The life of Xavier Bettel
Early life
Xavier Bettel was born in Luxembourg City on 3 March 1973. His father Claude was a wine merchant, while his mother Aniela was of French and Russian heritage.
Fame was arguably in his blood: rather surprisingly, his great-great-uncle on his mother’s side was the classical composer Sergei Rachmaninoff.
The young Bettel went to secondary school over the border at the Lycee Hélène Boucher in Thionville, before studying law at the University of Nancy and briefly attending the Aristotle University in Thessaloniki, Greece on his Erasmus exchange.
From an early age, he was involved in politics, joining the Democratic Party (DP) at 15.
But even he probably couldn’t have imagined how successful he would turn out to be.
Political beginnings
Returning to the Grand Duchy, Bettel quickly started rising up the ranks of the Luxembourgish political scene.
In 1999, he stood as a candidate for both the Luxembourg City municipal council and the Chamber
