To their love story is added, under the pen of Stéphane Bern – who has dual French and Luxembourg nationality – the evocation of their 40 years together in the service of the country, first as heirs, then as a grand couple – ducal, as well as the humanitarian commitment of the Grand Duchess Maria Teresa.
Bye: Maria Teresa awarded by the UN for her fight against sexual violence
A very nice Christmas present for those who love crowned heads. And a generous gesture to make since all the rights of this book are reversed at the association Stand Speak Rise Up. This was created in September 2019 by Grand Duchess Maria Teresa to denounce rape as a weapon of war and sexual violence in sensitive areas, prevent its proliferation and support victims in their reconstruction work and their need for justice. .
