The first photos of Prince Balthasar have been shared on Instagram. Proud grandmother Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg took to her personal account on Tuesday to share pictures of her newborn grandchild.

The first photo, also posted on the Château les Crostes Instagram account, marked Prince Félix and Princess Claire’s first photo as a family of five.

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa also posted a picture of herself holding her newborn grandson next to her granddaughter Amalia. Grand Duke Henri was pictured enjoying quality time with baby Balthasar as well. Two additional snapshots showed Amalia, 9, and Liam, 7, sweetly embracing their big sister and big brother roles.

“What a great joy the arrival of Balthazar, our seventh grandchild, born on January 7 in Luxembourg. ♥️💝,” Grand Duchess Maria Teresa captioned the images.

The royal baby was born at the Maternité Grande-Duchesse Charlotte in Luxembourg. In a statement announcing their son’s birth, Prince Félix and Princess Claire said, “It is with great joy that we announce the birth of our son. The prince was born on 7th January 2024 at the Maternité Grande-Duchesse Charlotte.”
