In Luxembourg City, the Maison du Grand-Duc has released new portraits of His Royal Highness Prince François of Luxembourg on the occasion of his 3rd birthday.

Born Prince François Henri Luis Marie Guillaume at the Maternité Grande-Duchesse Charlotte on March 27th, 2023, he is the second child of Their Royal Highnesses Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stéphanie of Luxembourg. He is currently second in the line of succession to the Grand Ducal throne, following his elder brother, His Royal Highness Prince Charles of Luxembourg.

The portraits were taken by photographer Ms. Sophie Margue at Château de Fischbach, the private residence of the Grand Ducal family.  

In a communiqué issued by the Maréchal de la Cour on July 17th, 2024, it was announced that the Grand Ducal couple plans to establish a new private residence on the grounds of Château de Berg in Colmar-Berg, the official residence of the Sovereign. 

The planned residence, intended for family use, is to be privately financed, while Château de Berg will retain its institutional and representational functions.

The release of the portraits of Prince François forms part of the Maison du Grand-Duc’s customary practice of marking significant milestones within the Grand Ducal family.
