The other Prince William is in a long-term relationship with his own version of Catherine

Thirty years ago Valentine's Day, honeymoon baby Prince Guillaume was born to Hereditary Grand Duke Henri and his wife, Maria Teresa of Luxembourg. The other Prince William's parents - Charles and Diana - married in July of that year. The heirs to Luxembourg and the Prince of Wales are very close in age.

And they should get together to talk!

Although both sovereign grandparents are still alive, Elizabeth II still reigns while Grand Duke Jean abdicated ten years ago. William of Wales as heir to the heir can pursue a largely private life while Guillaume takes on a full slate of royal duties.


Romance-wise, Enneagram 9 Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg is playing his cards very close to his chest - guess information on his maybe-fiancee will be given out on a need-to-know basis.

That type of discretion would have saved the now Duchess Catherine a lot of sniping.

fire at Luxembourg's Grand Duchal palace under control

That was a close call, just days to the 30th anniversary of the grand Duchal couple. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa no doubt would have been right there 'mucking out' - over the years showing a predilection towards Enneagram personality type 2.



People can count on The Helper royal to not stand by. Her empathy with others and ease of interaction are characteristic of the Heart centre.



In her efforts to make a difference, however, the 2 risks overextending herself and not receiving sufficient recognition for the work involved. Maria Teresa felt unappreciated and belittled by her mother-in-law - and as 2s sometimes do, her pentup feelings were made public. Unlike the 1, when a 2 releases stress, calm, cool, and collected are trumped by the heart-felt passions and pure emotions of hurt. According to reports, Maria Teresa's talk with local editors came with plenty of tears. The only mitigating factor was her husband's loyalty and support. Perhaps that is due to his fighting hard for them to even get engaged.

Soon - St Valentine's Day

The romantic wedding of Maria Teresa Mestre y Batista-Falla and Henri, the crown prince of Luxembourg, took place on Valentine's Day 1981. Unlike the couple who married a few months later (Charles and Diana), Maria Teresa is happily married. The mother of 5 became the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg when her husband ascended in 2000.
