Family and hobbies
Prince Louis travels a lot. However, he returns to his family in the Grand Duchy whenever the opportunity allows. The prince attends all official events, accompanies the royal couple on religious occasions and, of course, spends National Day, one of Luxembourg's most important holidays, at home.
