As mentioned at the Benelux Royals Message Board (24 January 2004),
Prince Guillaume and Princess Sibilla of Luxembourg are expecting
their fourth child in July. The pregnancy was mentioned in the leading
newspaper Wort on 17 January 2004 (also in the program "Place Royal"
19 January 2004 RTL-Letzeburg). Unfortunately Wort.lu has no search
function, that is why I mention it here "just for the record".

This is wonderful news, especially considering the near-tragedy which befell the family
since the birth of the twins.

A copy of the small article from January 17, 2004, from Le Voix de
Luxembourg (whatever that may be) - with courtesy of Josi on the Royal
Blue Forum.

événement était attendu à la Cour grand-ducale. La princesse Sibilla,

The person who gave the reference to Wort 17 January 2004 at the
Benelux Royals Message Board now (26 january 2004) says it was La Voix
and not Wort which printed the press release from the Grand Ducal
Palace (Netty Leistra also gave a reference to La Voix another place
in this thread). La Voix has no Internet version as far as I know (
http://www.lavoix.lu/ ). Just for the record... I am sure Wort printed
the bulletin as well, but without a search function at Wort.lu we will
never know for sure...

Well, if it's that important to you I take the Luxumburger Wort every
day and yes, I think I read something about it in it. It was also on
the national news on radio and also on the telly - but I can't
remember if it was just Place Royale or if it was also on the regular
news (RTL Journal).

In any case LW and La Voix de Luxembourg are sister papers. They are
both printed by the same "imprimerie" (St Paul) and you could perhaps
say that La Voix is the french counterpart of the LW. "Normal"
Luxembourgers (whatever that might be) usually read the german
speaking press, the french speaking one is more addressed to the (very
large number) of resident non-Luxembourgers, who tend to prefer French
to German.

Thanks for the confirmation and for the information about Wort and La
Voix, it was very much appreciated. My comments might have seemed
somewhat pedantic, but I thought it was important to get the facts
right for future references.

Last time I was in Luxembourg I believe Wort (the printed version) had
sections in all 3 languages (German, Luxembourgian and French), but my
memory might have fooled me?

Not necessarily. Most of LW's articles are in German but there are a
quite a few in French, too. Luxembourgish is used for the occasional
light "roubrique" as well as the death notices (! Almost the first
Luxembourgish I learned were "We have the sad duty to announce the
death of our beloved...") and other such social notices (marriage,
birth), and the occasional letter to the editor. If you take into
account the fact that you sometimes come across small items in English
(especially "notices to bond holders" etc. in the financial section,
this being Luxembourg) you have a newspaper written in four languages,
which is somewhat exceptional. Still, this mixture is typical of the
German speaking Luxembourgish press,and the country itself
("structured tri-lingualism, they call it).

Depending on how long ago you were in Lux. you might have seen the
Voix itself as part of the LW, I believe it used to be a supplement to
the LW before it became a newspaper in its own right.
