Happy Birthday, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume

Guillaume Jean Joseph Marie de Nassau was born 11 Nov 1981, at the Grande Duchesse Charlotte Maternity Hospital, not far from the BBB&B.

He is the eldest child of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa. His godparents are his aunt, Archduchess Marie-Astrid of Austria, and his uncle, Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg.

The succession law for the throne of Luxembourg is not always straightforward, but in this case, Grand Duke Henri’s eldest child is legitimate, male, and not prone to scandal. He’s active in the Luxembourgish business community, among his other interests. Good job, Your Royal Highness!
