🇱🇺 A Royal Transition: Honoring Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa 🇱🇺 After 25 years of devoted service as Head of State, Grand Duke Henri will officially abdicate on October 3, 2025, entrusting the throne to his eldest son, Crown Prince Guillaume. 👑 Grand Duke Henri took the constitutional oath as Head of State on October 7, 2000. The Grand Duke and his wife, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, have since steered Luxembourg through a transformative era marked by progress, resilience, and unity. The couple met during their studies in Geneva, Switzerland, and married on Valentine’s Day in 1981. 💬 In his last Christmas address as sovereign, Grand Duke Henri reflected: “When I look back today, after almost 25 years, I do so with deep gratitude and humility.” Throughout their 25-year reign, the royal couple focused on promoting social cohesion through active engagement with various charitable organizations and civic events. Grand Duke Henri is the patron of numerous organizations dedicated to cultural, sports, environmental, and social causes. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa has played a leading role in promoting microfinance and global advocacy against violence towards women. To Their Royal Highnesses Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, we express our deepest appreciation for their years of dedicated service to the nation. 🔗 trounwiessel.lu #grandducalfamily #luxembourgroyalfamily #Luxembourg #Trounwiessel
