The couple welcomed their first child, Prince Charles, at the height of the pandemic in May 2020 and was first introduced to his grandparents, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, through a video call.
When the couple announced last year that they were having a second baby, they told him RTL that Charles was “especially happy”.
He’s been saying “Mom, baby!” for a few weeks now, she is adorable,” Princess Stephanie added.

Guillaume explained that François’s birth was “quite different” from his brother’s.
She explained: “My father very kindly took the car and picked Charles up from his house and Charles was able to spend the whole day with his grandparents…while we were in the maternity ward concentrating on François’s birth.”
Speaking of when Charles first heard that François had been born, Guillaume added: “He was so excited to meet him, he turned around and went straight to him.”
“He brought so much joy to us and my parents.”
