On Monday Guillaume was on hand to celebrate the centenary of Lycée Robert Schuman. The festivities were held at the Philharmonie de Luxembourg.
Sadly, there was only one photo of this event. I looked around and couldn't find anything else. Oh Manuel Dias where have you been?
I think it's safe to say that Guillaume is officially working as Hereditary Grand Duke on a full time basis now. The number of events and engagements he undertakes has increased dramatically since he graduated from Angers. Guillaume appears more active than anyone else in the family. I understand, of course, that the Grand Duke has many responsibilities outside of public engagements.

Angela Merkel visits Luxembourg
Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, has paid an official visit to The Grand Duchy. She met with The Grand Duke as part of her visit.
The majority of the visit was spent with Premier Minister Jean-Claude Juncker. Among the items discussed is an agreement for Luxembourg and Germany to cooperate in a wind farm in the North Sea to produce power. I'm deeply concerned for the environment. I am glad to hear of such an initiative.
Wort has an article on the visit between the Chancellor and the Premier Minister. RTL also has a mention of the visit and additional photographs.

The Hereditary Grand Duke gives awards
Guillaume has given out awards and promotions to young artisans. I must say I was really disappointed not to find more pictures of this event at the usual places.
I don't know what Guillaume has done to himself recently but wow he's been looking spectacular - gasp! Felix who? Now Guillaume if you just want to send me some pictures of yourself I'll consider it an early birthday present.
P.S.Guillaume everyone should feel free to send updates, news and pictures.........

The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess hosted a breakfast buffet at the Grand Ducal Palace. The breakfast was held for the leaders of Luxembourg's diplomatic missions. The breakfast was held in conjunction with the diplomatic conference that is being held this week.
Grand Dukes visit dairy
Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duke Jean visited Luxlait (good stuff I love their products). Luxlait has opened a facility that is among the most modern in Europe. The Grand Ducal Family have close links with the dairy.

The Hereditary Grand Duke to lead Trade Mission to Russia
Guillaume is once again going on a mission for Luxembourg For Finance. Guillaume will be in Moscow and St. Petersburg 12-15 April 2010. Guillaume and Minister Jeannot Krecke (Minister of Economy, Trade and Sport) will lead the mission.
In each city Luxembourg For Finance will host a seminar. These will focus on wealth management and investment funds. The mission is aimed at corporations, industry and treasury offices.
Luxembourg For Finance is teaming up with a local partner in both cities: in Moscow, with MOSFINAGENCY and in St Petersburg, with the international Banking Institute where the event will be open to the student community.
One-on-one meetings between companies will be organised during the course of the mission.
I'll have an eye out for info and pictures when this event rolls around.

Hereditary Grand Duke opens I.B.B.L.
On 25 February Guillaume opened the Intergrated Bio Bank Luxembourg. The event was broadcast live over the internet. Unfortunately, the press release with that information wasn't published until the day of the actual event and I am unable to locate the video anywhere online.
There is a brief mention of the event on the official website.
Hereditary Grand Duke hosts audience
The Hereditary Grand Duke hosted those responsible for organizing the 20th anniversary symposium of IRENE (Institut de Recherches et d'Etudes Notariales Européen). The audience was held at the Grand Ducal Palace on 26 February.
interview with Prince Robert
Prince Robert was recently interviewed by decanter.com. He discussed his business and his family. You may read the interview here.
Princess Marie-Astrid and family at Te Deum
On 23 February a special Te Deum was held in Belgium at Laeken in honor of deceased members of the Belgian royal family. Many members of the Belgian royal family were present.
Princess Marie-Astrid together with her husband Archduke Carl-Christian were also in attendance. They were accompanied by Archduke Christoph and Archduchess Gabriella (it is possibly Marie-Christine the only picture I saw had a chin and wisp of blond hair). The Archdukes assisted the Princess when she dropped something (her tissue?). It is always disheartening to me that the lovely princess is so rarely used by the Luxembourg family. However, I'm glad that they attend all the Belgian events.
PPE has a gallery of pictures.
