Luxembourg’s Grand Duke Henri abdicated his throne on Friday in favour of his son, Guillaume. Henri, 70, served the tiny duchy in the heart of Europe for 25 years in a largely symbolic role.
Guillaume, 43, was crowned in a ceremony before he greeted the public atop a balcony of the Grand Ducal Palace with the royal family at his side, including his wife, the Belgian-born Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy, and his sons, Charles, 5, and François, 2.
Royals from the Netherlands and Belgium are also attending. Guillaume will be Luxembourg’s seventh grand duke since 1890, when the modern monarchy was established.
