His Royal Highness Grand Duke Henri was offered four Pretzel by the Federation of Bakers-Confectioners Patrons of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg at the annual Bretzelsonndeg 2016.

The pretzel is a Luxembourg pastry specialty, made of flaky dough covered with a layer of sugar fondant and almond and represents the arms of two lovers intertwined. The tradition is that man offers this famous pastry to his sweetheart on Sunday pretzels. This year, however, since it is a leap year, the tradition is reversed: it is women who offer the pretzel.
