Friday Flashback: Eemaischen Through the Years

With Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie visiting the Eemaischen on Monday, I thought we'd have a look back on previous visits by the Grand Ducal Family to the traditional Easter market in Luxembourg City.

A few years and sons later, Grand Duchess Maria-Teresa visited the market together with Prince Guillaume, Prince Félix and Prince Louis in 1990...
...and five years later, in 1995, it's time for Princess Alexandra and Prince Sébastien to try out the little bird whistles at the Eemaischen.
