The Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Conflict in the Luxembourg Royal Family

We've talked about so many royal stories on our channel, but we've never introduced the Luxembourg royal family. Today, let's discuss it. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a landlocked country surrounded by Belgium, France, and Germany. Since it's called a grand duchy instead of a kingdom, it means that the monarch's title in this country is Grand Duke instead of King. Luxembourg is also one of the wealthiest countries in the world, with abundant iron ore resources and a steel industry, as well as a developed financial sector. Its area is just over 2,000 square kilometers. Despite being such a small country, its head of state, the Grand Duke, is quite prominent.

[@japanjack62]

Sounds like Princess Josephine Charlotte was right about Maria Teresa.

[@ctfh1236]

Absolutely, Grand Duchess J. Charlotte was a wonderful Belgian Princess, well loved all over. But that pushy domineering feminist narcissist her son married did never fit into the royal family

[@robertmcnamara5407]

There is one very good reason for the initial disinheritance of Louis and his family. It's called the church and it still has an iron fist behind the scenes in European royal families. By marrying and letting a small amount of time elapse their titles could be quietly bestowed again.

[@ladyagnes9430]

Choosing to have sex outside of wedlock and therefore making one's child illegitimate can be avoided. Being born without royal lineage ( as in Maria Theresa's case) is not something that she nor her family could have "avoided". The two situations should not be seen as equivalent.

[@danielaxivitz6188]

Maria-Theresa was not well judged after some scandals regardjng a lifestyle too expensive and some behaviors not very polite with her co-workers in Louxembourg , not abroad.

[@Jan-ss9tm]

Everyone is assuming her background was an issue for J-C, maybe it was her character?

[@orosiaabadias5876]

María Teresa criticó a su suegra cuando esta ya había muerto y no podía contradecirla y defenderse , eso estuvo feísimo...es un comportamiento horrible...

[@ComtesseRochefort]

I met the Grand Duchess Joséphine Charlotte in Luxembourg, about 34 years ago. Even though it was only a few minutes, I liked her immediately. She was very easy to talk to, warm and charming. When she died and I was quite upset about it, even though I only met her once.

[@user-ce8sg2vx9f]

Interesting how someone who previously found herself on the wrong end of elitism can thrust the same prejudices on someone else. Good video though. Thank you and best regards.

[@karenkratzer7036]

Maybe Josephine Charlotte was correct in her feelings. But you don't air your dirty laundry in public.

[@JM-gu3tx]

in fact, it's very boorish, rude, low class and disrespectful to boot.

[@jacqueline6926]

its difficult to compare both situations. Maria Teresa is the highly educated daughter of a wealthy banking family. Louis'wife is the daughter of a roofer and was driving trucks for the Luxembourg army when they met. Its hard enough to fit in a royal family and when there is such a discrepancy in background its much harder even if Louis is far from the throne. But based on what we saw while they were married, it seems there was quite a close bond between the grandduchess and Tessy.

[@luga718]

They divorced already.

[@vickysuarez2534]

No importa si la esposa de Louis es hija de un camionero o de un chofer o de un carpintero, lo que importa es el amor verdadero, real y sincero que sienten dos personas, por Dios ya no estamos en las épocas medievales ni de la colonia, basta de prejuicios absurdos !!!!!

[@lowesonia8551]

It was the elderley Grand Duchess mother to Prince Jean husband of Josephine Charlotte, who refused to assist the wedding. That at the time made the Headlines. She was revered by the people as having stood up to Hitler even from Exile. It was also considered a bad choice as Cuba and Nazis were greatly helped by bankers in Cuba to gain passports.

[@lugano1999]

Is that background music really necessary, especially when people are speaking?

[@hauptmannbalalaika]

No it is not. But some people used to do this thinking they could prevent the voice over being pirated.

[@TheNotrac]

Prononciation of Jean is not Jean as Jean Harlow but more similar to Jon.

[@josemafabian5601]

Princess Josephine Charlotte was right about Maria Teresa...

Oh dear, it's a pity you can't pronounce The Grand Duke's name correctly!!!!

[@annehersey9895]

Judging by the press regarding how Maria Teresa treats those who work for the couple, she sounds like quite the Diva! In Josephine’s day, if you did NOT marry another Royal, you were out of Succession so I see why J-C felt that way. Look at King Charles III of Britain. He was forced to marr😢Diana because Camilla was ‘unsuitable’- noa Virgin OMG! So Charles did his duty and look how many lives were ruined because of a tradition 100 years out of date by 1980. Good for Henri for putting his foot down. I wish Charles had been that strong then and you can see why William and Harry were allowed to marry who they loved!

I think that the present Grand Dutchess shouldnt had been shared the private bad moments of herself and her mother in law,especially after she had passed away and wasnt there to defend herself.It was an act of cowardness.Why she didnt do it when her mother in law was alive?Because she was afraid of the reactions of her in laws.

Jean? as in the woman's name? Come on it's pronounced in the French style.

[@jolanda.c]

Louis was in the public eye because of his lineage. That wasn't a thing he could avoid. They could have handled the pregnacy of Tessy with more love to their son and grandson, instead of shutting them out for 3 years to use his titles. They should know from their own past that support of the family is important. Church or no church and Luxembourg people would understand the care of parents in this situation. He is the third child, the chances are small that he will ever be called to reign. So why? Now they had the press twice; first for taken it off and then for giving it back. That could have been avoided to let him and the baby keep his titles and give titles to Tessy at marriage. And from what I've heard in gossip. Maria Theresa doesn't look helpfull to her daughter-in-law Stephanie as well. Why let a woman that will get your position in the future, wear your old dresses on balls and statereceptions? Stephanie is longer, younger and has a different haircolour/skintone. Those dresses look poor on Stephanie. The pictures last forever, is that a way to outshine your status as grand duchess? In the mean while Maria Therese is accused of spending a lot and is called to be not easy on her staff as well. I don't think Josephine was far off to have her doubts.

Josephine Charlotte's behaviour ( and perspective ) regarding her daughter-in-law reveals the thinking of an immature, selfish and over-inflated self-importance like the commoners/with money who marry into "lots of wealth."
