Prince Charles of Luxembourg first birthday reply!
A new reply from one of our newest royals!
Prince Charles of Luxembourg is the son of Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie. After his father, he will be Grande Duke of Luxembourg.
And this little cutie just turned one!
Luxembourg replies can be really nice, especially from Guillaume and Stephanie. Their Christmas cards are always A+. This card is a heavy card stock, with everything printed directly on the paper. With the picture printed directly on the card stock, it sometimes leads to the quality not being as good as a regular photograph. In this case, I think the picture is still pretty good and I can see Charles clearly. This photo was part of the set released for his birthday.
Charles has been one busy baby, accompanying his parents on several engagements this past year. I like that we get to see him and his parents share several photographs of him. I think he's one of the cutest babies I've ever seen.
Of course with this being his first birthday the reply would be special, so I'm unsure if we'll continue to get pictures with his birthday replies. Time will tell.
The message on the card is printed in Luxembourgish (top) and French (bottom), two of the official languages of Luxembourg. I recently read an article about how Luxembourgish is actually dying out and there aren't as many speakers of it anymore. So it's interesting to see they've included it in this reply (since most of theirs are either French, German, or English). It's very similar to German and thats even what I thought it was at first.
The message says:
We thank you wholeheartedly for the expressions of kindess you have shown on the occasion of the first birthday of our son, Prince Charles
The front features an illustration of the coat of arms for Guillaume. I really love the colors. Weāve seen this version before on the birth reply for Prince Charles.Ā
