Hélie is the former Grand Duke and Grand Duchess' ninth grandchild. Henri and Maria Teresa are also grandparents to Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stéphanie's two boys, Prince Charles and Prince François, as well as Prince Félix and Princess Claire's three kids, Princess Amalia, Prince Liam and Prince Balthazar, and Prince Louis' sons Prince Gabriel and Prince Noah.
In an interview with historian Laurence Debray, published this past April, Maria Teresa shared that she was looking forward to seeing her "grandchildren grow up" in the next chapter of her life. She said: "I was lucky enough to have two grandmothers who played a key role in my development and I know how decisive that is. So it's very important to me to be there for my grandchildren and to nurture a relationship of trust with them."
