“A birth is a message of hope. It’s a blessing,” Guillaume, 39, — who is heir to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg — told reporters outside of the hospital. “I think this is what we’re so happy to be able to share with Luxembourg but also over the borders with all the different countries.”
On Friday, Charles also received another birthday treat when he accompanied Guillaume and Stephanie, 37, to the town of Oetrange to witness the planting of a cherry tree in his honor.
The local mayor also unveiled a commemorative plaque to commemorate the occasion – which saw Charles help plant the tree with a toddler-sized spade.
