In his speech back in December, he revealed that his son, Prince Guillaume, 43, would succeed him.
At the time, he said: “As you know, Prince Guillaume has been Lieutenant-Représentant since October 8 and is preparing intensively for his accession to the throne.”
Speaking of his son and daughter-in-law, he added: “I know that they will do their utmost to contribute to the well-being of our country.”
According to the Luxembourg government, the Act of Abdication will be signed by the current monarch on the day of transition, alongside the President of the Chamber of Deputies and the Prime Minister.
Following this, Prince Guillaume will be sworn in at the Chamber of Deputies. The ceremony will establish him as the new Grand Duke of Luxembourg, taking on the full responsibilities of the sovereign.
It will then be time for him to make his first official appearance as Grand Duke on the balcony of the Grand Ducal Palace.
