It is new to me as well, and shocking indeed. I thought the current ruling couple had a good partnership, but this sounds like the Grand Duchess takes a domineering role. For those more knowledgeable about what goes on at the Luxembourg Court, is this truly the case, and how long has it been so? And did I understand correctly that one-third of the employees of the Court have resigned?

Update: I found this article in English on Twitter (h/t Svenja Castleholic): https://today.rtl.lu/news/luxembourg/a/1457676.html. Quote: " The Lëtzebuerger Land has published an article on the alleged behaviour of Grand Duchess Maria Teresa. According to journalist Pol Schock, Jeannot Waringo's impending report could tip the institution of the Luxembourg monarchy into a serious crisis. The article alleged that no one dares to confront the Grand Duchess - from staff and the Court marshal to the Grand Duke himself. In other words, it claimed the Grand Duchess does what she wants...The weekly paper also speculated on the possibility of Grand Duke Henri's abdication following the publication of the report, based on internal sources at the Palace."

I remember the romance of their wedding, and the beautiful pictures of the couple with their growing family in the old Point de Vue! I would not have predicted this kind of outcome.

Oh wow!
This is totally new to me and quite surreal to be honest.

The results of the report about the on-going troubles at the Luxembourg Grand Ducal Court have been published and the way the Grand Duchess is portrayed is not very favourable.....
