On September 29th 2016 Prince Louis of Luxembourg married Tessy Antony. It was a bittersweet marriage for the Luxembourg Royal family, even though their son was marrying the love of his life, he ultimately chose to forfeit his place in the line of succession. 

Today Prince Louis & Princess Tessy celebrate 10 years of marriage. They have two sons together; Gabriel and Noah. We wish them lots of happiness together and may there have many more things to celebrate!!!

A tribute to Shimon Peres!!!

I'd like to do a special tribute post in honour of Shimon Peres, former Israeli Prime Minister and President. This amazing statesman who advocated for peace passed away this morning after a stroke two weeks ago. 

Shimon had a special relationship with many royals during his tenure as Prime Minister, and as President of Israel. This is evidenced by the attendance at his funeral this coming Friday where we will see Prince Charles of Wales and Princess Beatrix of The Netherlands. Now I would like to share with you some memories of Shimon and Royals around the world;
