens his cruelties and paints his decision as a one-off mistake instead of condemning his character flaws. Is repenting for twenty-six years not absolution enough? Is it not karmic enough that Ney’s death occurred on Victor’s birthday, permanently blackening a date supposed to be his? (Never mind that perhaps he celebrated his name day or baptism day instead of his birthday, or that one day of mourning each year is a small price to pay for a dead man.) But if, as humans, we want to believe in the inherent goodness in Victor, we must also consider the claim's side affect of apotheosising the man. This is, after all, a family account featured in a sympathetic newspaper.

If there were other sources to crosscheck this, we could verify Victor’s sentiments (and if they are true, calling your annual day to wither away in a room “remorse” may be underselling how much you regret your life choices). The problem is that I cannot find other sources. It would be gratifying to believe Victor’s grief was real, because he was only human, but it is dubious at best. One can only hope that, in some timeline, if not in this one, he did pay emotional penance. Ultimately, I think that if a claim is made, it will be remembered if it is a good story.

~ "Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg's Chaumet Art Deco Emerald Tiara. This tiara was made in 1926 by Chaumet jewelers after Prince Felice of Bourbon-Parma sent some ancient family jewels, including a huge 45-carat egg-shaped emerald donated by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria in 1859. Delivered to Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg as a Christmas gift, this jewel was made with an Art Deco style design featuring the massive emerald in the center, above a sizable square-cut diamond. Charlotte became very fond of this tiara, debuting it in the same year on the occasion of the wedding of the then Hereditary Prince Leopold of Belgium, later King Leopold III of Belgium, with Princess Astrid of Sweden. Following her abdication in 1964 in favor of her son, Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg, the tiara reached the new sovereign, Princess Josephine Charlotte of Belgium, who, however, did not seem to appreciate the jewel very much, wearing it only sporadically. Following Jean's abdication in favor of his son, Grand Duke Henry of Luxembourg, the tiara passed to his wife, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, who, unlike her mother-in-law, uses the tiara very often, using it for noteworthy appearances such as the 2011 Nobel Prize ceremony." ~

« Dans le domaine politique, les Templiers représentaient l'Universalisme. Nous nous sommes étonné plus haut que le pape ne se soit pas servi de leur puissance contre le nationalisme des princes. René Gilles nous dit qu'ils s'apprêtaient à renverser la monarchie et que Philippe le Bel en aurait eu vent. Il nous montre, en tout cas, des concordances troublantes entre le Procès des Templiers et certains faits de la Révolution de 89, considérés par certains Maçons comme une vengeance de la mort de Jacques de Molay. Un fait est certain, la Franc-Maçonnerie s'est toujours targuée de faire remonter ses origines aux Ordres des Bâtisseurs et des Templiers, et Louis XVI a été enfermé au Temple, dans la tour même où Philippe le Bel était venu s'installer le jour de l'arrestation des Templiers et ce, sur l'ordre des Jacobins alors que l'Assemblée Nationale avait désigné le Luxembourg. D'autres concordances ne sont pas moins frappantes. Il n'est pas niable que le rôle des Sociétés secrètes a toujours été fort important. L'étude de la préparation de la Révolution de 89 en a apporté des preuves éclatantes. Plus près de nous Disraëli disait que le monde n'était pas conduit par ceux qui paraissaient détenir le pouvoir, et Rathenau, ministre allemand, qui fut assassiné entre les deux guerres disait : « Le monde est conduit par vingt personnalités occultes et que je connais ». »
