Louis Ducruet and wife Marie reveal baby gender

In November, Louis Ducruet, 30, son of Stéphanie de Monaco, 57, and his wife Marie Ducruet, 29, announced they were expecting their first child. Rumors arose when Marie greeted the national holiday on November 19, 2022 from the balcony of the Prince’s Palace in Monte Carlo and attentive fans suspected a baby bump. At the time, the two did not want to come out with it. A few days later, Louis and Marie confirmed the good news on Instagram.

Now the couple of the Monegasque princely family is speaking again on Instagram – with the gender of their child. With pink balloons and the comment “It’s a Girl”, Louis and Marie reveal that they are expecting a little girl. They posted several photos and a short video of their dog dragging the balloons attached to his collar. A lot of guests were invited to the Gender Reveal Party, so that not everyone could fit in one photo.

King Felipe flies to Brazil on New Year’s Eve

On Friday, December 9, Princess Leonor, 17, finally returns to her homeland from Wales, where she attends the renowned UWC Atlantic College. The heir to the Spanish throne celebrates the last days of Advent and Christmas with her family. On New Year’s Eve, Leonor, her sister Princess Sofía, 15, and Mama Queen Letizia, 50, have to do without King Felipe, 54. The Spanish royal family will have to start the new year without the monarch. The reason: royal obligations and a long-distance trip to Brazil.

King Felipe is among at least 12 heads of state who have announced their attendance at the inauguration of Brazil’s new President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 77. The launch will take place on January 1, 2023. According to the Spanish news portal “Vanitatis”, Felipe’s flight is scheduled to take off at 2 a.m. from the Torrejón de Ardoz base. Considering the time it takes to walk from the Prince’s Pavilion to the grounds of the Zarzuela Palacecoming to Madrid-Barajas Airport, it can already be assumed that he will not be able to greet the new year at home.

Princess Victoria is ill: Hof comments on her participation in the Nobel Prize

On December 10, 2022, the Nobel Prizes will be awarded with magnificent celebrations in Stockholm. For the first time since 2019, this event can be celebrated with a lavish party. However, the highly acclaimed ceremony could take place this year without Princess Victoria, 45. The heir to the throne is ill, as “Svensk Damtidning” reported on December 6, citing the Stockholm City Mission. Today, Wednesday, the daughter of King Carl Gustaf, 76, and Queen Silvia, 78, should have attended the opening of the St. Paul meeting place there, but had to cancel the appointment due to illness.

The court confirmed the information: “The crown princess has a slight cold,” said court spokeswoman Margareta Thorgren. “We take one day at a time.” Meanwhile, the battered royal is playing it safe: “The crown princess is at home today – out of consideration for others, she is doing the action with the city mission on another day.” When asked by the magazine about Victoria’s attendance at the Nobel Prize celebrations, Thorgren was upbeat: “She definitely plans to attend the Nobel Prize celebrations,” reiterating, “She only has a mild cold.” Other family members have not been infected so far: “Prince Daniel and the children are fine.”

Hof reveals: Princess Madeleine celebrates Christmas in Sweden

Princess Madeleine, 40, has built a new life in Florida with husband Chris O’Neill, 48, and their three children. However, she apparently wants to be reunited with her family for Christmas. As the farm announces, she and her loved ones will be spending the festive season back in Sweden. “Yes, she and her family want to come home for Christmas,” explains Margareta Thorgren, head of information at the farm, to “Svensk Damtidning”. However, it has not yet been revealed when exactly they will make their way across the pond. “We never announce exact dates, but it is when we approach Christmas week,” the spokeswoman said.

According to the official school vacation calendar for Miami-Dade County, where the small family lives, December 22, 2022 is the last day of school before winter vacation. But maybe Madeleine and Chris will take Princess Leonore, 8, Prince Nicolas, 7, and Princess Adrienne, 4, out of school a few days early so that they can experience Christmas without jet lag.

Emperor Naruhito: Breathe easy! Tissue sample shows no evidence of prostate cancer

This message not only pleases the recipient, but a whole people! Japan’s Emperor Nahurito, 62, has had anxious weeks. In early November 2022, the regent had to undergo a prostate exam at Tokyo University Hospital. After a tissue sample was taken on December 4th, no abnormalities were found in the subsequent examinations. This was announced by the imperial court office on Monday.

A few weeks ago, Emperor Naruhito had an increase in a tumor marker. The royal patient then underwent an MRI on November 6, 2022 at Tokyo University Hospital [Magnetresonanztomographie, Anm. d. Red.] carried out. With the imaging procedure, the structure and function of the tissues and organs in the body were examined more closely. Apparently there was reason for concern at this point. Now the 62-year-old can breathe again. Nevertheless, his personal physicians remain vigilant: According to Ryozo Nagai, the medical head of the imperial household, his state of health is still being monitored by blood tests.
