Today in Luxembourg, Princess Stéphanie celebrates her last birthday as the country’s Hereditary Grand Duchess. In October, her husband will become Grand Duke, and she will likely gain access to an exclusive collection of jewels—including two family tiaras she has not yet worn.
On Monday, royals from across Europe joined survivors, dignitaries, and heads of state and government on the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland to reflect and remember on the 80th anniversary of the camp’s liberation.
