The Grand Ducal Court of Luxembourg has a special message for early readers.
On Wednesday, the royal family of Luxembourg debuted anew websiteto teach children about the monarchy. The interactive page is available in English, French, German and Luxembourgish, the national language, and was announced with an upbeat video on X. The clip showed snippets of the fun features now live on Kids.monarchie.lu/en, opening with an illustration of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and rolling to a map of the small country’s royal residences.
“Welcome to this site which has been specially designed for you. You’ll find the answers to the questions you’ve been asking yourself: what is the role of the Head of State? Why is there a Grand Duke and not a King? And loads more!” an intro message on the new site states. “You’ll also get to meet the Grand Duchess and our whole family. At the end, there’s a short quiz to test what you’ve learnt during your visit!”
ThoughKing Charlesand the British royal family stick to one main Royal.UK web page, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium run asimilar children’s websiteabout the monarchy for young audiences.
An icon of Grand Duke Henri serves as the unofficial host in the lower left corner, and the map links to explainers on happenings at the Grand Ducal Palace, Fischbach Castle and Berg Castle, plus royal history and a family tree. Henri and Maria Theresa are parents to five adult children – Prince Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Prince Felix, Prince Louis, Princess Alexandra (who tied the knot withtwo royal weddingsearlier this year) and Prince Sebastien – and grandparents to six.
