The royal family of Luxembourg is recognized for their closeness to the people and for being a symbol of unity in times of difficulty. They have witnessed major transformations in the country, standing out both politically and socially. Prince Guillaume, the eldest son of Grand Duke Henri, has been a key figure in preparing the future of the Grand Duchy.
Guillaume of Luxembourg has closely followed royal responsibilities, actively collaborating in various official duties. Together with his mother, the Grand Duchess, he has fulfilled royal functions. He has also witnessed the changes the country has experienced, socially, economically, and culturally.
Prince Guillaume prepares for the change of his life
October 3 will be a key date in the history of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. On that day, official events will begin that will mark the start of a new era in the monarchy. At 10:00 a.m., Grand Duke Henri will sign his abdication, a solemn act that will make way for his son, Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg.
The prince, who has been preparing for months, will officially assume the duties of the throne after previously serving as lieutenant. This transition has been carefully planned, allowing the future Grand Duke to become familiar with the responsibilities before his formal ascension.
A day full of solemn events in honor of Guillaume
The day will begin with official ceremonies in the city of Luxembourg, with the signing of Henri's abdication. One hour later, Prince Guillaume will swear his new role in the Chamber of Deputies. After this event, Luxembourgers will be able to see the new monarchs greeting from the balcony of the Ducal Palace.
The day will continue with a meeting with citizens in Guillaume II Square and a reception with authorities. The night will culminate with a gala dinner at the Grand Ducal Palace, attended by international figures to celebrate this historic change.
A tribute from Prince Guillaume to the country and its people
On Saturday, October 4, Prince Guillaume will begin his first day as Grand Duke with a series of visits to different localities in Luxembourg. During this tour, he will visit communities from various areas, from sports to health, to greet citizens and show his support.
The day will end with a symbolic event on the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge, accompanied by an orchestral performance and a ballet. It will be a tribute to the unity of the Luxembourgish people and to the resilience in the face of the challenges they have overcome throughout history.
The festivities will conclude on Sunday with a Te Deum at Notre-Dame Cathedral, officiated by Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich. This religious service will be the perfect close to a weekend full of emotion and meaning. With this, the Luxembourg royal family will officially begin a new chapter in their history.
