Grand Ducal Family Attends Winterfest Service! Among the many devout who spent part of this snowy Winterfest morning at Notre-Dame de Esten Cathedral was the extended Grand Ducal family of Estenbourg. The service, administered by Cardinal Geoffrey Bequet, Archbishop of Estenbourg, was also broadcast publicly via both radio and television.His Royal Highness, Grand Duke Mathew and Her Royal Highness, Grand Duchess Alixandrine are seen here leading the family’s exit from the Cathedral, followed closely by HRH Prince Wilhelm, Hereditary Grand Duke, who can be seen carrying his young first cousin once removed, Countess Maria Louisa of Vergiess-Huel, whose grandmother, HRH Princess Mathilde, Dowager Countess of Vergiesss-Huel, walks a few paces away. Rounding out the group are HRH Princess Amelia and HRH Prince Jerome, the Grand Ducal couple’s younger two children. The family, escorted by only mild security, walked the mile from the cathedral to Wenceslaus Palace, with the Grand Duke stopping at a few points to pass out chocolate oranges and other small gifts to children watching the procession.After finishing Winterfest celebrations with his family, HRH Prince Wilhelm will be travelling to Krasnoyarsk for a brief state, and longer personal, visit with their Imperial Family. While distant relations of the Shakhovsky family, The Hereditary Grand Duke counts them amongst his closest friends. (Happy belated winterfest, more than a month later! Thank you to @krasnoyarsk-nobility​ for hosting the upcoming visit - I’m looking forward to what we have in store!) -- source link
