Send us a textA royal weekend can tell you everything about a country if you’re close enough to hear the crowd breathe. We landed in Luxembourg for the enthronement of Grand Duke Guillaume V and found the city transformed: barricades that opened, officers who guided, and a square packed with the largest crowd many locals could remember. Through a lucky chain of moments, we ended up near the RTL tents and within feet of the balcony, watching a young family laugh through cannon thunder and a nation cheer in several languages at once.What stood out wasn’t just ceremony but tone and a concert that spanned opera, death metal, and pop with flawless technical craft despite rough weather. The Benelux presence underscored deep ties and a forward-looking message, while the day itself felt disarmingly human—fangirls, spontaneous greetings from the balcony, and the kind of public intimacy you don’t expect at state occasions.Back home, we unpack what to bring back and why it matters. We scored paper flags with the royal monogram, tasted commemorative chocolates, and even found a cheeky “love is love” tourism keepsake that says a lot about modern Luxembourg. The standout keepsake might be a new graphic history of Luxembourg in English—smart, accurate, and accessible—perfect for anyone tracing roots or curiosity.
